Recently, my readers ask me how has the economic crisis impacted my blogging earnings. It’s actually a question that everyone is asking in the blogosphere but also a question everyone’s jobs at the moment.
As I’ve pondered the question I’ve realized that the answer to the question is not for all bloggers because each bloggers very differently and depending upon factors such as their traffics, their blogs topics and other factors.
Ad Revenue And Private Ad Sales, A Little Down
My biggest income comes from advertising revenue in particular from a combination of sources including AdSense and Infolinks and Private Ad Sales. I run these on the3dtechnologies, nickdeiana.com, and coupons.the3dtechnologies.com.
Many of blogger reporting that both ad networks(like Adsense) and ad space to private sales has decreased their earn due the economic downturn. I’ve noticed that my advertising income has decreased a little this month like other bloggers out there.
Compared others blogger that has had an decline of their income of 40%, I’ve seen my blog decrease only of the 15%. This means that adsense revenues aren’t impacted by economic downturn on all blogs.
Thus, I put it down a couple of reasons.
Traffic up – Despite the amount of money that companies are spending online with their advertising may be decreasing, I continued to increasing traffic to my site and get a steady stream of people visit my website every day from search engine. This have impacted my Ad earnings very less. Remember, the more people that visit your website, the more opportunities you have to cash in on their visits.
The site niche - The internet is the new Eldorado, and anyone want to learn how to make money online from this new technology. Also, more people will be online looking for work, and the better way to learn on how to make money online is through sites like this.
Affiliate Revenue, A Little UP
Affiliate is my second source of earn. Affiliate sales are increased a little in the least month of febrary with mixed success.
1. Traffic is up – While my traffic is up, are also increased the potential customer seeing my affiliate promotion.
There were a few quality affiliate programs that worked well, but I’m still looking for the perfect product that ‘fits’ with my audience.
Conclusion
I think that the internet will continue to grow, thus my tactics is to continue to spend my own time and energy into build my communities and large readerships, so when the advertisers return, my sites is ready.
