Ok, it’s late, but I’m backdating this post to feel better about myself and blog posting schedule. Here’s my blogging revenue report for November 2008.
Amazon (all countries) – $1117.85
Google AdSense – $980.76
CPM Ads – $1027.11
Misc Other PPC & Affiliates – $1249.28

Grand Total for November 2008 - $4375.00
All in all I’m pretty happy with November. I had a couple of affiliate deals that got pushed a bit into December for one reason or another, which makes December that much better. Blog traffic was down overall; however, it’s picked up in December and I’ll have another report up asap after January 1.
Oh, and I suck at PPC to affiliate marketing thus far. I generally hate keyword research. While there is a bit of satisfaction in putting a campaign together and hitting the launch button in AdWords, I have yet to make a red cent from the few hundred bucks I’ve invested. I’m not quitting; however, I’m back to the drawing board and have focused more on what I’m good at during the holidays – blogging. I’m also developing my niche content sites for growth in the SERPs. As a result, I’ve seen traffic increase the past month or so.
I’ve also got some big news to share with the handful of patient readers that put up with my monthly posts on this blog. That will have to wait after the first of the year though. It’s good news though – for me and this blog.
