Alas, in October I saw a little bit of a decline. I’m afraid I didn’t do a whole lot. I comissioned 20 400 word articles at a cost of 1 cent per word. I’ve gotten 10 of them and posted them to my health and fitness blog. I also authora another 10 or so myself and got those poasted as well.

I did some link building through Lexorsoft, main social bookmarking and a few web 2.0 and forum account creations. Toward the end of the month, I did the 10 free blogs thing for 2 of my sites; now I need to go back and build links to those blogs.

My coffee site dropped out of Google. It was a bittersweet realtionship anyway. I was getting more traffic than ever, but since the disappearance of the free coffee maker offer, my revenue was crap. If that offer was still running, and with the traffic I was getting, I know I would have been doing $300+ a day.

Every cloud has a silver lining however. Right when my site dropped out of the Google results it showed up at #2 in Bing/Yahoo for a one-word term. I’m getting just as much traffic now as I was when I was 7/8/9 on Google. I just wish that free coffee maker offer was out there!

I reworked the landing page for the coffee site and made Adwords prominent. Yesterday (3 Novemebr) I did $50 in Adsense (all combined). I did $33 on the coffee site alone! So thjat’s a bit of a consolation, although I’d rather have the free coffee maker offer.

Here’s the results for October 2011:

My expenses remained pretty much the same. A slight reduction in content creation because I found a cheaper provider.

So my total income for the month was $1,116.85. That’s down slightly from September, mainly because my As Seen On PC income was half. I lost traffic on that site too (from Google).
