I don't know. There was a moment already when I declared victory on this blog, and it was kinda premature... After several days I was dropped from the first page of SERPS, traffic went, and so were earnings. I had several spikes of traffic since then, but neither stayed more than a handfull of days. My earnings were more or less stable in the are of $30 a day, and climbed steadily - but slowly... Finally late February I got a kind of jump, and it stays in the area of $150 a day - which...

Today I changed right skyscraper colors in DDs to FF blue background, all D title, and all A text and link. We'll see how it goes :) Posted by Joshua Nestor at Labels: Adsense Layout linkroll onlywire wink looklater Read Full Story

There are not many changes with my Adsense for the last month - since I last posted here. I did not perform to expectations, and Adsense revenue for October was even lower than in September. Still, it was more than $1000, which gives me a hope I can finally make it in the nearest future. For some reason I lost interest to posting my "adventures" here, so this blog will just hang around until I want to post again - or forever. Good luck to everybody :D Posted by... Read Full Story

The younger you are, the easier it is to take technology for granted. Whether you are jaded or, like me, more easily entertained, I find mapping services like G-Maps simply miraculous. The people who have put together this technology over the last 10 years are geniuses.If you never utilized this excellent service, go to maps.google.com now. It doesn't matter where you are going... the shortest most up to date driving directions and maps are seconds away. I have been using Google Maps for a... Read Full Story

Things are gradually getting better. After quite some time down the page I'm back to the third place with my former main search term, and I'm slowly creeping up with my now main and second search terms. Currently I'm holding 16th and fifth places respectively. After serious dip well below 1000 traffic is back to around 2000 level, and adsense shows some more or less respectable figures. Nothing close to $150 just yet, but yesterday I managed to close $44, which is way better than last... Read Full Story

Here is an update on my risky traffic building experiement. Currently Halfdeck's tool found about 340,000 pages and crawled 91,000 of them. Search engines found some, too, but the results are mixed so far. I definitely got a serious boost on MSN across the board. And I got a serious slap on Yahoo across the board, too. Google seems to be indifferent so far, with just a few noticeable changes both up and down. Yesterday I realized that all of my Amazon pages have identical title. I had... Read Full Story

OK, here we go again - one month is over and another month begins. Time to access how plans were fulfilled, and to make new plans. September was really controversial. I did manage to close $1119 in Adsense total - noticeably higher than the maximum planned. At the same time, it did not leave the feeling of satisfaction. There were three teaser days with revenues well above $100 each that showed what income could be achieved, and then things just slid back to the mediocre levels... Read Full Story

There was no progress in traffic and Adsense since my last post. Worse, my SERP for the current main keyword went down even more, and currently I'm on the seventh place. Fifth place for the second one does not bring much traffic, too. All this coupled with the usual Sunday drop in traffic translated into the lowest traffic figures I've seen since the mid September. Here is the chart from Google Analytics: Adsense followed the suit and showed me the figures between $40 and $50, today... Read Full Story

Oh, well, it's not always that rosy, you know... Yesterday I went down to the fourth place with my now main keyword for ddir, and today I'm even more down, currently on the sixth place. Accordingly, my traffic dried out (relatively), and my Adsense earnings took a nosedive, too. While three days of the third place on SERPs turned over $151, $137, and $157, yesterday I was not able to hit even $100 and closed at $93.62. Today's forecast is even grimmer, and I frankly do not expect much... Read Full Story

I thought it might be a one-day miracle but it is not. As I write this, I'm still on the third place for that keyword, I'm still getting tons of traffic albeit slightly less than yesterday, and my Adsense is still showing me daily numbers well in excess of $100. Well, I now believe it is sustainable, and I plan on increasing this level of earnings at least two times. I'm having two good rankings now, and I can improve the second one. It will not double the overall traffic, but it will... Read Full Story
