Alhamdulillah, this is a wonderful month for me. November are filled with a yearly online shopping events like black friday and cyber monday. Due to those events the traffic is definitely pickup to my sites, especially to my Site A (my main site).
The traffic increased about 3 times than my normal month. The most high volume traffic was recorded from 24/12/2011 - 28/12/2011 .
- My main site that I called Site A are getting increasing traffic due to holiday shopping in this month of November. As per last month , this site is still not getting much traffic from Google (organic search). However I do see that some of my keywords are climbing in Google page (within page 2 -10). However its maintained to have a significant traffic from Yahoo , Bing and squidoo.
- I did some experiments at my usfreeads.com account. Since early this year I posting more Amazon product ads to my account using my standard template. I believe I have more than 1,000 ads posted. I hope to get good result for this November, but it certainly not materialised. But I'm hoping to get a better result in December. This method is one boring exercise to do actually. I select a product from Amazon, build the ads and finally post the ads to usfreeads.com . When I checked back how much I earned using this method (I track using Tracking ID) until this November, I earned a total of US$796.53 , well not bad at all.
- I'm also getting traffic to my Site A from usfreeads.com. For November, I got a total of 274 visits from usfreeads.com (as per diagram below). Not much but I believe it certainly helps.
- As for now, I got most of my traffic from redgage.com (more than 80%). But this scenario is not good for a long term as I over dependent. There are maintenance performed by Redgage team for a few hours on 24th and 25th Nov , and I must say my total traffic in November suffered a little bit from it.
- I'm currently building a new site, I will call this site, Site B. I'm looking to increase my average monthly earning from US$500+ to hopefully US$800+. I'm very much hoping that this new site will help me achieving my targeted earning. I will try to make this new site profitable within the next 6 months.
Above is the main Top 6 traffic sources in November, 2011 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 bing, yahoo , squidoo and usfreeads.
