As you can see on my blog, I have two new revenue options. I have removed the Google 468×60 at the top of all my pages, and replaced it with a private banner sale. Links Juice is a PR6 link directory. It is a promising site. If you’re looking to spend some money to buy featured links in a high PR directory, I recommend this one.

Another revenue option is that DreamHost ad I place just above my picture. Dreamhost pays a lot of money if you can refer people. They pay $97 per new customer. That’s a lot of cheese! If I can refer 1 person a month that would amaze me. If you run a high traffic blog, it might be worth it to just stick this little button and see if you can earn some cash.

They also have an option to earn recurring payments equal to 10% of every payment your customers ever make. That could equal to a lot more than a one time payment of $97 if you can land some long term customers. Here’s a link for their hosting rewards information.

I’m still going to keep the 250×250 Adsense embedded into each post. I earn some money from it. Like $15 last month. They clicks pay pretty well, its just a matter of me bringing in new traffic to click them. I know all my regular readers don’t click on Google Ads.

At this point, I’m still not trying to turn this blog into a $1000/mo blog. It is more a journal for me. My goal by year’s end is just to have this blog pay for all my hosting costs, which would be around $50/mo. Unless I can start bringing in 1000s of uniques a day, then I might have to rethink my earning goals for this blog.
