How was your October?

[Masetek]

Well it's the 2nd of Nov, and MarkB hasn't started this thread up yet! :D

So how was your October?

My best month yet. Landed a handful of good freelance jobs, and my sites improved about 50% across the board! Nice.

[Mike Hunt]

Adsense was a lot better, AWS a lot worse, everything else held about steady. Google rankings took a dive.

[MarkB]

Cracked $500. Hopefully crack 600 this month. I expect it to all take a dive after mid-December though :)

[Kate]

Productive-ish.
I haven't updated my punk site and I managed to get quite a large increase of uniques and $5 increase on Adsense (which is good being that last month was a $1-2 total :P). I still have been lazy and haven't begun the new layout, cms and code for it though. I started a couple of other projects but they are still in the basic designing stages.

Month total: $7.87

[Blue Cat Buxton]

I made a wopping $14.50 from Amazon.com; Adsense about the same as last month, but improvements on some affiliate sites meant overall I'm up and best month this year.

[LuckyShima]

Down 20% on Sep, very bad start to the month with a drop in eCPM which was mentioned in an earlier thread, picked up after about the 10th.

[r2d2]

Low average really - around $250 or something.

A few months ago, Mark and I were about the same, I obviously need to pick up the pace!

[MarkB]

Yeah, get on it man! :P

One bonus is my Sports AWS site gaining decent ranking right before the NFL season started :) So it's not going to be a long-term thing (unless I put more effort into the site itself).

[chromate]

Getting better. Adsense picked up in the last week or so considerably. It done that last year too. Hopefully the next two months will follow suite.

[MarkB]

Yeah, Adsense is kicking butt right now.

[Mike]

Not as good as September but still ok :)

What a leap your sites have taken this year Mark!

[MarkB]

Yeah, it helps when you actually use Adsense properly :D haha

This was a very turbulant month due to my hosting and other things, but I was still able to make a little more then last month. Hopefully, this month will be alot better

[Cutter]

Best month yet, by far. October's Adsense Earnings were more than double September's (To be fair, Sept was a little weak, but still not bad.)

Funny thing, the 2nd of last month was my income shot way up and stayed there the whole month. Well, today is the 2nd again, and I'm having another record breaking day. If it holds this level my income will double again.

These are the kind of pay raises that makes being in business for yourself worth it ;)

[ozgression]

Best month for a while for me. Adsense down, affiliates up. November is looking really good so far (it's only been 2 days :)).

[Todd W]

Lost a couple rankings gained a couple more.
Overall I think only a loss of around $500.

[Doug]

Income was up, profit was down. My net profit for the whole month was -$8.72. Which was more negative money than last month but my income went up. My expenses should be less this month though and my income should still increase so maybe I can see some green. :D

Traffic to Strange-Facts was up 35% to a whopping 3156 uniques for the month. :rolleyes: If it keeps going at that rate though, maybe it will be decent.... in a few years.

[AndyH]

I had a great time in October - nice weather was a bonus.

Thanks for asking. :)

[Masetek]

nice weather was a bonus.

Too right! I'm surprised I got any work done in the past few weeks!

[dvduval]

My October was 20% better than September (for Adsense), so I'm happy to have recovered lost ground. I'm also doing better with cultivating other revenue besides adsense, so I feel like I'm getting diversified, which feels a lot safer than overly depending on Adsense.

[michael_gersitz]

about 500% increase i think... if in sept i made $450 and last month i cracked 3k :)

[Chris]

ecommerce was up, but is oddly down so far in november.
adsense was down (september was my best ever though so)
tribalfusion was up (and is up nicely this month)
affiliate was down, datafeed sites have a short lifetime and I haven't made a new one in awhile

overall I have to say it was good month. I believe I broke the $1000 a day mark, which lately has only happened thanks to christmas related ecommerce.
