Yes, it's February already, and as this seems to be something that allows people to judge if this blog a success, and is entirely objective, here are the figures for January...
- 2210 visits, up from 1462 last month (a 53.9% improvement on last month) but down from 2262 in January 2009 (a 2.3% fall)
- £0.73 of advertising revenue, up from £0.40 last month (a 82.5% improvement!) but down from £1.58 in January 2009 (a 53.8% improvement).
I'm now expecting to qualify for my first cheque from Google Adsense in February 2012...
Maybe you should put up a tipjar instead of having adverts? See: http://tipit.to/
ReplyDeleteIf I had a blog and the adverts were getting me chickenfeed I would take them down, because Google ads look a bit ugly IMHO.
After all, in January you only earned 0.07 pence (not pounds!) per visit...
Clarification: when I mentioned January in my comment I meant January 2009 (the month with the highest advert income of the ones you mentioned).
ReplyDeleteNiklas,
ReplyDeleteI see your point, although having set up Google Adsense, it requires no work on my part. Indeed, the advertising revenue from my other blog has so far covered 15% of this year's precept increase for the Parish Council.
Besides, it may be a very small amount, but one day, if this blog makes it into the top 100 political blogs (one should be ambitious), I might actually make some money...
Which is your other blog? I had no idea you had two.

Does that mean that the precept increase was tiny or that your other blog is very successful? ;)
