		<description><![CDATA[July has passed pretty quickly for me with two vacations and it was a rather unspectacular month in regards to ghacks as well. My earnings remained pretty stable throughout the month with the usual fluctuation in Adsense earnings. I'm really not sure why the difference between the worst day (Saturday, July 14, 2007 - 2,44% of my Adsense earnings) and the best day (Sunday, July 15, 2007 - 3,97% of my Adsense earnings) was so immense considering that the best day followed the worst day immediately.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>July has passed pretty quickly for me with two vacations and it was a rather unspectacular month in regards to ghacks as well. My earnings remained pretty stable throughout the month with the usual fluctuation in Adsense earnings. I&#8217;m really not sure why the difference between the worst day (Saturday, July 14, 2007 &#8211; 2,44% of my Adsense earnings) and the best day (Sunday, July 15, 2007 &#8211; 3,97% of my Adsense earnings) was so immense considering that the best day followed the worst day immediately.</p>
<p>Review Me which made up about 7% of my earnings in June went down to 0% this time because I got no new review orders in July. This was not as worth as it sounds because Tribalfusion finally kicked of with <a href="http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/">Evertons</a> great advice to change the format of the banner at the bottom to a rectangle.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still trying to get a little bit more diversity into my earnings with the goal that my Adsense earnings drop below 50% while keeping the money earned stable. I think I will have to test a few schemes and get rid of some that do not make that much sense anymore. </p>
<p><span id="more-1819"></span>I want to concentrate on direct ad sales as well because this is something that I have been neglecting for a very long time. The stats from last month showed for instance that both Evertons and John Chows direct ad sales made up 9,11% and 11,45% of their total earnings while mine remained at 0,33%.</p>
<p>Here are my blog earnings for July 2007: (brackets June 2007)</p>
<p><strong>Google Adsense</strong> 58,37% (58,95%)<br />
<strong>Google Adsense Referrals</strong> 2,36% (2,79%)<br />
<strong>Google Adsense Search</strong> 0,35% (0,17%)<br />
<strong>Text Link Ads</strong> 4,90% (3,78%)<br />
<strong>Review Me</strong> 0,00% (7,30%)<br />
<strong>Tribalfusion</strong> 9,19% (3,87%)<br />
<strong>Intellitxt</strong> 24,81% (22,45%)<br />
<strong>Direct Ad Sales</strong> 0,33% (0,64%)</p>
<p>To sum up my plans for August 2007:</p>
<p>+ Focus on direct ad sales<br />
+ Remove Adsense Search and install a better search<br />
+ Get rid of Feedburner Ads in Feeds (done)<br />
+ Try out some selected affiliate programs to diversify my income</p>
<p>How was the June 2007 for you ?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2007/07/01/myblogearnings-for-june-2007/" target="_blank">Everton</a> and several other users are publishing their blog earnings every month and I thought that I would do a similar thing with the exception that I will not publish the absolute numbers but only the percentage of what the service is earning. I feel not that comfortable to reveal my earnings in dollars because I feel that it belongs to my private life.</p>
<p>Just ask yourself the question if you would reveal what you earn with your job on your website. Would you do that ? I&#8217;m still able to write about winners and losers, changes that I made and how they effected the earnings and my biggest earners and programs that do not earn that much.</p>
<p>Without further ado, here are my blog earnings for June 2007, the numbers in brackets are the figures for June and May:</p>
<p><span id="more-1717"></span>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com/adsense" target="_blank">Google Adsense</a> (58,95% / 55,79%) &#8211; my biggest earner with more than 50% of all the earnings of this blog. I had a nice increase in earnings with Google Adsense this month mainly because of a rise in eCPM. What I really don&#8217;t like is that fluctuation from one day to another can be quite high.</li>
<li>Google Adsense Referrals (2,79% / 2,83%) &#8211; as I pointed out earlier those are all Firefox referrals. These continue to work very well for my blog.</li>
<li>Google Adsense Search (0,17% / 0,35%) &#8211; pretty disappointing. I will remove Google Adsense for Search and replace it with the best wordpress search available. It is not worth it and does not fit in my blog anyway.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.tribalfusion.com/" target="_blank">Tribalfusion</a> (3,87% / 3,01%) &#8211; this one is on the rise and I think it will do much better in July. The last seven days have seen an increase of about 300% and I hope this continues in July. This will become my third biggest money maker. I did add a rectangle at the end of every article which seems to pay a lot better than those 468*60 banners.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.vibrantmedia.com" target="_blank">Intellitxt</a> (22,45% / 23,94%) &#8211; what can I say. A great income resource and I&#8217;m eternally thankful that Everton recommended me. I&#8217;m able to recommend you and your website if you have at least 250000 pageviews a month with it. (blogs are fine but sites with not enough content like video sites and forums are not)</li>
<li>Direct Ad Sales (0,64% / 0,80%) &#8211; not really worth mentioning. I might remove them together with the Google Search. I&#8217;d love to make some direct ad sales like Everton did but I personally feel that it is unlikely at the moment.</li>
</ul>
