So far, March has been an average month. It started out disastrous as my server went down for 5 hours and my biggest site JPEGr was offline for 36 hours. My host (dreamhost) then throttled JPEGr which effectively killed the site. Only now am i getting around to transferring it to a new host with more bandwidth.
So i expect the 2nd half of March to be much better. Anyway, earnings so far (14 days in) are at $28 in adsense, $10 in text link ads. Combined total of $38 for 2 weeks. That averages $3/day. So multiplied by the 31 days in March, the predicted total revenue is $93. Still just shy of my $100/month target.
That said, i’ve just put new auction ads on JPEGr which will hopefully bring in a few dollars.
I’m desperate to put text-link-ads on JPEGr as i feel they’ll sell. This blog is also starting to gain weight traffic and links wise so i’ll probably use text-link-ads here too, although not for another month or two.
Finally, google pagerank update is just around the corner now and I expect all of my sites to increase in PR. That will push up all of my sites value, plus add a few dollars onto text link prices.
So March is probably going to be my last month under $100.
All of this is assuming roykeane.net, sharethegame.com etc.. don’t sell. To be honest i’d be happy if they don’t sell now as i know for certain the PR value will increase.
