Thread: How Much Do you earn?

Oh yeah, that wasnt your blog. Yeah, I'm not high in Google SERPs at all, despite all my work. But I rank for a few related terms and I rank alright in Yahoo and MSN.

After these Autumn repeat exams I have to do, I've a few ideas to increase backlinks and hopefully SERPs.

The dataset may lead to a lot of splogs appearing overnight, which is not going to be pleasant to deal with. I'm already seeing a lot of them hitting forms on sites all over the place
Grr!

So you're getting all the traffic from Yahoo and MSN?

@George How much of your traffic do you reckon is coming from Ireland? Actually if you dont mind me asking, how much traffic are you getting?

I presume that there isn't too mich maintenance involved in a site like this?

I really have to take a harder look at the SEM side of things methinks.

That AOL dataset is a gold mine. I'm sifting through the data while I should be studying, I was targetting the wrong keywords, the really competitive keywords like 'free ringtones'.

No, I still get most traffic from Google, but not that much more. I get about 3000 unique visitors a day. A lot come from Ireland, as I'm no.1 for free ringtones with geo-location. But the Irish market is tiny, its all about America. Not much maintenance at all really. At the moment I'm working on a few things to have my ringtones in different formats and stuff like that to bring in a few more visitors.

If its any use to you I should have the entire dataset in mysql by tomorrow and can run some queries for you.

Hmm, I've moved into the next category; silly poll doesn't let you change...

Somewhere around 0 and 5 :P

That might have something to do with the fact that i haven't updated in a year...

I've noticed an (odd?) thing about stats like these.. there are people (the majority) that are barely covering hosting costs with adsense, and then there's the ~$500 a month crowd. But then it jumps to 1,500, 2,000 a month for some people - i guess it's all down to SEO - or just plain MFA sites.

I know several people that are making more than €500 / month without resorting to MFA junk...

It's all down to critical mass and SEO ....
