Here is the breakdown of my earnings for October 2010,
- Google Adsense : $641.51
- Kontera : $69.99
Total money made online : USD$711.50 , with eCPM of USD$4.07.
There were so many milestones archived last month. First, last month has recorded the highest ever traffic in term of both visits and page views. I received extra 40k visits and 59k page views as compared to the month before. Then, the highest traffic in a single day has just broken. Previously, the busiest day was on August 8, 2008 (08-08-08) with 6,420 page views.
Now, October 9, 2010 is the new busiest day with 6,828 page views. FYI, the record has not been broken for more than 2 years! 🙂
More good news? My Tech Quest has now over 500 subscribers! Okay, I know the numbers I have here is still little if compared to other top tech blogs. But at least the slowly increasing subscribers figure will keep me motivated to get more and more feed subscribers.
Well, that’s not all. I have yet to mention about my improved blog earning. Ladies and gentlemen, I have hit $700 mark last month. The highest earning that I’ve ever earned in a month thus far. I have confident that the $1000 mark can be archived in the nearest time.
Earn More Money with Google Adsense Premium Ad Units
Mike over CravingTech.com has shared a great opportunity to increase (or if you’re lucky, then double) your current earning from Google Adsense. That’s by joining a partnership with TechMediaNetwork and as a result, you are allowed to use Google AdSense Premium ad formats on your blog.
The screenshot shown example of premium ad format used on CravingTech.com.
FYI, the Premium ad formats are only available for Google Adsense Premium Publisher. If you get 20 million page impressions or 5 million searches per month, you will be offered to become Adsense premium members and qualify to serve premium ad formats. The problem is to get to the 20 million page views figure is kind of tough. I have less than 200k page views per month and how long do you think it takes my blog will archive 20 million page views per month?
So by joining a partnership with them, you can use these ads without the requirements. The catch is you have to split the earnings with them but the amount is decided based on your earnings history and a figure that you both are happy with. I guess you won’t mind having to split the earning between you and TechMediaNetwork when you see how much extra money you can earn using the Adsense premium ad format.
As for me, I will definitely contact the people over TechMediaNetwork as soon as possible and hopefully get approved by them, and start serving the premium ads before December. 🙂 Lol, I can smell more money coming! Eyeing for $1000 and possibly more than that!
So if you are interested, read more on the partnership with TechMediaNetwork here.
P.S. : Waiting for advertisers to place their ads via BuySellAds and BlogAds.
