January 2011 Blog Income Report

I promised myself that 2011 was going to be the year that I finally get my finger out and started concentrating on generating income online. Obviously saying I will do it and doing it are 2 different things. The test would come at the end of January. 

I think I did alright with the posts this month. I didn’t post as many posts as I did in December (24) but I still managed 14 and received 160 comments, just under a hundred more than December (68). That means each post pulled in 11.42 comments. Very pleased with that result. 

Page Impressions & Visitor Count

The unique visitor count for January stands at 1,069, which is a nice increase of 124 from the month of December.

The page impression count for January stands at 2,419, which is another huge increase of 451 from the month of December.

This means that each unique visitor looked at 2.26 pages.

– An advertiser purchased a text ad with Adengage. 

– I made nothing through passive income this month because the sites I am working with all went down at the same time so was unable to get the stats.

– I’ve started selling affiliate products. And if I am being honest I think I have done bloody well in my first month! It’s a lot of work but I am hoping to be able to spend less time on it once I get going.
