Earning Revenue From Your Website - Week 3
I'm writing this one today because I am leaving for Christmas holidays on Friday. So my week isn't over, but it is definitely more positive than last week in which I recorded $0 in earnings.
So far this week I have earned $2.56. Also, I have trackers on my ads to see how well they do. Similar to what I have read on other sites, my large 300X250 ads that are inline with the article summaries are where all my money came from.
From the advice of a friend, I started using a free web tracker service. This is a must if you are trying to develop your site. It gives me an analysis on page views, unique visitors, returning visitors, and information on how people are surfing my site. I didn't have a clue who was going to it (if anybody), but I was able to see a few different people that had read my articles (and which ones).
I can officially say that my revenue did not come from friends and family, but legitimate internet traffic.
I also started to add more pictures to my blogs. I didn't want pictures to be chewing up my bandwidth, but I wanted my content to be the best it can be and pictures help that.
I am also still concerned about Google's indexing. They still have only listed my homepage in the index. I know longer have dynamic links and I have a regularly updated sitemap, which they have redownloaded. If you understand why they have not listed my other links, post a comment.
I have found several sites discussing techniques to build links, google rankings, and ultimately more traffic. I am going to continue building content and in January, my goal will be to try each one of these techniques (if they are suitable) and see where I can take my traffic levels to.
