The month of July has been something of a landmark for me. Not just about the amount that I earnt, or the amount of traffic I managed to attract, it was the first month that I decided to devote all my time and energy to this blog, making it a full time job.
What a very scary prospect that is. No offline job to fall back on, no other means of support, just me and this blog. And you know what? I am looking forward to this difficult challenge and am ready to take it on!
Page Impressions & Visitor Count
The unique visitor count for July stands at 711, which is a great increase of 312 from the month of June.
The page impression count for July stands at 1.578, which is a massive increase of 905 from the month of June.
This means that each unique visitor looked at 2.22 pages.
I am really pleased with the traffic for this month and as I find my feet I feel this will sky rocket very soon. I would say that the reason my traffic has spiked is the increased participation in blog commenting and reposting old posts on Twitter.

- Kontera is slowly being fazed out from all my blogs and is being replaced with Infolink (hence the increased amount I earnt this month).
- I have started heavily using Twitter to make money and considering it is my first month I am pleased with the start I have made.

Interesting, so you are earning a lot through reviews huh? Are these product related reviews?
Anyway I am trying to monetize my blog too will see how it works out. Once I start making some money I will also create an income report
To be honest a lot of the reviews are not product related. I’m like one of those low-class hookers, you pay me enough and I’ll write about ANYTHING.
Congrats, it is not too bad. I hope my new blog will reach this goal sooner
Oh I’m sure you will, it looks incredibly professional and well written.
Congrats. Nice income. I am newbie to blogging and I seriously don’t know how much we can earn online by blogging. But after reading lots of articles i came to know that the income from blogging can outmatch our day job.
In your income report, you mentioned reviews? Which site are using for getting advertisers?
Thank you, I hope your blog is even more successful.
The only limitation to making money by blogging is how many hours you devote to it. I’ve found the more time I put in, the more I get.
You can find a list of the review networks I use from the list below:

Your income are pretty good =)
Glad you like it.
Wow, the reviews are fantastic – makes me want to check into them again, didn’t realize there’s so much potential there.
Congrats on such a great month, take it and run with it. Figure out exactly what your success was and go from there!
I would also suggest that it would be interesting if you were to contact the websites/businesses that you wrote the reviews. They went through a 3rd party review site I’d assume – I’m sure you could see if they need additional reviews for other products and services
Traffic-wise I found that blog commenting and promoting my old posts on Twitter were the main reasons for the spike.
I’ve seen the increase in my review earnings because I have been spending more time applying for more opps and one of my blogs recently became a PR2 and a lot more advertisers wanted their reviews on that blog.
I had never thought of contacting past advertisers directly before. That is a great idea and certainly something I will take up at some point this month.
Great income man . like your stats:)
Thank you.
Do you publicise your online income?
