September is over and October is here. That means it’s time to review how much money I made online in September 2007. And let me tell you, it’s a lot better from August’s earnings.
Google Adsense – I made more than twice as much this month with adsense! I’m glad I made more money, but I’m going to look for an alternative for a steadier, higher income.
Earnings: $8.64
August’s Earnings: $3.96
Reviews – No luck with SponsoredReviews at all! I did get paid for my PayPerPost review though.
Earnings: $20
August 2007′s Earnings: $5
Kontera – Pssh I gave up on Kontera. Who cares what I earned, it wasn’t enough!
Private Ad Sales – I was able to sell all four of my available sidebar ads spots that I decided to put up for $12 a piece.
Earnings (paypal fees subtracted): $45.70
August 2007′s Earnings: N/A
Expenses – In the beginning of the month I announced the winner of the slogan contest and the prize was $20.
Expenses: $20
September 2007′s Total Earnings:
$54.34
I really made $74.34 but because of the contest my balance is at 55 bucks. This is definitely my first “real” money maker month. Google’s lack of Pagerank updating is definitely holding me back, but I plan on getting around it. If I didn’t try, I wouldn’t truly be making money online.
OH MY GAWD!
On a side note, Congrats! It is nice that you have been able to make an income from blogging. It is the private ad sales that contributed the most. Continue like this, and you will be able to charge in 100s for a single ad per month like John. =)
I hope to be able to eventually! Thanks!
It looks like this money turned out pretty well. I know its stinks that pr hasnt updated but you might be able to tell people you have a good alexa rating. Here is a link to your alexa rating.

Yeah. And it’ll be so much better once I get below 100,000.
Nice job!
I made $40 in half an hour and $100 in 2 this month.
I’ve been spending a lot of time on my server so I haven’t had much time to work.
congrats though!
you still posting in DP, etc?
$40 doing what? Selling yourself?
LOL no. xD
I do php & vb coding for people.
I spent a dull half an hour decoding someone\’s encoding scripts (which the maker kindly sourcecopped for him).
I\’ve been looking into your rankings and backlinks, and your site has a very low amount of (if any) backlinks. This means that if google did update its pagerank, you would still be at zero.
Backlinks are what make your site grow. if you get a pagerank 4 site to link to your site, you\’ll have around a pagerank 1.
You need to advertise your site more, submit to directories, post in forums, or buy a little space on a website.
look at your backlinks versus my backlinks on a domain without a site on it.
The links don’t work. And I thought 2000+ backlinks were a lot? Not sure where you are getting your information from.
eh, my checker doesn’t work on your site.
lol sorry about that.
Hehe, no problem!
you should have a pagerank of 4 on the next update.
(lol embarrased)
If there ever is another pagerank update! *rolls eyes*
I read in a forum (reliable source i know!) that if the PR update happens then it will work in a different way to how we are used to. Whether it’s true or not, i don’t know. Could explain why it’s taken so long to update this time around though.
How many visitors did you get in september?
I heard that too.
Then all of our pagerank finding websites will be out of luck.
At least, until we crack it again.
871 with over 2 pageviews a visit. Not bad, but It’ll be better this month.
Woah, how’d you get your Alexa rank so high?? swollenpickles.com had 20,869 uniques in September and the current alexa rank is 110,000!
Wow, haha. I have no idea.
Blogs get low Ad earnings compared to content sites, but blogs get more traffic….
Best of luck
Thanks! And that’s why I’m trying to eliminate adsense completely.

Thanks for posting your earning report, wish you earn more next month!..lol. And sponsoredreview gives me $300/month alone, but still i m not approved at Pay-Per-Post.
Maybe you could try something different
Work more on content sites and divert traffic to them using blogs
This is a fabulous post. I do many of these things already, but look forward to implementing the others. The good resource should be brought in bookmarks. I agree with the majority of it, it seems to make sense. Keep blogging.
