amazon earning august 2011

Slightly lower than last month income.
  • My main site that I called Site A are continuously getting about the same amount of traffic from referring site as compared to last month. As per last month , this site is still not getting much traffic from Google. It maintained to have a significant traffic from Yahoo and Bing .
  • One my new niche sites ( I refer it as site W1) that I built using premium ReviewAzon wordpress plugin, are getting traffic from Google and converts well this month.Im getting $51.00 from this site W1 this month. I'm intend to outsource the writing for this blog to build more and better content.
  • There is also a good flow of traffic for my articles and ads at third party site that I'm using. And this month conversion is quite good too.

traffic sources august 2011

Above is the main sources for the traffic in August for my main Site A. Some other traffic sources are not depicted above.

As can be seen from the snapshot above, the main sources are www.redgage.com followed by yahoo, bing and squidoo.com . But my last month 2nd best referring site of www.3stepads.com is dropped in ranking. This is due to falling keywords ranking for my articles at www.3stepads.com.

However my articles in squidoo are getting better keyword ranking from Google. I'm intend to put more articles in squidoo that relate to my performing keywords.
