August 2009 Flashback Report

So, what is this all about. As everyone else has completed their income and statistics,  I thought I should try and post similar details. I will do my utmost to make it sound better and straight to the point.

I have seen a few bloggers adding some of their best posts for the month so I thought I would too. I am going to make mine shorter and just list my weekly Monday roundup posts:

All cool and fascinating posts are listed their as well as great reads I found on other blogs. You are sure to find something that you have not read.

Usage:

August 09 Statistics - site usage

August 09 Statistics - site usage

I know my site usage is not hectic and still has lots to increase by, but I am trying my best and I know it will get better.

  • Visits: 4243
  • Pages: 10,995
  • Pages/Visit: 2.59
  • Bounce: 61.51%
  • Average time: 4:29
  • New visits: 63.96%

I need to work more on the bounce rate, would be nice to be under 35%. That would just make me smile from ear to ear, lol.

Traffic:

  1. Organic: 33.75%
  2. Direct: 23.95%
  3. thesisthemehq.com: 3.63%
  4. shoutmeloud.com: 1.72%
  5. Google.com: 1.70%

Browsers:

It’s funny to see that Chrome and Safari are catching up to IE. I would like to see it some time next year. Please remember that this is for my blog.

  1. Firefox: 62.86%
  2. IE: 19.16%
  3. Chrome: 7.21%
  4. Safari: 5.44%
  5. Opera: 2.64:

Income:

  • Google Adsense: $20
  • Service Rendered: $150

Total income was $170.00, I think that is excellent. I hope to maybe get more Thesis sales before year end, wish me luck! I can’t say much about what services, but I can tell you it’s something I enjoy :)

Let me know what you think. I’m sure you guys and give me some pointers, ha ha ha.

Great sharing on your traffic stat and earning on your blog dude! I have slightly more traffic than you and slightly more earning than you this month, hehe! But I believe that you will take over me shortly. I admit that your blog is interesting and I’m impressed with your Thesis customization tutorial, very helpful. :D

Cheers,

Your stats aren’t all that bad George and $170 is pretty good considering you are only utilizing two avenues for earning money. Perhaps some diversification will increase your earnings.

@Sire – I tried infolinks, but that is not bringing in much and seems to be more of a waste of time. I don’t know if I made any affiliate sales as I did not check them and. I only showed income from things I know.

Way to go George. How about trying a bit in the affiliate sales? I presume Harsh can help as he is quite capable in marketing the aff. product pages.

I need to request him to start a website teaching us how to make the most of aff. prods and their sales.
