I Need Discipline

September 2012 Blog Income Report

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 03:04 AM PDT

September was the month that contained my birthday, what did I do to celebrate? I spent the entire day working of course. That's right, no visits to the local pub for me or tales of debauchery with friends. I'm glad I did work the day because I don't think I would have achieved the numbers I did otherwise.

Visitor Count & Page Impressions

The unique visitor count for September stands at 1,258 which is an increase of 473 from the month of August.

The page impression count for September stands at 4,409, which is a big increase of 2,293 from the month of August.

This means that each unique visitor looked at 2.59 pages.

My bounce rate has dropped like a stone from 62.93% to 52.06%.

- I am very pleased and relieved to see that I have finally managed to halt the slump in traffic. There were a couple of days where my traffic spiked nicely to over 200 unique visits a day but Google Analytics wouldn't tell me where they came from ("Not Provided").

Total = $784.50 (+$24.63)

- Reviews is now going by the name of Sponsored Posts.

- CPMFun is a new network that I have been toying about with this month, their payout is rather high at $100 but they don’t seem to be displaying any dodgy ads yet. I will be replacing ZapUnited with them.

- I have set up a savings account and will be depositing some funds into it every month, I will be including the monthly interest into my income report as the money I’m putting in will come from online earnings.

- I am pleased to see that I made an increase in almost every area in September, I am slowly inching my way to that $800 goal.
