As usual, February is the shortest month of the year. Only 28 days for year 2010. And online income which counts by day also got affected. Anyway, my blogs’ income is stable. Or should I say traffic. I took 1 week off during Chinese New Year holidays to Johor, Malaysia. Did not blog anything at all. However, the daily traffic and earning does not reduce much (or at all). Traffic was low (dropped 15%) on 1st day of Chinese New Year as most of us were celebrating the big event including me.

Internet income report for February 2010

Google AdSense – US$ 220.05 (RM 739.52)
Innity – US$ 143.36 (RM 481.81)
Nuffnang – US$ 93.86 (RM 315.45)
ADSDAQ – US$ 74.52 (RM 250.43)
Infolinks – US$ 37.27 (RM 125.25)

Grand Total: US$ 569.06 (RM 1912.46)

I told myself long time ago. Write 1 article at least each day. I manage to do so on Pretty Girl 2u only. Why? No brain is needed on PrettyGirl2u articles. I just need to find, edit the girls’ photos and schedule to post them. So I get lot of money from it? Nope, easy tasks == low return.

Writing quality, current trend, popular keywords articles do help to bring more traffic. For example, Dell UltraSharp U2410 Review post. I knew that I am going to get some traffic based on this review. So I bought this monitor on September 2009. By the way, it is not cheap ~ RM1799. 200+ page views in the first 2 weeks. Around 150 page views after that and getting 100 page views nowadays. Finally, total 21,986 page views as at now.

It took me several days to write this article. I need to run lot of testings. But it is worth the effort based on the return. However, you will get the same traffic or even more sometime with less effort if your keywords are matched to the current searching trend. Never stop get updated with latest info and knowledge. You will get more in return when you are in the front end of the technology.

Yeah… The first month of year 2010. How is the Internet income? Oh no… It dropped a lot. As expected, most of the earning back to the normal rate. No more holidays season. ADSDAQ earning fall back to normal from turbo mode and payment was delayed. JayceOoi.com traffic increased some but the earnings are not. Most of the advertising companies’ ad inventories are low. But look at the bright side, Infolinks is not the last anymore. It overtook ADSDAQ…

Internet income report for January 2010

Google AdSense – US$ 224.28 (RM 760.19)
Innity – US$ 107.35 (RM 363.87)
Nuffnang – US$ 80.45 (RM 272.69)
Infolinks – US$ 70.09 (RM 237.57)
ADSDAQ – US$ 69.71 (RM 236.28)

Grand Total: US$ 551.88 (RM 1870.60)

Getting RM 2,000 per month is hard. Getting RM 3,000 is even harder. How much visitors per day should I need in order to get RM 4,000 per month? I checked Google Analytics traffic and the earning for the pass few months.

RM 500 == 500 visitors
RM 800 == 1,500 visitors
RM 1,200 == 2,300 visitors
RM 1,900 == 3,300 visitors
RM 4,000 == ?? visitors

So RM 4,000 only needs around 7,000 visitors, right? Not exactly but it is near I think. The earning does not come in this way. Google AdSense and Infolinks depend on keyword rate, CTR, articles and visitors behavior while Innity, Nuffnang and ADSDAQ depend on ad inventories. To be safe, my target…

RM 5000 == 10,000 visitors.

Here come another question… How long will I need in order to get 10,000 visitors per day?

Bravo… Bravo to Innity. It managed to contribute the highest income last month. Thanks for its higher pay rate Site Take Over ad. Check out Nuffnang vs Innity post to find out which local ad company provides better earning. Or you can see it here too.

You must have read lot of Nuffnang vs Advertlets posts. However, you can’t read much about Nuffnang vs Innity. So far, I found one entry at Google during the time of writing this. Who will be the winner in the end? That’s the question that I wanted to know the answer since I started to publish Innity ads. By the way, Nuffnang is a blog advertising community while Innity is an online premium performance advertising network. Both of them are not exactly the same. This article covers the advertising revenue only. So all the advantages of Nuffnang freebie like movie ticket, gathering events and Innit Nuffnang will not be included. Okay, let’s the battle of these 2 titans begin.

Nuffnang vs Innity

Site Requirements
The first thing before publish ad for any company, you need to fulfill their requirements. Only JayceOoi.com qualified to publish Innity ads while spBlogger.com and PrettyGirl2u.com failed. On the other hand, Nuffnang accepted all 3 of them. Nuffnang requires minimum 600 unique visitors per month. Innity requires minimum 3,000 unique visitors and 15,000 Pageviews per month, quality content and updated frequently.
Winner – Nuffnang

Ad System
Nuffnang has 3 ad types (Leaderboard, large rectangle and skyscraper) while Innity has a lot like site take over, bottom up, in-text, balloon, button banner… Both of them support CPM and CPC ads while Innity has extra CPE and CPA. In Nuffnang, you have the ability to select what type of ads to display. Choose to display charity ads, default ads, global CPC ads or minimize ads when there is no CPM campaign running. Innity has better ad system ~ Alternate Ad Management which allow you to publish other advertising company ads like Google AdSense, ADSDAQ as backup when there are no campaign assigned. You can also reject those low paying rate campaigns with Innity latest Manage Campaign function. Nuffnang lost this section because it will still display a small ‘ads by nuffnang’ image when no campaign assigned.
Winner – Innity

Payment
Yeah… Everyone loves payment time. Both of Nuffnang and Innity have RM50 minimum cash out limit and paid within 30 days (note – 30 days for Nuffnang Glitterati bloggers while 60 days for ordinary bloggers). Both of them pay in cheque while you can get direct bank in payment from Innity. Nuffnang charges RM 1 transaction fee on each cash out. And you need to request cash out manually while Innity in auto mode. I received lot of payments from Nuffnang and none of them delay but the first Innity payment delayed. Too bad that Innity delayed the 1st payment. Not sure 2nd payment will be delayed again or not. Else I have a clear winner.
Winner – Tie

Support
Got a question to ask? But nobody answer it? I faced slow response from Innity. But their support improves from time to time. No issue from Nuffnang so far.
Winner – Tie

Revenue
The most important part of this article ~ advertising revenue. Based on my past 3 months Internet income, Innity bought RM1222.25 while Nuffnang gave me RM1044.21. Note – Innity income comes from 1 blog only while Nuffnang from 3 blogs. And JayceOoi.com contributes 85% traffic among total 3 of them. Therefore, you need to minus 15% out of Nuffnang revenue in order to compare fairly with Innity. Clearly, you should know who is the winner here…
Winner – Innity

Things to know
I am a Glitterati status blogger for more than 2 years and still am on the time of writing this. Nuffnang revenue will be lowered more than 125% for ordinary status. As Glitterati status blogger, you get higher pay rate and will be assigned more campaign. Nuffnang assigns campaign based on individual blog (if not mistaken). Therefore, some low traffic/visible blogs will not be assigned any campaign to run. As for Innity, JayceOoi.com is categorized as technology channel. Innity assigns campaign based on channel. So you will get the same campaigns assigned if you are in the same channel. No need to worry no campaign assigned.

Conclusion
Innity is the winner. The revenue speaks for itself. As I mention before, this article cover advertising revenue only. Nuffnang community is big and has lot of blogger events. But Innity bring more revenue. Which one should I choose? I leave the question for you to answer.

Yeah… ADSDAQ revenue is getting better and better each month. By the way, Innity is good in figure only. I still did not receive any payment from Innity yet. Based on its FAQ, I should get the September and October payments by now. Example, for 16th April – 30th April revenue, paid within 30 days after 30th April (i.e. by 30th May). Hmm… When can I receive Innity payment?

Internet income report for November 2009

Google AdSense – US$ 207.78 (RM 697.30)
ADSDAQ – US$ 157.61 (RM 528.93)
Innity – US$ 117.92 (RM 395.77)
Nuffnang – US$ 73.36 (RM 246.20)
Infolinks – US$ 49.50 (RM 166.12)

Grand Total: US$ 606.17 (RM 2034.32)

So far, Google AdSense, ADSDAQ, Nuffnang and Infolinks’ payments are on time. They don’t ever delay any payment before. Will Innity become like Advertlets? Oh no… I have more than RM1000 in Innity. Help!!!
