600+ clicks over four sites and I’ve yet to make a commission from Azoogle. But I think I know why, and if I’m right - it’s not bad news.
I’m currently running it on four sites: this one, ChillyCool, Project B-2 Bomber, and Project Mai Tai. I’m running mostly the exact same ads on each site. [...]

I just spent a couple of days putting ads on my sites. I paid $10 for the Phplinkdirectory mods at Linkforever and installed the banner rotation one on the directory here and at ChillyCool - they were well worth the price. If you install them, be very careful following the instructions, especially for modifying the [...]

Last month was less than thrilling. I think it’s mostly because I’m trying to get away from ads and branch out into CPA and affiliate stuff more. I’m crippling what had been working for me to try new things.

As for traffic, [...]

I’ve lately been working toward giving Azoogle a serious chance. I’ve installed ad rotating plugins on a couple of sites and started running various banners. I tell you one thing: there’s no quicker way to see what products your visitors are interested in. Even if they’re not buying, you can see from the clicks at [...]

I made around $275 again this month.  This time with no special efforts, except one PayPerPost post ($15).  No ReviewMe, no nothing like that.  This income came from:

AdBrite
Selling regular links on my directories

Already for this month, I’ve got $266 from TLA.  I should earn $25 from AdBrite by the end of the month.  That’s [...]

I was telling an offline friend about Project 2168 the other day. She knows nothing about affiliate marketing or any of this stuff. I told her I planned to increase my online earnings by about $500/month within a few months with this new project I had going.
“I could never do something like that,” [...]

I’ve got all my hosting and theming stuff done now. I took a good look at all my sites and realized a few things.

A sort of link-cloaking thing I had going on two affiliate sites was broken. No wonder I wasn’t getting sales. I dumped it and went back to the naked [...]

On January 19, I posted about where I was at and where I was going, and how I was going to get there.  Basically, it boiled down to post, post, post.  I’ve got some blogs with good potential, if only I posted a minimum of once a day, with three days being a much better [...]
