Posting from a Galaxy Tab

I’ve just bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab and using a program for Android that allows me to post directly to my site.

Pretty clever stuff!

Adsense Income – you need traffic

The Idiot — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:41:10 +0000

I know that is stating the obvious, but my point is that if you have traffic you can earn decent money from Adsense.

The question is how much traffic do you need and how much can you earn from a certain level of traffic ?

I’m going to show you my rather pathetic stats for this year (so far) which should give you a rough idea of the potential earnings from Adsense.

You should bear in mind that these stats cover a number of domains and sites, covering a variety of niches.

And now for the numbers….

Month – revenue – impressions – clicks

Jan – $1.04 – 703 – 5
Feb – $5.09 – 785 – 15
Mar – $11.08 – 1210 – 22
Apr – $16.72 – 1309 – 31
May – $3.78 – 523 – 9
Jun – $3.80 – 645 – 11
Jul – $5.52 – 791 – 20
Aug – $3.29 – 776 – 7

Clearly I’m not going to be retiring on those numbers anytime soon But it does at least show that (at least in the niches I’m in) I need to be generating a lot more traffic !!

Slowly but surely

After accidentally trashing this site I am slowly but surely putting the pieces back together so I can start posting again.

I’ve been really busy lately so all I’ve managed so far is to start setting up all the plugins I use on my sites, today I’ve configured Twitter Tools so if things are working correctly this post should go out as a Tweet.

I still have a lot to do and a limited amount of time to get it all done, but eventually things should return to normal.

Disaster strikes because I’m an Idiot

If you are one of the few people that can actually be bothered to come and read this blog, then you might notice that all the original content from the past couple of years has gone.

Why ? you might ask. Well being the Idiot I am I managed to completely mess things up. I was moving the site from my expensive dedicated server to a new more affordable server and instead of being smart and checking that the new site was going to work, I was a complete Idiot and deleted all the original files before checking.

You can probably imagine my horror when I realised that the only backup I had of the sites database and files was corrupt !!

So there you have it, by being an Idiot and not checking the backup archive was ok I have managed to basically throw away several years of work.

However, I can at least look on the bright side…. My site is now hosted on a new server (one that lets me easily update everything), I’ve learn’t a valuable lesson and I can start again.

I hope anyone reading this learns from my Idiot mistake and checks their backups are ok.
