May Google Adsense revenue


We are now beginning of June, it is time for an update of my monthly google adsense earnings. My total earnings for the month of May are $70.82, which is a 75% increase compared to April! I am really happy with this progress, as my main blog has doubled its earnings. The total visitors has increased by 22% this month.
My blog which is profitable is as usual The Color Contacts, which earned me $65.28 this month which is the double of what i earned in April ($32.79)! The Color Contacts has been really successful this month with an increase in visitors and earnings.
My second blog, My Color Contacts, on the same topic as The Color Contacts is not developing as wanted, but this is surely due to the fact that i do not post regularly enough and especially i did not post suffisiantly at the beginning. My Color Contacts has very few visitors unfortunately and total earning is of $1.91 which is less than in April.

My third blog, this one, Dollar James, is stable and number of visitors has been multiplied by 4. Nevertheless profit has not increased, as my earning for Dollar James in May is $1.84 .
All in all, i am satisfied by the increase in my earnings especially as i have not been posting recently. My leading blog, The Color Contacts is getting close to a $70 earning per month which is very nice in regards to the work i do :) This month i plan to most more regularly in order to increase even more my earnings, and myabe reach $100 in the month with The Color Contacts!

April Google Adsense revenue


So here we are beginning of May, its time for to give you an update on my Google Adsense earnings. My total earnings for the month of April are $39.99, which is 3 times more than what i earned in March! I consider this to be a really nice progress! Furthermorethe number of visitors has impressively increased!
So lets go in details with my various blogs and websites that earn me money. My most profitable blog is The Color Contacts which earned me $32.79 which is most of my profit.
My second most successful blog was My Color Contacts which i have just started. The number of pages viewed is small but it still represents an earning of $5.04. I am trying to develop this blog, but am having a few difficulties.
My third blog that earned me money is this website, DollarJames.com which earned me $1.81. This blog is only used for information purpose and to update about what i am doing on the net, and how i am successful in making money, so it is normal that it is not optimized to earn money!
Overall, i am really satisfied with my Google Adsense earnings as they have tripled since March! The Color Contacts is having a great success with more and more visitors. My Color Contacts is progressing rather slowly i hope this blog will develop very soon. Considering i did not post in April on Dollar James, it is normal that earnings are low. I intend to correct this during the month of May.

My objectives are to continue earning as much with The Color Contacts, doubling my revenue from My Color Contacts, and increasing revenue from Dollar James. I will keep you updated end of May!

My adsense niche revenue


On the 5th of February i launched two blogs on two supposed “niche” markets. It is now over a month they have launched, and the results are interesting to analyse.

The first blog i launched was The Color Contacts, which was based on the color contacts niche market. I posted on this blog about one post every week or every week and a half (so not a great deal!). My adsense revenue was rather disapointing in February, as i had a small amount of visitors and a $2.18 revenue for 25 days. Pretty bad no? Well yes and no, i did not promotion for it, and its the first month so at the end of the month i decided to continue with it by posting new info on it. I was rather supprised that in March my adsense revenue started increasing especially that i was posting less frequently! For the moment in March (18 days), i have nearly doubled my visitors and my adsense revenue is of $5.52 in 18 days. Basically i have already more than doubled my February revenue in even less days! Considering the color contacts has only be launched just over a month and a half ago, i think this is rather impressive vue the time i am spending on it! I intend to continue with it, and hope revenue will continue improving as my ranking in search engines and blog search engines.

My conclusion about the color contacts “niche” is that it definitely has a potential and i can expect to earn $73.6 a month in June if it continues doubling every month as it is now! Consdering all of this, i have decided to launch a second blog on the color contacts “niche” market in order to increase my earnings. The blog is called: My Color Contacts and can be accessed with this url: http://mycolorcontacts.blogspot.com

The second blog i had launched on a “niche” market, but which i thought would be less successful was The Glowsticks. I chose this niche as clicks were paid relatively high. Nevertheless i have been disapointed by this niche market, as i have had poor results in Frebruary and in March. This is probably because people do not visit blogs for glowsticks maybe lol? Therefore i am kind of leaving this blog asside as i think it has a poor potential or if it has it is more difficult to reach. Statistics are awful, hardly any visitors in February and a revenue of $0.19! March is even worse, but this is because i am no longer updating it!

Overall, i am confident for the color contacts niche market, and hope to have several successful blogs that will allow me to earn a small monthly income between $100 and $200 a month in a couple of months! I will keep you updated of my future revenues regarding these blogs!

Google Adsense new ad format


Google is experimenting and testing a new ad format with their adsense system. The size of the banner is 728×90 and it has pictures inset into the ad next to the text of the ad. The ad also has small titled headings (tabs) along the top which represents categories of link. User will be able to choose what ad he wants to see. Basically they are trying to create a more client customized ad. Here is a view of how it is:

Google 728*90 ad

Not only has Google been testing new ad formats, they have also be testing ads with Italicized writing. I have recently seen websites with Google ads having heading in italics. Personally i find this useless as ads do no longer fit within your site font writing style and it therefore gives a cheap aspect to your website.

Overall it seems Google are testing many new things recently. I have also heard that they might be updating their algorithm! Information to check!

Google Adsense Niche


A few weeks ago, after working with the Brainstorm generator software i found a bunch of niche keywords that i intend now to exploit. I have just created two free blogs on blogger.com and have integrated adsense to it.

The first niche keyword i found and which my new blog topic is about is “Color Contacts“. After using the Brainstorm Generator, i found out that their were 46310 searches for “Color contacts” and 307000 results on Google. The ratio R/S is approximately 6 which is excellent. Nevertheless the bid amount was a bit low as it was between $0.5 and $1. You might think this is not very good, but it is more profitable to have a site with may visitors and low bid than having one with high bid and very small amount of visitors due to competition. We will see how this blog runs and i will keep you updated … Link to the blog is here: http://thecolorcontacts.blogspot.com

The second blog i have created is around the “Glowsticks” keyword. You know those shiny plastic tubes you use during parties? Well the blog is about that! mmm you may think what can i say about that, but i will have to find out if i want to make my blog interesting! Compared to the “Color contacts” blog, i chose a topic with a ratio which was not as good (ratio of 28 with 16170 searches and 462000 results), but with a higher bid amount, $4.41. I have done this in order to compare it to my other Color contacts blog and try and find out which is the best solution to make the most money out of Adsense. Link to this blog is: http://theglowsticks.blogspot.com
Nevertheless in both cases a key element will be content, so i will have to try and find interesting content in order to attract people to my blogs. I will keep you updated with my adsense performance which i hope to be good. But i must be prepared to be disapointed if it fails! Wish me luck!

Google launches Paid Music videos


The latest Google service is about to revolutionize online music sharing. Google will offer anyone the possibility to put thousand of up to date Music videos on their websites. The best deal in this is that they will offer money to the website owners each time that video is viewed! This is going to be a major step forward in the Online Music video world.

Google is getting ready to enter the video advertising arena. They have already signed major contracts with big names in the video industry. Some of you may have noticed that Google AdSense ads can now display music video clips from Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment. I must admit that all this looks very promising !

Basically in the next couple of weeks, Google will be offering their members using Google Adsense to display music videos instead of ordinary text ads. These video ads will be accompanied with advertising.

This is not the first time Google is distributing video clips throught their Adsense service. Google distributed in August 2006, music videos clips in partnership with MTV on websites using Adsense. But this time, Google is playing it big by partnering with huge groups such as Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment, but also with many small media companies. Users will have the possiblity to choose their own playlist to play on their website ! The revenues from the ads will be split between Google, the publisher and the music company. Apparantly, the ads will be billed on a cost-per-thousand-impressions model.

This new service from the giant Google is surely going to change the way music videos are percieved and market online. Videos will be now available everywhere and people won’t have to go to specific places such as media websites in order to view them. The companies owning the videos (music companies) will be able to choose the sites where their music video ads will be displayed and extend their reach on the internet.

All in all a briliant new service from Google! Thank you Google yet again! 

Brainstorm Generator


Have you ever heard of this program ? Well i heard about it two days ago, and i must admit even though i have only tried the trial version i was really impressed by it ! Brainstorm Generator is a real source of information to find the best keywords for adsense !
So what on earth is Brainstorm Generator ? Well brainstorm generator is a simple program that uses the “ouverture adsense bid keyword tool” in order to give you detailed statistics about potential good keywords. All in all its searches for you the best “niche” keywords. Brainstorm generator will give you the following information for the keywords you indicate to it: number of searches on google, number of results, number of adwords and the bid value.

Brainstorm GeneratorYou might then say why use Brainstorm generator and not simply the ouverture tool ? Well simply because BG will search for you potential keywords ! You dont have to find yourself a list of keywords really ! No manual work ! Its all automatic. You have several solutions, one is to use a link from a page (eg: search on ebay) and the other is to use froogle. You just have to indicate that and then BG will scan the page and find all words for you and test them and give you the details you want about each of them.

Furthermore you have the possibility to choose the max/min searches results, bid amount, adwords in order to only get good niche keywords ! Isn’t this great ?
With the trial version, you are limited to the number of niche keywords found (5), but this is not really annoying if you put high criterias ! You also do not have the possibility to save keywords found as .xls file. The most annoying thing with the trial version is that you can’t get sub-keywords when double clicking on your niche keyword. This is a real shame as it is really nice to have this feature if you intend to make a site with good content.

Having found excellent niches I am now wondering whether to create blogs or websites on my niche subjects. Perhaps finally a way to earn money ? lets make it a try !
