I remember a while back when i jumped on the stumblecards 'episode' my lovely little blog here at Cult Press was labeled as just another 'blog out to make money through advertising'. This has been at the back of my mind for some time, and although i am not updating this site much at all these days and focusing all my efforts in surviving as a struggling designer its still been bothering me.
The truth is i've not even looked at how much money i had made from the google adsence on my site let alone drawn in a second income. The site (was) ran for sheer enjoyment, i'm a big geek, i worked in the licensing industry for over 5 years designing and working on some of the worlds largest brands, i met some amazing people and workedwith even more talented people, this was just... me satisfying the geek inside us all.
So i thought i would share with you profitable this site is.. wait for it, its pretty impressive.
Content = Page Impressions = 46,692 = 138 clicks = $18.23
Search = Queries 70 = Clicks = 7 = $1.57
A massive $19.80 sits in my google account.
So there you have it, some people run (ran) sites for fun you know!
Amazon and Tradedoubler just spam you with emails and i've earnt about 30p off them.
