Study of Blog Earnings Report August 2007

Tag: Blogging, Site Monetization, Web Dev/Site PromoBush Mackel @ 7:00 am

Two months ago, I discovered Daily Burger.com’s “make money online blog list” and was inspired to make a list of my own…A study of his list that broke down the revenue totals with Alexa Rank, Page Rank and Revenue Source.

For the past two months, I’ve gone back to Daily Burger but it seems like there hasn’t been a post in quite some time. So I decided to have my own Blog Earning Reports! Apart from names and sites appearing on the list this time around, you’ll also see my pitful numbers… At the bottom of the list!

Revenue Name Alexa Rank Page Rank Revenue Source
$17,828.61 John Chow 2,475 6 Aff Sales/ReviewMe
$10,394.00 Everton 19,590 6 AdSense
$5,924.11 Amy Bass 132,895 0 CashCrate
$341.94 Alex “apexad” Martin 326,069 5 Pay Per Post
$270.16 Matt Huggins 97,009 3 Direct Advertising
$215.34 BeachBum Michael 310,236 4 Pay Per Post
$159.50 Madhur Kapoor 116,296 4 AdSense
$105.62 Bush Mackel 128,109 1 Review/Me
$9.12 Casey 119,327 0 Kontera

If anyone is interested, here’s how my earnings shook out:

  1. $50.00 – Pay Per Post
  2. $35.00 – ReviewMe
  3. $10.62 – AdSense
  4. $10.00 – Blogsvertise

All in all my profits have gone up quite a bit from last month, but they’re still nothing to write home about. (Just on my blog) Worse yet, since I’m under the cap for Blogsvertise and AdSense, there’s no telling when I’ll actually SEE that money. And of course with PPP I have to wait a freakin’ month to get that money. *ugh* Oh well. I figure though that if I can keep earnings up I won’t care that payments are deferred a month because I’ll constantly have money coming in anyway.

Anyone else care to share? If you are so nice to post your earnings and the rest, I’ll go ahead and update this post w/ your information (including a shiny new link for your site/post)!

    those are some good numbers man keep it up!

  2. GnomeyNewt says:

    I think your doing great. Just keep it up and you will be rolling in it soon :c)! That is amazing what Amy has done, I am subscribed to her blog and how she does all that in one month is insane.

  3. Bush Mackel says:

    @Shaun – Thanks! You should give me a link so I can add your numbers too!

    @G-Newt – Yeah, Amy is nutz. I wonder how many hours she puts in for that stuff.

  4. apex says:

    Amy Bass is indeed a very interesting one. I had never seen her site until now. I read her blurb about CashCrate. I am so tempted to do it. However, I want to point out that using that site is in no way a credit to the popularness of your blog. I will be doing an earnings post sometime over the next few days, and I’ll give you a link.

    Consider this though, I’ve been using PayPerPost since Jan. 11th, and so far I have actually had $641.49 sent to me. Some hard work over the last month (including some of the 7 days of september), PayPerPost owes me (meaning I’ll get it in the next 30 days) $371.57.

  5. Madhur Kapoor says:

    Thats not a bad start buddy . You will do well in the future . If you want to include mine , check out this post http://www.whoismadhur.com/2007/09/01/august-07-roundup/

  6. Bush Mackel says:

    @Apex – Tremendous work on Pay Per Post my friend. I’m gonna run over soon and double check your blog for an earnings post, otherwise I’m gonna try and contact you directly to put your earnings up. Oh wait – Looks like you added trackback with your earnings! Time for me to do some editing! (#):D

    @Madhur – I do want to include your earnings and will do so soon! Thanks!

  7. Chuck says:

    I’ve moved up from $0 to $0.00.

    I believe the cause of the decimal and additional zeros to be the change I made on the placement of my ads ; )

  8. Bush Mackel says:

    @Chuck – HA HA HA! You know, I originally had you in this like last month, but I didn’t want to make it seem like you were being pressured on anything. (#);)

  9. Forest Parks says:

    I didn’t do much last month, But I think I earned about 99c so far this month, woo hoo!

    I’m waiting until I can do Pay Per Post and stuff like that.

    I’m nearly settled here enough in Montrel to start dedicating more time to my Blog again.

  10. apexad says:

    Indeed, since you prompted me to do the earnings post I mentioned you in it. Go ahead and delete the Trackback and add it to the main post, I would like that better.

    As far as PayPerPost goes, indeed, I’m really doing it a lot lately. Honestly I think my blog has suffered a little bit, but the whole ‘keeley hazell’ thing should help bring it back. The United Kingdom is my second biggest audience according to google analytics. (after the United States)

  11. Bush Mackel says:

    @Forest – Ah ha. So is that what you’ve been up to all this time? “Settling in”? Well gl with all of that and I look forward to you hitting the mean streets of Blogville once again!

    @Apexad – Don’t fear bud, you’ll strike the right balance soon….or just continue to make money. *shrugs* One or the other. (#):D

  12. BeachBum Michael says:

    Thanks for the link and posting my income. I think my PR is a 4 and not a 2, but that is ok. Since you were cool and posted my numbers for August I will give you a heads up for September. This month I am not doing as many PayPerPost offers so my income will be lower. But I am working on a 10 minutes a day project that should bring in just as much money for much less work.

    Best of luck!

    BeachBum Michael

  13. Bush Mackel says:

    @Apexad & Madhur – You guys are in! Thanks for the updates!

    @BeachBum Michael – Sorry about the incorrect reporting on your PR! I may have been looking at another site and then it kept the PR while I looked at yours. But it has all been fixed now!

  14. Casey says:

    August was a horrible month for me! This month will be better!

  15. Bush Mackel says:

    @Casey – We all have our off months buddddddddddddddddddd-y. I’m sure you’re gonna get right back on track!

  16. Umar says:

    Hi! Fellow postie from PPP. :)
    Here’s my August income.
    http://www.5xmom.com/index.php/2007/09/03/august-income-report/

    and I have exceeded that in September already! Cheers, keep blogging. PPP rocks. But I have a combination of several monetizing programs to achieve $4.2K as I am from Asia (duh) and got segmented out. My PPP ID is Chan (the top all time earner with the red Wordpress T)

  18. Bush Mackel says:

    @Umar – Hey! How’d you find me!? In any event I’m glad that you did and congrats on your success! Does your blog only show one post at a time? That’s very interesting…I don’t recall seeing another blog to really do that.

    @Lilian – Hey Lilian! Glad you stopped by, I think I’ll have to add you to this months post! BTW, I checked your report and it seems that you’re making a killing on AdSense! Do you have any secrets that you could share with us?

    Oh and another thing, thanks for the warm PPP greeting! I’m really still getting my feet wet with that program so the love is appreciated!
