I first want to say thank you to everyone who donated to the David Birthday Fund. I greatly appreciate it. All of you are true friends of mine, and I’d drop everything to return the favor. That’s what’s great about our community. Everyone is so helpful and generous. There isn’t any real competition.

Adsense Updates

We’ve reached the halfway point in the month, and as of right now I have just over $190 in my Adsense account. That comes to about $12.67 per day (a few dollars over my $10/day goal I set back in July). At this rate I will finish the month just under $400. That’s a pretty good month for me, and as I continue to add sites to my network, I expect the revenue to grow.

My top earner thus far continues to be Fight Song Lyrics, bringing in just over $60. I am surprised that revenue has stayed even though college football is virtually over. There are a few bowl games left, which I hope to cash in on, after that who knows what will happen to my earnings. My second top earner is Layout Pimps at $59 so far this month (if you add in Adbrite, it actually has earned closer to $70).

Adbrite Earnings

It has now been 12 days since I added Adbrite to Layout Pimps. My total for those 12 days is $8.75. That comes to just over $20 per month. Not bad for doing 0 work. I simply added the Adbrite code, and haven’t touched it since. Free money is what I call it. I’ll continue to watch this and keep you updated.

A New Goal 

A few months back I made it clear in some posts that my goal was to make $10/day by the end of December. This is back when I was struggling to make $1-2/day. It is safe to say that I have reached that goal. Barely, but I did it.

I’m setting a new goal for myself. This one is going to be way more challenging, and really force me to create great sites and drive a lot of traffic to them. My new goal will be to make $50 more per month, every month. Keep in mind this is just money from Adsense, not link sales, private ad sales, Adbrite, or anything else. So if I make $390 this month, my goal will be to make $440 by the end of January, and then $490 by the end of February. If I keep this up, I will be at around $1000/month by this time next year. While that doesn’t seem like a lot to many of you, it is to me. To know I went from $0/mo to $1000/mo in 2 years will be a great accomplishment in my eyes, especially since this is a part time job for me.

Well, that’s it for the day. I’m going out to eat dinner with my family tonight and going to have some yummy cake. I’m not really sure of my plans for tomorrow. Sunday the Jaguars travel to Tennessee to play their division rival Titans. We should win :-)
