The total income for July 2008 pale in comparison compared to any other month in 2008 because of one reason; the absense of google adsense in most of my biggger blogs. I have managed to get USD$1,000 - USD$1,300 monthly from adsense and ditching it affected much of last month income. Last month only bring USD$543.98 to my make money online table.

The total breakdown:

AdBrite - US$431.13 -(US$1.40) up US$429.73
WidgetBucks - US$61.07 -(US$76.54) down US$15.47
Bidvertiser - US$24.31-(US$2.17) up US$22.14
AuctionAds - US$0.48 -(US$42.20) down US$41.72
Kontera - US$21.79 - (US$7.29) up US$14.50
Nuffnang - US$5.20 -(US$19.45) down US$14.25

Total Income: US$543.98 ~ RM1,735.30 (based on US$1-RM3.19)

The main thing is that I now know that IF I am banned from adsense there is always other alternative to try and it is not that bad or even better in the long run.

On the bright note, adbrite did quite well for an adsense replacement and I am averaging around USD410-USD$20 from adbrite. So well, that I am going to extend this adsense free experiment to this month of August 2008. I only put adsense in this RajawangDotCom blog.

Note

I would like to point out again that this total income is NOT from this Rajawang blog only, since I am only running Adsense, Nuffnang and Kontera in Rajawang. As I have said before, I maintained around 5 blogs that monetized well enough to earn the figures above. This is not magic, nothing good come easily. You can read my Top 5 Recommended Money Makers here.

Conclusion

So that’s all for this Rajawang make money online income report for this time, there is lots of work still to be done. Hopefully you will do better too.

Congrats for whatever you have achieved in this Make Money Online journey.

As I said earlier in my Top 5 recommended money makers post, I am doing an experiment of ditching Adsense completely(except for rajawang and my personal blog) in this month of *July 2008. I know some of you might say I am letting a month’s of good income down the drain but I think this is the thing that I need to do so that I can fully test life without adsense.

I am not banned from adsense. Don’t worry about that. I do receive the occasional emails from adsense e.g letting me know that sometimes my other ads in the blog looks similar to adsense and ask to change it, sometimes the contain is against some of adsense TOC etc.

I have learned a lot from Adsense since I started blogging about 14 months ago. Much much more than I ever imagine from making in this make money online world. See the screen shot below:

USD$10K is way beyond my dream when I first signup with adsense and earned $0.01 on my first day.

Supporting cast thrown into the main fray.

So what ads company shall I use other than Adsense?

I believe in giving someone another chance if he/she fails at the first time of asking. And the same goes for an advertising company. So, I will give Bidvertiser another chance although they disappoint me some time ago. Maybe the time that I gave it back then is insufficient. Now I am giving them a full month.

I will also try adbrite in some of my blogs.

I will continue with Widgetbucks since they are giving me steady income of USD70-USD100 a month from the first day I put their ads in my blogs.

Shoppingads@auctionads will again be counted to bring in at least USD50 this month.

Nuffnang will complete the lineup for this month.

My Target for this month

As you can see from the excel chart above, I earned on average of USD$140 from income other than adsense a month. So based on my calculation, I will be very happy if I can tripled that amount to around USD$400 for this month. That will be about third of what I get alltogether if I am using adsense. USD400 is around MYR1,200 in local currency and that will sufficient for me at the time being. Anything more will be a bonus.

Conclusion

I am confident that I will reach that USD$400 mark, how bad can the replacement ads fare? since I am sure that my traffic this month will be more the same with or without any ads going on.

Do you have any opinion on my experiment?

Wish me luck!

So much for the jammed road caused by the hoax of gas station going on strike for 3 days just now. Luckily I managed to get home using alternative road and reached home at 6.15pm. Some accidents happened during the chaos, hopefully nobody died.

Back to the main story, the Adsense payment in progress(PIP) link is already out. And it is a bit early for PIP to come out on the 23rd of the month. But I am not complaining..

See the screenshot below:

As for the current month of June, my earnings is:

There is only 7 days left in June to reach my target of USD1,500 - so my target is a failure, I would be glad if it reaches USD1.3K and even that is not a certainty. sad.

Can’t wait to get my adsense money in this few days..

The Next thing to buy when I got the money is an office table as an extension for my current workplace setup at home. I need it to accomodate another Acer PC that I bought early in the year. I have surveyed and the price is just around RM350 including transport.

Well, Enough about that..

Who the hell create the hoax about the gas station going to close? Pfttt..

April is a good month every year, because I celebrated his 29th Birthday on the 16th of April last month (yeaay!). No fancy celebration on the day but only a peaceful dinner with the family. Posting on Rajawang was slow to say the least because updating of the other blogs occupied most of my online time.

My internet income for April 2008:

Summary - Adsense is up, Widgetbucks is up again, Kontera is starting to make money, advertlets finally paid me and auctionads is consistent. (Last month income in bracket.)

Google Adsense - US$1,365.40 - (US$1,185.11)
WidgetBucks - US$114.64 -(US$15.20 )
Advertlets - US$1.15 -(US$5.05)
AuctionAds - US$57.34 -(US$88.83)
AdBrite - US$1.21 -(US$0.24)
Bidvertiser - US$2.41 -(US$2.33)
Nuffnang - US$10.21 -(US$30.15)
Kontera - US$19.95

Total Income: US$1,572.31 ~ RM4,874.16 (based on US$1-RM3.10) - Record High.

This is a new record high for overall and also adsense earnings for me. Hopefully I can reach US$1,500 by the end of June.

I would like to point out again that this total income is NOT from this Rajawang blog only, since I am only running Adsense, Nuffnang and Kontera in Rajawang. As I have said before, I maintained around 5 blogs that monetized well enough to earn the figures above. This is not magic, nothing good come easily.

As you can see, I am testing to put adsense ads here in Rajawang in an experiment whether it can bring any revenue. One on the top and one on the sidebar. It is widely known that most make money online readers are ads savvy and most will not click on any ads. True?

But since the nufflets@Gokita ads didn’t have much advertisers so it is almost useless to put it in here.

That leaves adsense, kontera, chitika and nuffnang in this rajawang blog.

Cheers.
