August Earnings and top 100 update

First of all i would like to apologize to all to my top commentators of August for not giving the rightful link love they deserve. I was unable to access the blog in these past days, and the table has been reset for the new month so i am unable to retrieve the stats… :(

Let’s start with the Top 100 update:

We’ve just had the first blog to reach the 1000 rss subscriber limit. :)

The top 10 for the month of August are:

  1. Wordpress Theme Designer
  2. Dat Money
  3. The Net Fool
  4. Yimto
  5. Blue Verse
  6. Blogger Noob
  7. Ian Fernando
  8. Brad Blogging
  9. The WWW Blog
  10. Unconventional Marketing Blog

Thanks to all that have been contacting me to add blogs to the list, and thanks to all that have been voting on their favourite blogs!

BloggerVenue stats from the previous month:

Google Analytics:

2,810 Visits (-79)

4,889 Page Views (+350)

Average 90 Visitors/day (-3)

Wordpress statistics plugin:

4643 Visits

25992 Page Views

It is always good to use different statistics programs. Despite de variations you see here.

RSS feed count: 68 (-11) - Bad month :(

Alexa Rank: 113,00 (was 131,692) - Will i make it to the top 100,00 again?

Compete Rank: 202,451 I’m still waiting for the Unique Visitors count to update.

August Earnings:

Reviews: $24 (-27,75) - this was a slow month for reviews from third party providers. I haven’t had the necessary time to give the proper attention to them.

Private Ad Sales: $45 (+$2)

RevResponse Payment: $50

Ebay Partner Network: $6,03

Affiliate Marketing: $5,60 Again a very week spot….

Total Earnings of August: 130,63

August Expenses:

Curiously i had only $1 buck of expense last month… lol

Ok, since i didn’t spent almost nothing, i can say that this was my best month so far with a total profit of $129,63.

I can only think what could i have done if i had done all things i have planned…..

So, what about you. How was the month of August for you?

P.S: As i have mentioned before, my ad rates will increase. Now a banner will cost $10/month. Links will cost $3, this is a $1 increase. After a check on the amount of clicks they have i decided to increase a bit. Still, the rate is low comparing to similar blogs.  Reviews will remain with the same price.

I’m sorry to hear that you blog was down for awhile Hugo, I certainly know how that feels :(

As for you blog’s earnings, I have found that a blog is like any other business in that it has its ups and downs.

BTW, I was just wondering how come you do not have any Adsense ads.

No problems but it does seem like a lost opportunity.

That’s pretty good stats regardless of whether they went down. Keep up the great work and you will continue to get better stats and make more money.

August was a busy month in general, and while some stats went up, overall traffic went down, essentially because I was neglecting promotion of the blog and instead working on the new look and contest which was just unveiled this should be quite the stellar month, I hope it is for bloggervenue as well.

probably your traffic went down because of the reason you mentioned, but august is a tipic month where almost every stats go a little bit down because of vacations.

September promises to be a freat month for you :)

Thank you for the addition. Might I suggest you add a Comment link at the bottom of your posts as well? Just an idea.

Congrats on the profits :) If you can make $100, you can make $10,000!

Don’t worry about the loss in rss subscribers. I am curious how did you calculate it. Did you subtract the highest number you received in august from the highest number you received in july?
