Internet income report for July 2010

Google AdSense – US$ 414.39 (RM 1283.78)
Vibrant – US$ 166.23 (RM 514.98)
ADSDAQ – US$ 131.79 (RM 408.28)
Innity – US$ 93.34 (RM 289.19)
Nuffnang – US$ 19.71 (RM 61.07)

Grand Total: US$ 825.46 (RM 2557.30)

Besides lesser advertisers, USD is getting even lower this month with 1 USD == 3.0980 RM. It is heading to RM 3.00 which mean US earning is getting lesser too.

By the way, blogs’ traffic is almost the same for the past 3 months. Around 150K visits and 300K pageviews for JayceOoi.com. Click here to see details at DoubleClick Ad Planner. Working hard to increase it but still the same. I think I need to post more popular keywords article to attract more traffic.

Internet income report for June 2010

Vibrant – US$ 509.39 (RM 1607.38)
Google AdSense – US$ 413.99 (RM 1306.34)
ADSDAQ – US$ 288.55 (RM 910.51)

Innity – US$ 25.82 (RM 81.48)

Grand Total: US$ 1326.81 (RM 4186.75)

Hmm… USD is getting lower this month with 1 USD == 3.1555 RM. Earning from US advertising is poorer. But on the bright side, I can purchase cheaper stuff from US directly. It’s time to get some photography / video gears from US.

The 27th Nuffnang cheque

I lost count how many Nuffnang cheques that I received. I am getting payment every month (if I remember to cash out it). Hehe… I just counted. This is my 27th Nuffnang cheque. The first cash out request was on 29 October 2007 13:22. Time flies…

Only the strong will survive. Nuffnang vs. Advertlets. Definitely, Nuffnang is the clear winner. Why? I am a happy blogger who getting monthly Nuffnang payment. But a blogger still fighting hard to get his hard earn money from Advertlets. Check it out here. Anyone can help him?

ADSDAQ performed great and hit historical high again. Infolinks also did a very good job by almost doubling the earning from previous month. However, Innity was falling apart with only RM0.59 earning…

Grand Total: US$ 1572.80 (RM 5046.36)

Thanks God. And many thanks to the advertising companies that support me all the while. YES!!! I broke US$ 1,500 and RM 5,000 level (it will take sometimes to hit this record again since that Celcom advertorial only come once in 2 years). Writing more quality posts, increasing US traffic helped a lot to improve this Internet income earning. And choosing the correct advertising company is important too. You don’t want waste your layout space to show those under-performing ads, right?

I actually getting lesser Google AdSense payment last month due to weak USD @ 1 USD = RM 3.147. Luckily, USD rebound to around RM 3.3080 level today. That’s around 5% increase for all the US earning.

Innity earning is falling behind. I get nothing from Innity for the last 30 days due to new Innity rule ~ All campaign dates are subject to change. Our media operations team will continuously optimize campaigns, in order to ensure the best results for the advertisers. Therefore some campaigns might become unavailable to your account.

What the heck? Why there is xxx.xx in the earning? I received comments that this earning report encourages some of you. And I need encourage from you all too now. It is very simple to show your support. Just like my Facebook spBlogger.com Page beside. I will reveal the earning when I get more than 50 fans. Come on, show some supports. Ask your friends to support me too.

Updated ~ Received 10 fans support after 1 month. Many thanks to them. I guess that I can stop publishing income report since not much people would like to see it. Anyway, I reveal the earning…

Traffic is getting better. And most of them are coming from US. Therefore, US advertising companies’ earning increased. And well done to Innity which perform well and spot the 2nd place. Err… Google AdSense and Infolinks hit the highest earning but USD to RM is only 1 to 3.2330. Therefore, total earning in Ringgit Malaysia is not that high. But it is all times high also.

Internet income report for March 2010

Grand Total: US$ 792.63 (RM 2562.57)

I started posting my Internet income report since May 2008. This report is the 24th among them. And this report is not to show off how much that I earn but to encourage people that you can make money online too. And the advertising companies that can bring you more income. However, some people sabotage my Google AdSense by generating lot of fraud clicks. This let me down…

Let me know. Should I continue to post Internet income report? Does this post help you to keep blogging as encouragement?

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.

Okay, not every visitor will come to your website directly. For example, a visitor translated your website using Google Translate. Google AdSense does not detect your website address but Google Translate address. Therefore, the earning is not counted there. Besides Google AdSense, Nuffnang also use that method to display its ads. But we can’t do anything here.

Funny Chinese translation

I already set Google AdSense back to Allow any site to display ads for my account. Let’s see the earning will be up or not…

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?

Internet income report for December 2009

Innity – US$ 243.79 (RM 825.73)
Google AdSense – US$ 209.01 (RM 707.91)
ADSDAQ – US$ 143.67 (RM 486.61)
Nuffnang – US$ 69.04 (RM 233.86)
Infolinks – US$ 67.10 (RM 227.26)

Grand Total: US$ 732.61 (RM 2481.37)

I changed blog layout last month. Removed Google AdSense leaderboard ad. The earning is about the same. But Infolinks earning is getting better. Will continue to improve the layout and earning.

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.

Nuffnang Analytics

Hehe… The new Nuffnang Analytics is not perfect. The chart title is always “This Week’s Visits: ” no matter which period you select from today, this week, last week and last month.

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!!!

1. How do you know the Innity ads whether it’s CPM or CPC running on your blog?
Nope. Innity report does not show the type of ads that running on your blog. Innity team will send you email when there is a campaign running on your blog. It maybe CPC, CPM, Site Take Over and others.

2. I found that when I put Nuffnang ads as backup ads in ADSDAQ, the preview is getting some error. The error message say make sure your blog ads is putting correctly. Or because I don’t get any Nuffnang ads while preview.
Make sure you put the correct Nuffnang ad code. For your info, Nuffnang ads only work on the domain that you register with Nuffnang. Therefore, it is okay to see “Error matching blog to blogger entry. If you are the owner of this blog, please check that there is no typo in your blog address and that you have pasted the code from the Add Ads page correctly.” error like below.

3. ADSDAQ, I put the AskPrice for 728X90 = $1.50, and 300X250 = $1.50. Is it too high or too low?
There is no right and wrong on how much AskPrice to set. Personally, $1.50 is the minimum that I set. Some ads are $3.00 and $5.00 for the best Google AdSense spot ~ Large rectangle (Just below article title). ADSDAQ earning depends on US traffic. More US traffic == more revenue.

That’s all for now. Let me know if you have any question. I will try my best to help. Cheer.

Internet income report for October 2009

Google AdSense – US$ 224.47 (RM 764.32)
Nuffnang – US$ 160.76 (RM 547.42)
Innity – US$ 157.46 (RM 536.18)
ADSDAQ – US$ 117.04 (RM 398.52)
Infolinks – US$ 45.28 (RM 154.17)

Grand Total: US$ 705.01 (RM 2400.61)

Innity Performance Network is a bright star (when I get the payment. It delayed September payment. Else I should get it by now. Hopefully, it won’t happen on October payment as well). No payment (or delay payment) makes me thinking of Advertlets. Advertlets is still not paying bloggers nowadays. And getting payment from Advertlets is a tough task. You need to write blog post to ask for your payment like I did. Else you will end up getting nothing.

Remember… More traffic will bring more revenue.

Traffic == Income

Yup. The more traffic that you get from your websites, the higher income you will get. I am on turbo mode early this month when ADSDAQ performed extremely well (for few days only) and turbo mode again this few days when Innity Performance Network is crazy also. Woo… I am a little bit tired but happy with the result.

JayceOoi.com weekly traffic from Nuffnang

Getting 5000 visitors per day is still a very far way to go. Maybe I set a too high target already. 3000 daily visitors should not be a problem on JayceOoi.com next birthday. Hmm… Need to work hard to reach there.

2 days left on October. On my daily checking on revenue (yup. I do daily checking on online income), October should be the highest income month so far. Nuffnang and Innity are fighting very strong. But Innity might not able to beat Nuffnang due to less CPM ads show already. And it still has RM100 to go. A very tough fight indeed. By the way, both of them beat ADSDAQ. Wow…

However, November is another story. Nuffnang don’t have much earning to bring over. Innity should win Nuffnang easily if performance is maintained. Innity == a bright new star? Yes, when I get the first payment.

Internet income report for September 2009

Google AdSense – US$ 190.22 (RM 649.69)

Infolinks – US$ 31.94 (RM 109.09)

Grand Total: US$ 469.66 (RM 1604.23)

Focus on getting more traffic not revenue. This is what I always say lately. Yup, it is true. More traffic will bring more revenue.

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 tested Innity Performance Network with 3 common ads ~ rectangle, leaderboard and skycraper ads. Played them around for 2 weeks. The earning for first 5 days looks good. It had some CPM ads running. However, there are same ads running on the sixth day but no paid impressions at all. After that, just a little 62 paid impressions on 8th and 1 paid impression on 10th. I started to wonder how Innity Performance Network system works…

The is a backup ad function in Innity which it called Alternate Ad Management. It should display your backup ad when there are no Innity targeted ads running. However, it does not work properly (did not display my backup ad) and have no option to turn off CPC ads. Who want to have image CPC ad? The click rate is way too low. I like ADSDAQ, it will only display its CPM ads and display your backup ad while no in house ads. I want to have CPM image ads only. CPC is for text ads.

Another thing that I don’t like most ~ no reply when ask question. I submitted a support ticket asking ‘Why no Paid Impressions on 10 August 2009′ on 11 August 2009. I resubmitted again with Innity contact us page the next day. No reply at all until now. Same like Advertlets ~ no reply when asking for payment. Only reply when you blog about it. Come on, please be a little bit professional.

Anyway, here is the past 2 weeks Innity Performance Network earning that I have. You make the call, should you use Innity Performance Network?

Innity Performance Network earning

Innity requirement is not low. Below are the 2 of the requirements.

• Websites must have a minimum of 10,000 Pageviews per month on average.
• Websites must have a minimum of 2,500 Unique Visitors per month.

spBlogger.com did not fulfill these 2 requirements. Therefore, I submitted PrettyGirl2u.com that had 7,596 visits and 51,618 pageviews and got rejected. I think that I should submit JayceOoi.com that has 53,057 visits and 88,654 pageviews. But I cannot do so because of JayceOoi.com is getting most revenue from Nuffnang. I cannot dump Nuffnang so something that I do not know, right?

Advertlets and Nuffnang did not reject PrettyGirl2u.com. Why Innity rejected?

Dear Ooi,

Thank you for your application to join Innity Performance Network. After a few rounds of review by our team, we have found that your site now does not yet meet our network criteria. Therefore, we are unable to accept you into our network. We do believe in the potential of your site to grow substantially over the years and we are still open to future cooperation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Anyone is using Innity Performance Network? How is the earning compare to Nuffnang and Advertlets?

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?

What is the AskPrice that you set?
There are several sizes ads that you can select from. The AskPrice that I put are $1.50, $3.00 and $5.00. Each of them have different fill rate. Just play around the AskPrice to get the best earning for your site.

What is the fill rate that you got?
Oh, I have around 5% fill rate only. Putting high AskPrice will lower the fill rate.

Any other questions you want to ask about ADSDAQ?

Well… Nuffnang was the only one that contributed lesser income due to less advertisement assigned to 3 of my blogs. 5xmom managed to get RM 3000 per month from Nuffnang. Why I cannot? Hmm…

More and more bloggers nowadays. Some of my friends also involve in blogging actively lately. Hopefully, all of us will earn more online income. I like to earn online income as passive income because I still can earn money even without doing anything. Some bloggers manage to maintain its earning even without writing anything for months. That’s cool…

ADSDAQ still need to have another 4 payments to get certified as Good Make Money Tool. Nuffnang was the first and followed by Google AdSense.

Have you get your ADSDAQ payment yet?
