July month proved to be one more consistent month like other 6 months of 2008, taking my money meter $16,330 within 7 months and it already reached to by 15th August 2008. It’s really been a motivation for me and hope it would become yours too.

August month have been proving good and bad, both for me. Bad in the aspect of availability of time, so I am inviting some nice blog plugs to spread useful information related to any topic on this blog. Good in terms of sudden flow of blog review orders. We have seen some of the companies are contacting us directly for detailed review on this blog. We apologize but you might see more reviews in this month than usual - but we would balance them with the flood of interesting SEO, traffic and make money posts as well.

In July month, Yahoo search marketing coupons again worked very well for us by adding good amount of discount to advertisers and some affiliate benefits to our money meter as well. Yahoo seems to be helping hand for both of us, advertisers and publishers.

We were happy to maintain (rather add a little) our ongoing monthly revenue and hopefully would achieve $25000 target by end of this year.

Here are some details on where we did good job and bad job:

June 2008 earning breakup.

• Private Sales like reviews, textlinks, banners: $623.72 [Not much progress as we almost had stopped accepting any paid reviews in July like June month]. As mentioned in the June earnings post, matched flat rate advertising is helping us to add up in our monthly revenues.  
• Google Adsense Revenue: $344.60 [Not much difference from last month, it's almost the same]
• CPC programs like YPN, Adbrite, Infolinks: $448.52 [Good increase seen in this area from last month]. We have removed Kontera from our arsenal of CPC / in-text advertising programs and added Infolinks in-text advertising due to their better revenue sharing with publishers. Read the post for more details on infolinks program.
• Affiliate Sales, Misc checks: $700.17 [Great going in affiliate sales area and as mentioned above the major reason is YSM affiliate  program with the Yahoo £50 Credit Voucher contributing well by helping advertisers to get Free credit for Yahoo search marketing campaign.

Total Earnings of June 2008: $2117.01

This is better than June month and again the graph moved slightly upwards. At the end of July month, the money meter shows $16330.44. I am hoping that the upward journey would continue until December 2008 - helping me achieve my goal.

Best Advertising Deals

We have two 125×125 banners on both sides at top, that are in three banners in rotation. But if you observe there are only one and two advertisers respectively, so you have a great chance to grab the place for only $10 per month. You would get benefit of two rotating banners instead of three if all the ad slots are not filled and that’s also for only $10 pm. Even if all three ad slots are filled, it’s not a bad deal anyways. Dedicated 125×125 slots are also available for $30.

One more good news: After page rank update at the end of July month, we saw that our homepage page rank did not move from PR3 any further but to our surprise, our internal pages pagerank has shot up to PR4 and PR5. More details on how many pages of this blog have pagerank and what all PR - is mentioned at the internal pagerank page that is available through header navigation. This would help you to decide if you would like to buy site wide textlink with us for only $30 pm.

Increase in Alexa Rank

Last month this blog stood at around 75000 rank in Alexa, we have seen increase in Alexa this month and now the blog stands at 63000 rank. We are hoping to reach Top 50000 very soon. Let’s help each other to increase traffic by exchanging reviews. We are waiting for 2 more reviews to come up with a link love review post.
