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… Second Infolinks payment is in my hand now. I got it in my PayPal account now. It took me 3 months to reach the cash out limit. The first payment took 7 months. If nothing go wrong, the next one need only 2 months. It is what I call improvement and looking forward to get monthly payment from Infolinks.

Infolinks December 2009 payment

Infolinks pay rate is lower than Google AdSense but have higher click through rate. Maybe Infolinks does not look like an advertisement. What do you think?

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?

Blog also can keep fit? Yup. That’s what I do last few weeks. I am optimizing the blog layout in order to give better look for readers and revenue for me. I put up RSS feed email subscribe again at better location where reader can’t miss it. Got a few new subscribers after that. And removed underperformed Google AdSense link ads. There were lot of clicks but very less revenue generated from it. By removing, the clicks moved to Google AdSense Large Rectangle ads ~ gained a little bit more earning there. And Infolinks ads clicks increased too.

Never be afraid to try something new on your blog layout. We learn from mistakes and improve there.
