Well another month is over with, I am finding it hard to believe that we are already into our seventh month of the year. It seemed like only last week that I was seeing in the New Year in a part of London with friends. People are now talking about how long it is till Christmas!
The first of the month means one thing here at IND and that is it is time for the Monthly Blog Income Report!
Sadly I have not followed through with my promise to knuckle down and I think you can see that by the fact that my income has dropped from last month to one of the lowest of all time.
I started this as a little side project in November 2007 to determine if it was at all possible to earn proper money on the internet as many other people have claimed to have done before me.
Page Impressions & Visitor Count
I’ve decided to give this another go starting from next month. Everyone I have spoken to have informed me that Google Analytics are the most accurate stat tracker.
So from next month I will be using Google Analytics to track my traffic.
Money Money Money!
Adbrite = $0.20 (-$0.28)
Adsense = $12.04 (+$8.38)
Adtoll = $0.57 (+$0.28)
Bidvertiser = $0.18
Clicksor = $0.55 (+$0.20)
Kontera = $0.04 (+$0.04)
Reviews = $31.00 (-$62.85)
Smowtion = $0.07
TLA = $16.93 (+$4.52)
Xapads = $0.06
Total = $61.64 (-$49.40)
* The reason for the drop in earnings is due to me taking on a new job as I am not being productive enough to earn enough money from this blog to give up a normal job.
* Halfway through the money I started using Bidvertiser, Smowtion & Xapads. Bidvertiser is PPC company while Smowtion & Xapads pay me for every 1,000 unique visitors.
* This month is Kontera’s last month to impress me before I remove them completely.

Yep, this year has flown by!.. my Google Ads are coming along nicely, took in $240 last month alone.
$240 a month is good compared to what a lot of us make.
One thing I forgot to mention in the post was that the $12.04 I made from Adsense this month meant that I hit my $100 payout amount.
Thanks for dropping by.
Hey Dean,
Well done with Adsense! You’ve had MUCH better luck with it than I have.
So you made less all round in June than you did the month before? Just try again in July, August, etc.
take care…
Hiya Ebele, I just noticed this comment! Never have it said that I don\’t (eventually) reply to comment!
Are you still using Adsense? I stopped using it about a year or so ago.
