Top 6.94% – that’s pretty healthy Another 4 Direct referrals this month which is good – 1 a week. But it seems people just couldn’t be arsed promoting Agloco once they sign up

My stats are a perfect example of a good salesman -v- a bad one. I’ve referred 18 people directly now. If everyone in my network (5 levels deep) duplicated my work rate, i’d have a network of over 1500 So for most of those who signed up under me, i’d sack you guys if you worked for me

Anyway, Agloco is STILL not launched yet It’s getting boring at this stage.. but it should be a launched soon*

*soon = soon meaning i don’t really have a clue when it will be launched

Tomorrow, i’ll post my final May earnings.. they’re not looking good without adsense

But May for me, has been a month I won’t forget. I left my job, got my €650 n95, got banned from adsense, passed my driving test and basically became a full time blogger..i also got flights for 4c to London, got reversed into by a van and got custom made BeerChief t-shirts

Financially, May will be my worst month online to date – but in general it’s been my best. I’ve taken this blog from a PR3 to a solid predicted PR5 and blogged with consistency i could never have dreamt of. Bar the odd day, i’m hitting 3/4 posts a day, which is a nice number… for a week i did average 5 a day which was a bit extreme and meant readers didn’t have a chance to digest material before it was knocked off the homepage.

My RSS readership continues to rise slowly, it’s now at 37 Feel free to subscribe to my RSS if you haven’t already

I now have a total of 32 in my Agloco network, i’ve got one or two more auction ads referrals.. JPEGr was accepted into TLA and sold one ad (expect more)…. i started a little adwords advertising campaign for this blog (which i must update you all on soon)…

Bar my Adsense banning, May was a superb month for me online and offline. Capped off by that driving test result. It’s only now that i’m beginning to realise I under -valued it a lot.. i suppose that attitude helped me relax. Not many 20 year old males pass first time with a total of 13 hours or less professional tuiton. I bought my car in may 06, but didn’t start driving it myself until august/september ‘06 (long story cut short – parents car was out of action so they had my car).. So i’ve actually only been driving about 10 months – it seems longer

Got an email from the Adsense team today, having appealed my ban…

It’s disappointing. But i wasn’t expecting top be getting back in, as it rarely happens. I still feel a warning and explaining to me what site broke the rules and how – would have been a better solution for both myself and adsense. But what’s done is done…

I won’t be taking this further – it would be fighting a lost cause. So all i can do now is keep testing other ad networks and see what’s second best
