I’m completely thrilled, not only did I have such a fantastic weekend filled with great friends and motivating factors, I reached an all time record for Adsense totaling just over R5,000.00!
$665.51 U.S. dollars = 5095.83 South African rands.
Over the past several months, I read a number of articles which stated that it was no longer possible to earn decent money using Adsense; after reading all of these articles, I was motivated to prove everyone wrong!
If you’re interested in watching my progress, this will give you an idea: May | June | July.
Not too shabby… Mine’s been down a bit from last month. SA traffic’s clicks have been dismal. I wait for 3pm every day for the yanks to do the high-value-clicking…
Any chance you feel like sharing your other revenue stats? Just curious as to whether you really find it worth it to have so many other ads on your site. (Not looking for exact stats, obviously, that would be rude :-) )
I must admit, James, from 3PM there is most certainly an increase in daily avenue.
Which other stats are you looking for? You can probably work most of it out from my advertising page :)
Good stuff! – i found adsense to be the better paying ad programs out there (vs adbrite, and similar)
How many visits you’r getting on your site daily (if you dont mind me asking?) you got me on PM so ya :)
Agreed, I’ve tested most of them out and I have to admit that it’s probably the best one out there. TrafficSynergy is a good system too and it’s local.
I’ll pop you a PM or I guess you can get an idea from my advertising page – http://imod.co.za/index.php/advertise/
Actually, your “advertise” page answers the questions. I was just curious as to how much you would charge for ads on your site.
So questions are answered? :)
Wow, Chris, that’s a lot of money. Have you ever considered playing Father Christmas to your regular readers and, ya know, “giving back to the community” yadda yadda?
Because if you are, and you’re taking requests then I’d like a pony and the new barbie doll set, the one with the interchangeable clothes and a Ken doll and a hair twirler and some nik-naks (whispers) because mom won’t buy me any.
Well, I did that sex toys thing, but I must admit, I’ve been thinking about running a cash competition giving away R200 for the best comment or best idea, etc.
Barbie Doll set might be affordable, not too sure about the pony though! Shame Richard, why won’t your mom buy you a set?
Okay, no pony then. sigh.
How about a nice new vuka scooter then?
I’d like the new ML150 in a snazzy red and yellow lightning bolt livery. Think you can deliver that?
Say ‘yes’, please.

I’m not that loaded my friend! I wish I had the money to be able to do that hey :)
Oh I see, you’re on a budget, eh?
Well you’re in luck then, because for R5499 you can sponsor a Vuka ML110.
I’ll do all I can to promote your competition… provided I win, of course.
Big time budget! Lol, that’s a serious over spend from my side bud.
Haha, ye ye :P
Maybe get a partner or partners who can help you with the stake out?
Those vukas are really hot property these days. All the kids, er I mean 20 somethings, want one. :)
I want one too! Perhaps I should get one and then just post pictures..
And there it is… the naked greed of ChrisM.
Take a bow.
Bwhaha, I’ll jump over there and give you a smack! :P
Catch me, if you can.
*toot toot*
Hahhaha *toot toot*
