September Earnings and an Update

Carrie — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 11:23:06 +0000

My September earnings are posted and aren’t terrible. Despite losing my best earning site in August, I still managed to break the $1000 mark. In a very unusual showing of restraint, I have not gone back and calculated what my earnings could have been [...] Related posts:

My Summer Recap

Carrie — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 15:01:42 +0000

I decided to go back and look at the post I made before the start of the summer and see how things actually turned out.

Here is what I said in June:

I hate to sound lazy and disconnected, but I had decided to take a break from IM activities to work on some [...] Related posts:

May Earnings Report

Carrie — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 12:35:33 +0000

Well, May wasn’t quite as bad as I anticipated so I guess that is good (see earnings here). But I’m still disappointed that I am for now a one-hit wonder with breaking the $1000 mark.

I mentioned previously that eHow had ended it’s compensation program so I would no longer be receiving residuals from [...] Related posts:

Ah, the Irony

Carrie — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 12:16:16 +0000

In case you just crawled out from under a rock, Google has updated their algo to try and weed out “content farms”. Talk has been buzzing on the forums and blogs, but exactly who and what is affected is still being hashed out.

Apparently, Ezine Articles is one of the sites hit: see here. [...] Related posts:

In Case I’m Not the Only Idiot

Carrie — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 19:06:16 +0000

So there was a buzz recently about changes in search volumes using the Google Keyword Suggestion tool. I even posted here about it and mentioned I didn’t see any changes for my main keywords.

Turns out I missed a key point. You have to use the newer interface of the tool to see the changes. [...] Related posts:

First Week of Semi-Focus

Carrie — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 19:23:20 +0000

Okay, I only have about 30 minutes till the kids are home so let me rattle off a quick summary of my week.

This was my first week without kids and the start of my effort to really get down and dirty and start pushing my earnings. Unfortunately, things haven’t worked out as I planned.

Changing Course and New Frontiers

Carrie — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 12:59:02 +0000

Okay, that title is a bit cheesy but what the heck. On Monday I will start my new plan to be more focused on growing my earnings.

I was hoping to have a more firm plan in place before Monday but this week has been hectic so I’ll firm things up next week. In my [...] Related posts:

Very Short Update on Rankings from Test

Carrie — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:46:26 +0000

I have been very busy with house stuff so I haven’t been doing much. But I did want to check in and say that my rankings for Site 1 and Site 2 homepages (didn’t check inners) are holding. I was hoping to see more movement upward but that hasn’t happen yet. But I think it [...] Related posts:

May Earnings Posted

Carrie — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:18:06 +0000

I posted my May earnings. Not terrible, not great.

My adsense was down a bit which isn’t surprising as that only represents my main niche site and that site has fallen off Page 1. My eHow earnings were back up after a large dip last month which is good. I also added Amazon sales [...] Related posts:

Let’s Spend Some Money

Carrie — Fri, 28 May 2010 19:01:22 +0000

So I posted recently that I would not be spending any money on anything because my Paypal account was going dry and I didn’t want to transfer money into it because we were buying a new house, applying for a mortgage, etc. See, this year I plan to spend (reinvest) all my online earnings to [...] Related posts:
