From 70 to 23K Google Adsense Earning Recap

There are million ways to earn money online and google adsense is just one of them. Let me share you my earning recap for being a google publisher since the first day I use adsense.

January - December 2007 Adsense Recap:

January 2007 is when I successfully setup my first blog using the free blog hosting (www.blogger.com). Here are the unforgettable dates and numbers on my first year of being an adsense publisher:

  • February 12, 2007 - my blog received its very first adsense page impression.
  • March 2, 2007 - somebody clicked my adsense ads making it my official first adsense earning equivalent to $0.11
  • $3.22  -  highest adsense earning per day on that year.
  • Total page impression for 2007 is 93,534 and my total earning for the whole 2007 is a whoooping $70.05!... that is an average of $0.24 per day, very very impressive eh?

GeoTargeting PHP Script Plugin

Since I started playing around with affiliate marketing I already learned many things. One of these is how to redirect visitor to specific link according to which country they originated.

I have this blog that have a good amount of traffic.  If I want to implement a CPA offer in that blog, I need to find way to segregate my organic visitors automatically.  The idea is this - drive US visitor to CPA offer accepting US traffic, or if the visitor is from Australia, send him/her to similar CPA affiliate link accepting Australia traffic.

Free Facebook Ads Coupon Code

Just want to share you this $250.00 $275.00 $300.00 (and counting...) worth of free Facebook Ads for you to steal :) .

November 2008 Affiliate Earning Summary & How I did it

Tommorrow - December 9 will the 1st day of me going full time in affiliate marketing.  It will also my first day in the 3 weeks leave.  Yes, I filed a day-off from my 8-5:30 job and it will be effective from December 9 - January 1 2009.  Lets see how far I will go within this 3 weeks of going full time in this online money making activity.  I have mentioned it in my long term and short term affiliate marketing plan.

Okay, back from the main topic. I just want to share you the update of my affiliate experience for the Month of November.  As you are already aware, November 8 is when I first received my first sale in this money making opportunity.  I made $296.11 on that day and I'm really really happy on that experience.  After that day what happened next?

Alrighty, here is the quick stats of the November 2008 Affiliate earning.  This is from a not so aggressive, free marketing campaign of the product I chose from Clickbank and one free offer product from NeverBlue Ads.

My Hosting Story & Hostgator Promo / Coupon Codes

If you are one of my ten readers who are following this money making blog, you probably seing a big notice that:

" THIS WEB HOSTING ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED . . contact blah blah blah. "

Hostmonster, where I previously host my sites deactivated my account due to site causing perfomance problems.  This is the main disadvantage of hosting my sites in shared server environment.  Support specifically told me that the account suspension is due to excessive use of MySQL to the point that it is causing issues for others users in the the server. Now, the big problem is that most of my sites are hosted under this account, so when they disable my main account most of my sites have been inaccessible which drastically affects my online income. :(

Defining my Long Term & Short Term Goals

Its been more than one month since I started this blog with the objective to document my online earning experiences and yet I haven't written yet my GOAL which is a very important ingredient of a successful projects.

I know most of the successful affiliate marketer are writing their goals so I must write one too.  GOAL is the MAP to success afterall.

To begin with, let me share you my long term and short term goals for www.zalds.com  Long term goals are those which I want to achieve after one year.  Under the long term goal are short term goals which is list of actions specifically design to meet my main goals.

My Lucky Day in my 1st Affiliate Marketing Promotion

After my post about my affiliate marketing gameplan, I decided to promote one product in a peculiar way..I think I'm violating the affiliate marketing rule here (don't re-invent the wheel..)

I just wrote a quick post, put a blantant call to action on it like "Click Here if you want to learn more about this product..." then hit publish button.  I am not going to go in detail how I did it coz I treat this marketing strategy as experimental.  Over all the time it takes to complete the whole marketing process is around 30 minutes.

I didn't create a landing page, I didn't use PPC... earning came from free traffic source..

Fast forward - -  after 8 hours, this is my clickbank stats commission.  :) I have made 9 sales (1 sale from November 8 and 8 sales November 9) that gives a total commission of $296.11
