Well, November has passed and I actually forgot to publish this post and it’s just a few more days until Christmas. It’s time to reflect on what happened in the month of November and hope to give you guys a better perspective on Serradinho Blog.
Posts from the Month:
Well, if you are not new here, then you know I do weekly roundups of posts on a Monday. They have posts published on this blog as well as great reads from other bloggers.

- Serious Monday Roundup #18
- Serious Monday Roundup #19
Or you can view our monthly round up of posts Serious Monthly Roundup – November 2009.

I know my site usage is not as high as other bloggers, but I have seen an increase in stats from last month and I’m really happy. I know it will get better and next year I expect it to double.

Free Downloads
As some of you already know, I have many free downloads available ranging from ebooks, plr articles, images and graphics, WordPress and Thesis tutorials (new category added). Below are a few stats that might interest you.
Overall Totals:
- Total Hits: 79,995 (Previuos – 76,851)
Category Totals:

So make sure you stop by and never miss any new downloads, use them or share them. It’s cool by me
Income:
- Google Adsense: $4
- Services Rendered: $160
That makes my total income for November 2009, a minimum of only $164. This is not as high as I would like it to be, but things have been a bit hectic for my partner and myself. I received payments in the beginning of December for work that was done in November, but that will be shown on December Flashback Report.
Anyways, my traffic from search engines is doing well for me, thanks to you all

@Greg – I received $400 already in December and I should be getting another $400 so Decembers income will be high.
Please write more MMO articles and place Adsense into those articles, Adsense income will grow as you want
You are successfull cos most of traffic is from Search engine and Refering link

@minhmeo – I will be placing more Adsense and testing that out, thanks for your input.
I think you may find MMO to be one of the worst at converting Adsense.

Nice sharing on the stat, you have similar traffic as mine, mine one just slightly higher than yours. Between, I think you could earn a little more from Adsense, $4/month is too low for a blog like this. Anyway, hope you earn more from your services, you can earn passive income from there.
Cheers,
Lee
Your service income is good. It will be good if you share your affiliate income as well. I see that your traffic is good. Pageview is really well. You need to work on search engine traffic buddy. I am also planning to offer blogger template service.
Cool roundup George! BTW, is the Adsense worth it? I mean, it doesn’t exactly look nice on your blog, and it only pays $4 per month? Maybe you’d be better off putting an affiliate ad in it’s place. The ad will look nicer, and at the same time, even if you get one sale you’re probably going to get $20+.
Good luck!

@Simon – I’m trying a few things with Adsense. If it does not doing better for the next month and a half, then I will place an affiliate banner instaed.
you seems not agree with what Google suggested on adsense banner size, right? saw your adsense ads not 336×280 and 300×250. These are the most profitable sizes that all bloggers would like to put in

@Pradeep – I have been switching it off and on, I will be testing it for the next month or so to see what the results are. My traffic has been increasing a lot and I know it will be better.
2k visits from the search engines is great, so congrats and keep it up. about the income, i guess on tech/blogging blogs private ads and services works better
good to see you make the most out of the services,
