Just a quick update on my October earnings – see my earnings page.
October started slowly but ended a bit surprising – my best month ever. That’s despite losing my best site in August so not too bad. Most of the gain came from Amazon where I have one strong site. My other okay Amazon site appears to have been pandalized in the October hit and I’m not going to mess with it for now.
My effort in building Squidoo lens in August and September has also worked out well and is giving me a boost. As long as the big G plays nice for 2 more months I should see some nice returns in November and December.
That’s really all I want to say. I had an extremely unproductive week last week because I let some personal stuff weigh me down but I am hoping to work hard next week to make up for it and prepare for the Christmas rush. Things have been so rocky lately with the SERPs that it is difficult for me to get excited about the next two months but things look good for now.
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Woohoo on the earnings!!
You and me are on the same rollercoaster ride right now. My November is starting off really slow this year but I’m hoping it picks up soon.
C’mom people, whip out those credit cards and start buying stuff

I’m starting to see some extra traffic coming in – hopefully it continues to go up.
Hope things pick up for you soon!

That’s awesome, Carrie – how has AdSense done? You mentioned Amazon being a clear winner, have you seen an increase in your AdSense as well?
Solid earnings, and good news – sorry to hear about your personal downer(s). I would say, “Don’t let it get to you” but I’d be a hypocrite.

Oh, adsense is way down. I just have it on an old site that isn’t a moneymaker along with hubpages and infobarrel (which are almost nothing). When I move the site that was deindexed to a new domain I will put adsense on but that will be a few months.

Ah, so you’ve increased your income by mainly affiliate marketing. Do you think you’ll focus more on that end of things or do you plan on doing both for the long-term?

Yeah, the increase is all Amazon and that will peter out after the Christmas rush.
Long term I’ll do both for diversity and b/c adsense is most effective for informational sites (for me, anyway). Right now I have very little diversity as far as sites and monetization which makes me feel very vulnerable. I’m hoping to fix that in 2012.
