So far…

On this blog I’m gonna keep a record of all the efforts and earnings from my online adventures. It all started out as a hobby, but I have turned my hobby into a passive income. My goal is to make enough money so I won’t have to work. Not only can you read about how I’m trying to improve my online earnings, but also what I learn along the way about search engine optimization, link building and more.

I have 2 sport related sites and 1 free sports related blog (on blogspot).

So far I have earned this from the 1st of January until today:

  • Site 1: $424.37
  • Site 2: $13.29
  • Free blog: $3.77

TOTAL EARNINGS: $441.54

As you can see my nr. 1 site is making me the most money. This site was already established when I decided to put adsense on. I get an average of 500 unique visitors a day, which at least doubles on event days. In addition to that someone gave me a painting for having a link to them on my site and a book in return for a promotion. The site is PR4.

The nr. 2 site has been on free hosting for about 2 years but I moved it to a domain about 6 months ago. I have neglected it in the beginning by not updating it enough, but now I’m keeping it up to date. I am now using wordpress for it. It’s ranked nr. 2 for it’s keyword but still only getting around 30 - 70 uniques a day, even on events days. It’s PR 2.

The free blog is more a bit of fun for me, where I can not only put news related to the sports events, but also a bit of gossip. This site is also about 6 months old and has a PR of 3.

    Hello Elizabeth

    Could you tell us about site 1, $424.37 is much better than my site which I started in Jan has made, how long was it estaclished and where does your revenue come from?

  2. Sandra Says:

    I’ve started with site 1 in 2001. It was just a bit of a hobby and exchanged some links with sites about the same topic. I did not really promote it, but because of the links with the other sites I started to get a bit of a regular group of readers and it has been growing ever since. I didn’t start with SEO and link building until about 6 months ago. People can sign up with the site and I have over 1000 members at the moment.

    All my revenue comes from google adsense.
