Top July Commentators and Blog stats

Posted by admin On July - 31 - 2008

It is the end of the month and it is time to give a thank you to all bloggers that comment here, specially the top 5 commentators of the month:

1- Rado from Pizza Oven - He runs a site about traditional ovens and has a blog.

2- Agent 001 - He is a regular here at the blog and recently migrated is blog to a self hosted wordpress platform. Pay him a visit

3- Yan from Thoushallblog - a 3 month year old blog but already kicking ass :) Yan has a nice $2500 contest running. Did i say nice? Way better than that. $2500 is great! Want to get a chance? then read more

4- Halim Belajar - He loves SEO and has always something new to share with you

5- is the same has 4th :p

Btw, starting from today, the links in this blog are No Follow. There was no point on having do follow links in comments when the commentluv plugin was passing link juice to your blog.

Despite my decision on taking the do follow, you can get some link juice from CommentLuv plugin and Top Commentators list. ;)

Now, for the blog stats (not counting today).

July was a difficult month mainly because of lack of time, but it was also a month of investments.

Bloggervenue had a total of 2889 visitors with a total of 4539 page views, averaging 93 visitors/day, i have done better in this aspect.

i reached a peak of 79 rss subscribers (the day i reach 100 subscribers is yet to come :p)

Alexa Rank has reached a new record for this domain - 131,692, aiming forward to reach top 100,000 again ;)

page Rank went from 3 to 2

Traffic Sources:

  • Referring Sites 1,523.00 (52.72%)
  • Search Engines 1,122.00 (38.84%)
  • Direct Traffic 244.00 (8.45%)

I just love the traffic i get from search engines :)

Mainly my visitors come from Usa, Canada, United Kingdom, Portugal and India, totalling 88 countries!

July Income:

July BloggerVenue profitAdsense and other networks: $15- What the hell? i know i screwed my adsense revenue but i didn’t expect this result!

Affiliate Marketing: $0 - I haven’t done anything this month…

Reviews: $51,75

Private Ad sales: This was by far my best month in this aspect. Sold a total of $43 worth of ad space here. (and im not counting the review i did today about revresponse worth of $50)

So,i have made a total of $109,75 in July.

July Expenses:

Usfreeads Membership: $9.99;

Logo creation: $21,12;

Advertsing in several blogs: $41;

Bought a new domain name: $8,99

Bought some scripts: $20.

Total loss: $69.99

Total July Profit: $39,76

I was expecting to have a negative balance this month just like in my last report where i got a total loss of -$171!!! Although it is nothing extraordinary compared to most of my blogger friends, but still, i like to see these green numbers, and knowing that i don’t perform better because simply i don’t have the time.

So, how about you? have you already done your July income/expense report?

Why im quitting adgridwork

Posted by admin On December - 18 - 2007

A long time ago, i have mentioned an opportunity to have free text advertsing like google adsense or bidvertiser on your blogs. I have been using adgridwork on this blog, but unfortunately, with poor results.

Let me show you:
Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

As you can see i had almost 15000 displays of my ad on other websites, but only generated 15 clicks to my site! this represents a 0.07% CTR, it is very very low. IT’s a terrible waste of space in my honest opinion.

Although, i had poor results, it doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. You need totry, create a campaign with good words to cath the atention.

Oh, i almost forgot. I ask to adgridwork programmers to create more good looking banners. The ones that are available to us are a little bit ugly.
