Finally some success... (albeit slight)

[MarkB]

One of my amazon sites has finally been googled (around 9,000 pages indexed right now), and my stats have gone up as well.

I've had 300+ click throughs from Google searches this month Which is about what I managed in the entire month of December.

It's nice for work to finally be paying off.

[MarkB]

Oh - and 6 sales so far this month; again more than I managed in December Look out, Chris!!

Congrats. 9,000 pages indexed! Which site?

[s2kinteg916]

i believe its buymetal.com...

i got my first amazon affiliate sale yesterday which was cool....on one of my sites...

[kdb003]

i had some sales, but they died after christmas

[MarkB]

Buymetal.net is the site

1 sale a day isn't so good I'm afraid, but its a start. Of course with AWS you don't need to do any maintenance work so its all residual income and thats nice.

[MarkB]

I know it isn't good, but considering I managed only 3 or so in all of December, it's amazing for me.

My other AWS store has made 3 sales so far this month.

Small steps.

I've not made any yet with my sites. So you're doing better than me.

[MarkB]

Not even from Google?

You should sell Atkins books etc from your weight-loss sites...

[chromate]

Oh no, I meant with my Amazon affiliate sites.

My Carbohydrate Counter site is doing nicely from adsense at the moment. I think it's due to all the post Christmas diets people are on Weight Loss Tips is no where to be found in the SERPs for any decent search terms, so I'm just using that as a PR trap at the moment and sending it on to Carbohydrate Counter.

Cool! Well done, can I ask how much you get from each sale?

9,910 pages now! Damn, how do you have that many pages?? Is all ur PR from that site and your others?

[MarkB]

Those pages are all due to AWS.

I guess I make 5% of each sale - most of them being CDs. However, one was a $99 gold CD Tasty

As an update, my other AWS site now has 8 sales so far this month. So a total of 15. Not too bad, really. Nice start to the year, even if it'll not cover any bills.

Nice So do you have a main job? Or are your web sites your main work? Just wondering what you guys on here are upto behind the forum as it were - are most of you hobbyists looking to make money, or do your sites provide your main income?

I am not yet out of school, but don't have any other source of income.
