Looking back, I’ve posted about one post a month in the last few months. A lot of things have happened in real life, like traveling to Japan. School going out for the summer which means my son needing watching for a few months. My video card going out, so upgrading my computer became necessary. Completely wiping my hard drive to install Windows Vista 64 ultimate(losing my blog backups). And so on and so forth.

Yes, yes I know not very good excuses for not keeping up this blog much, however real life does have more importance over whatever happens on my net life.  The interesting thing though is that even though I haven’t posted much recently, I still get a few visitors that come to this site via search engines to look up the couple of guides I wrote regarding farming World of Warcraft Gold, or farming Age of Conan gold.  Or even the Mana Potion story.  These visitors still add up, and though my traffic has died down quite a bit from not using Social Networks, I think I’ve made just about the same amount of money from ads/referrals.

The made money from Cashcrate post was able to get me another check in the mail.  The I made money from Squidoo blog post netted me some new referrals.  The Clickbank product about Whypark domain parking results post got me a sale, and I somehow managed to retain some Adsense revenue.  Talk about residual income.  Small income yes, but still some income nonetheless.

For 2007 it looks like I made about $1799.32 cents.

Not bad for part time blogging, and most of the time playing games. I couldn’t seem to win any money yet from Moola, but there seems to be people cashing out $10-20 daily. Most I’ve gotten to was about $5 or so before I started losing games. I think I’m just going to spin the daily wheel, and hope for some money that way instead. I’ll add Moola to the list of earnings when I receive payment, and not before though.

Selling gold from World of Warcraft via Sparter seems to be the way to go right now, but I do want to learn other ways of making money online. I wish Sparter had an affiliate referral program of sorts. I noticed I was getting some hits from an ip in China with a small time gold seller’s domain, which clicked on the Sparter exit links alot. I also now see them listing their rates now on Sparter so if I missed out on some major referral monies I’ll be very sad =P.

Cashcrate was a little surprise since I haven’t logged into it for over a month, and then out of the blue I get a notice saying a referral of mine has reached payout. Its nice to know that there’s passive ways of making money online too. Just let the search engines catch your Cashcrate reviews from these blogs to generate revenue. One thing I did notice though, the post that received a lot of attention was the Cashcrate check picture(it had the most referral exit clicks). It seems like more than anything people want to know if you’re actually going to receive a payment rather than the program itself. The previous post I made about Cashcrate didn’t get many referrals, but once the proof was up I got about 5 people who signed up within the week. I need to make a note of that when doing reviews of any site, to also include the payment proofs to convince more people to sign up under me.Clickbank was the result of an Adwords driven sale, and not one of the guide book links I had up on my old blog. I hope to replicate the sale by finding other products among their list. I spent about $3 dollars on Adwords to get the sale selling Valkor’s Gold Guide. However the search demand for it wasn’t as high as I’d hope. I need to learn more about keyword researching to make better Adword ads. The good thing though is that I’m in the black with that campaign.

So what can I do now to increase my monthly take. Lets see, I’ve joined up with Amazon, and planning on reapplying this blog to Azoogle now that its on its own host. I hear great things about Azoogle’s pay per lead programs so I’ll look into those as well. Also since I moved over to this domain, I’ve been able to add some 125×125 slots up on the top right. I plan to sell some of those slots as I get build more traffic and readers. Chris over at MattNutts(No not Matt’s Nuts) created a Blog ad market called Focial.com. Which is kind of like an Ebay style method of selling ads via bids. When I decide to sell another slot on there I’ll post about it here to let you all know. I even saw someone selling Entrecard credits on there. He’s even got a referral program starting up so get in before everyone else signs up. There’s currently a listing for a 125×125 ad space from a PR 4 blog for only $5/month bid last I checked.

In the mean while I’m starting to gett a little addicted to blogging so hopefully that means I’ll write some more posts. The busiest part of the season for my day job just finished up, so I should have a little more time after I get home from work to blog. Also I’ve been thinking about putting up a small arcade on this site, but that’s another day.

October Totals – $199.29
Sparter – $133.65
ClickBank – $49.32
CashCrate – $11.38
Adsense – $4.94 (blog/Whypark test combined)

Well I guess I did a lot better than last month, but I didn’t hit my goal of 20k gold like I was planning to. Mainly due to lack of diligence since I was tired after coming home from my job, and not logging into WoW to check the Auction House. I was only able to hit 14k gold before I decided to sell some off before the commission rates jumped in November. Also to get some extra spending money since Sparter will start paying out bi-monthly instead of nightly starting November. It looks like that there are many people cashing out now as the prices for WoW gold has dropped another $10/1k to $40/1k now.

My Adsense figures only show the totals of this blog due to Google’s channel reports being screwed up mid month right when I had a spike of visitors from Slashdot about the Bill Gates Denied Visa to Nigeria article.

I’ll be expecting my November totals to be lower however since I’ll be taking a vacation for a few weeks. Yes, I’ll be leaving my beautiful island of Maui to visit some friends out in Texas, and then onto Mexico. Anyone live down on Cozumel that I can come visit while I’m down there? Maybe hijack your computer so I can check my e-mail? Maybe install WoW so I can check my auctions? =)

Also why don’t you subscribe to my feed so that you’ll know when I post after my trip.

The game is currently in its beta form with the only way to play is to get an invite. Invites are easy enough to get though as you can go to the Moola forums, and request an invite. Members can also refer a limited amount of people over a period of time. I was going to release more information about the game here, but reading their terms and conditions I found that I may not do so. So you’ll just have to take my word for it about how addicting the game is. =)

If you would like to receive an invite to Moola you can follow the link below. Also if you do sign up under me, and would like me to post your referral link below mine in this thread please leave me a comment with your referral link. This way if I run out of invites you can get yourself a free referral. =)

Note: This offer is good for people in United States & Canada only.

Invitation to Moola

My only current recommendation to those of you who do place this referral link on their site is to also use the rel=”nofollow” in your referral link.
