Hmm… Before I started to write this post. I felt that this month earning will be less than previous month. Why? Because of Google AdSense. Google AdSense provides most of the Internet income. It dropped US$ 30 from previous highest level due to keywords pay rate was down. However, most of the other income sources increase. Make money online? Yes, I was busy with online stock trading lately. The earning is way better than these below but you need to take the risk when stock market goes down…

Internet income report for August 2009

Google AdSense – US$ 221.87 (RM 775.10)
ADSDAQ – US$ 62.26 (RM 217.50)
Nuffnang – US$ 42.86 (RM 148.48)
Infolinks – US$ 24.92 (RM 87.05)

Grand Total: US$ 351.91 (RM 1228.13)

I tried Innity Performance Network last month. Was not happy with the 2 weeks earning and support response. So I took the code down. After that, I received some ad campaign emails from Innity Media. Therefore, I put back the code back on 31 August. By the time I wrote, I discovered that the Innity backup ad function is not working. Hmm… Are you using Innity Performance Network? Do you face the same issue as I do?

I have been using Infolinks since March 2009. It is better than Kontera definitely. In another 2 months, I should be able to get my first Infolinks payment. It will take me more than 1 year in order to get Kontera payment.

How to optimize the Infolinks earning? Here is what I set in Infolinks Integration Guide.

• Set the Highlight Color same as the hyperlink of your website
• Double/Single Underline – Set as double underline
• I only allow 3-5 Max Allowed Number of Highlighted Links per Page
• Content Category – select the best category that match your website
• Use the On/Off HTML comment tags to show ads at your post content only

Here is the last 7 days earning with this setting…

Yes! Google AdSense broke USD 250 level. Another historical record high of USD 251.86. I like this kind of income source ~ passive income. All you need to do is writing article on your blogs, you can schedule the posts too. No time constraint like office work from 0800 to 1730. However, not everyone can make money online. Time is needed and the correct way of doing so is the most important. You will end up with nothing if you don’t know the correct path and waste lot of energy.

Internet income report for July 2009

Google AdSense – US$ 251.86 (RM 878.61)
ADSDAQ – US$ 59.58 (RM 207.84)
Nuffnang – US$ 32.87 (RM 114.68)
Infolinks – US$ 18.96 (RM 66.14)

Grand Total: US$ 363.27 (RM 1267.27)

Only the strong will survive. Every advertising company earning is increasing. But Nuffnang earning does not match to increasing traffic. I am thinking of dumping Nuffnang from the list. And will use existing Nuffnang ad placements (top header, before comment and sidebar) for direct advertiser. These locations are good and should bring more income to me if I sell them directly. What do you think?

Yeah… It’s payment period. I received payment from ADSDAQ and Google AdSense on the same day. This is my 8th ADSDAQ payment using PayPal. You can select Electronic Funds Transfer (US only), Pay by Check or PayPal as the payment method. I selected PayPal because it is the fastest method for me since I am not a US resident.

8th ADSDAQ payment

ADSDAQ from contextWeb is still the best performing CPM ads for me. Do you have it on your website? If no, hurry head to ADSDAQ website to sign up. No worry, it works fine with Google AdSense.

I got the best Malaysia bank to deposit US cheque rate from LowYat website.

Hong Leong Bank:
RM50 + RM10 (courier) + USD75 (Citibank Delaware)

Maybank::
RM25 + USD10 0.1% of the cheque (min: RM25.00, max: RM100). USD15 + unknown charge from the overseas bank

Public Bank:
0.1% of cheque amount (min: RM20, max: RM100) Postage: RM5 Stamp duty: RM0.15

HSBC:
RM11

EON Bank:
RM10

CIMB:
0.1% charge (min: RM5, max: RM100) Postage: RM5 Stamp duty: RM0.15
Note: You can deposit your check to the home branch only. But, you can mail your check to your BCB account’s home branch for bank-in.

RHB:
Postage: RM5.00 Stamp Duty: RM0.15 Commission: 0.1% of your cheque amount (minimum RM 10.00 and maximum RM 100.00)

Standard Chartered Bank:
0.01% of cheque amount OR min RM 50.

Bank Muamalat:
RM5

Alliance Bank:
~RM70

Southern Bank:
RM30 + RM0.15 stamp duty.

Some of the process fees are cheap while some are very expensive. I have 3 bank account from the list above, Public Bank, Maybank and HSBC. Among 3 of them, HSBC processing fee is the cheapest ~ RM11. Why do I need to find the cheapest rate? I have a USD 20.63 cheque to clear. And I don’t want to waste the money for bank fee.

I bank in the US cheque in HSBC. It took exactly 1 month to clear the cheque. And charged RM 11.65 as processing fee. Hmm… I still prefer Western Union or PayPal payment. It is lot faster and easier. No need to show up at bank to get the payment. And no processing fee also…
