I Need Discipline

January 2012 Blog Income Report

Posted: 01 Feb 2012 02:09 PM PST

2012 hasn’t exactly started the way that I wanted it to. A quick eye over the stats in this blog income report will tell you that I didn’t concentrate on my online dealings in January as I was hit with some personal problems. I don’t want to highlight them all here but it involved the end of a two year relationship and the loss of my first child who was aborted at 3 months.

People who know me will tell you that I’m a tough son of a bitch and I’ll keep fighting no matter what people throw at me.

And without further ado let’s get on with the meat of the matter.

Page Impressions & Visitor Count

The unique visitor count for January stands at 2,456, which is a huge decrease of 1,060 from the month of December.

The page impression count for January stands at 5,038, which is a big decrease of 1,478 from the month of December.

This means that each unique visitor looked at 1.68 pages.

My bounce rate has dropped from 67.89% to 71.74.

I don’t think anyone will be surprised to see I have dropped a lot of traffic after what I have had to deal with offline in January. Hopefully when I get my head together I’ll be able to put this right again in February or maybe March.

Adbrite = $0.56 (+$0.37)
ContextWeb (AdsDaq) = $0.28 (-$0.74)
Fidelity Media (AdJuggler) = $0.29 (-$0.02)
Passive Income = $17.24 (+$0.23)
Private Advertising – $215.00 (+$210.00)
Private Writing = $380.00 (-$66.15)
Reviews = $103.85 (-$25.65)
Smowtion = $0.64 (+$0.35)
TLA = $4.00 (+/- $0.00)
UnderDog = $0.01 (-$1.15)
Zapunited = $0.20 (New)

Total = $722.09 (+$116.84)

- ZapUnited is a new network that I am trying out.

- I hit a bit of good fortune with my private advertising in January. I really hope that is not a fluke.

- Half of the private writing amount came from some clients I’d done work for several weeks ago, nice to see they FINALLY got round to paying me.
