2 May, 2014 | Blogging | 7 seen

My Online income in April has raised for about 42% compared with month of March and makes modest $7.86.

In average in month of April I earned about a $ 0.26 in a day, what is up by by $0.08 compared with March averages, when it was about $0.177 in a day

• Highest earnings per day: $ 1.19
• Days earning more than $1: 3
• Lowest earning per day: $ 0.01

In April my Adsense ad units made me money each day, thanks to RPM.  So in this case, I can say, I didn't spent a day without earning some penny.

Speaking of my Adsense goals, some time ago I have setup on - Earn $40 in a month. By today I'm 1/5 way there. 

The Adsense ad units are implemented on several of my internet websites. 

Change of Adsense placement for higher CTR - Experiment 2

1 May, 2014 | Blogging | 6 seen

I have been serving Google AdSense on my blog for a while. My traffic is pretty modest and so do is my earnings from Google AdSense.

I have CTR about 0.7% on this blog, and I want to improve that, by getting at least 1% CTR. Some time ago I made the first experiment with changing layouts for serving ads. That didn't work as expected, and I'm changing again.

For now, I am serving maximum allowed Google AdSense ad units on my site - 3. I have placed first under Title, and I'm using for that Responsive add Image only. Then I'm having 2 Responsive ads, this time text only. And I'm having third ad unit - Sidebar 300X300 with image only.

Because it's responsive. It works great on any mobile phones and tablets. The cons of Responsive ad unit so far I have noticed, the CPC ir much lower for regular ad units. But since my aim is to improve CTR this time, rather CPC, I'm not paying to that a much (at this moment). In case those ad spaces will convert in higher CTR, I will change them to popular ad units.

Its well-known fact that Google delivers better ads if…

Blog statistics April 2014

1 May, 2014 | Blogging | 5 seen

Month of April was pretty good in terms of organic search traffic. My traffic increased by 80.258% this month compared with previous month. In total making 977 unique visitors.

By now I'm getting 32.5 unique visitors in a day.

My goal is to reach 6000 unique visitors in a month, by end of this September/October.

6000/month stands for 200/day. Right now I'm 1/6 there. Time is left not so much - 5 months. And that is making me worried. Althoug I'm seeing pretty good traffic increase, it's still very modest. And if things will continue go like previous 7 month, it could be hard to get 6000 uniques b end of this September/October.

Speaking of my next month prognosis (May), I will keep my prognosis modest - I will be happy to see result 1200-1500 by end of this May. Acutally it's interesting, this January I got overall more than 1400 uniqe visitors, thanks to my first traffic spike. It would be great to get bigger numbers this month. But as I said, I'm pretty modest in my this month prognosis.
