I am pretty close to hitting my goal for the end of April. No, I am not hitting $50 days…yet but the overall earning potential is there. My adsense earnings for March was $840.28. My adsense income for February was $478.45. That is about $361.00 more than February’s earnings. I just need to hit 1k a month by the end of April to replace my alimony so that I can continue to stay home and work full time on my IM business.
Now as far as my other affiliate sales, I did $244.66 in affiliate sales. $99.58 of that was from my 2nd niche blog that is still sitting on page 3 but at least the earnings are coming back up.
So grand total of monthly income is $1055.10. I am pretty proud of that. It’s almost double from what I earned last month.
I think its safe to say that a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have been on edge since February freaking out about how am I going to make up for the alimony loss. Especially in today’s job market and as a single parent, I don’t have a significant other to comfort me and offer support. I’m on my own. But this is a huge relief and I can sleep well at night knowing I am gonna make it. I will continue to build back links to my sites and add content. I’m not celebrating with a trip to DisneyLand just yet though. I am sticking to my guns about $50 a day with that one. I know its just around the corner though.
Now for the Blog Blueprint 1 week update. It’s been 1 week since I posted my first blog posts on Blog Blueprint for the following sites.
Testing site: #100
Back Links at first posting date: 0
Current back links: 5
Currrent Rank: Not even indexed (8 days old WTH???), now #11
Blog posts on BB linking back to main webpage url: 6
Testing site: #101
Back Links at first posting date: 1 (Mister-wong)
Current back links: 1 still from mister-wong
Rank: #16 and 6 days old, now is #22
Blog posts on BB linking back to main webpage url: 3
Testing site: #102
Back Links at first posting: 1 (Mister-wong)
Current back links: 8 (1 from mister-wong still)
Currrent Rank: sandboxed
and 6 days old, was indexed 2 days ago and was #9 but today it is #5
Blog posts on BB linking back to main webpage url: 23
I think its pretty obvious that pointing more of the blog posts to one url is the most effective. I’ve been spreading the love but I think I should just focus on doing maybe 20 posts a day to the main page then the next day submitting another 20 to an inner page instead of sending smaller amounts of posts to inner pages.
edit: Sorry I had to change my monthly earnings to a bit more because I posted this before the end of the day for March 31, 2010 and I ended with almost another $30 earned for the month.












Woot, congratulations! Those are some excellent numbers!

Hi Ruth! Ty! Yes, I hope I have something really great to report for April.
Congratulations Sara. I am curious about your April news. It is only April 1st too! Things are looking good and I know you’ll have great results.
Have you checked your linkracer results lately?
For the press releases, did some of the sites stop anchor text from the original report?

Hi Deb,
The Link Racer back links are still not showing up in SEO Spyglass. However; I can see that with one of my first submissions, the article is indexed and can be found on 17 different blogs in the network and then there are 1700 instances of the article found where it was once a related post etc.
Yes, the thing I found with Daniel’s WSO is that about 4 of the sites listed were no good. I just used Scrapebox to find more free high PR sites and added those to my list for my outsourcer. My outsourcer would attempt to post to them and tell me if there were any problems. After doing this testing for about 4 submissions, I had compiled a decent list of about 30 sites. So, just a few more than Daniel’s.
Hi Sara!
Congrats on the work so far and for getting close to your goal! I picked up Daniel’s WSO from your suggestion a few days ago, but I haven’t written a PR yet. That is what I was going to get to today!
Would you mind sharing what sites on his list are not good, and possibly share your “good” list with me? You can email it to me at the email I’m using to comment on your blog. I’d really appreciate it, thanks!
Congrats Sara!! Thanks for all the information/knowledge you are passing through your blog
Thanks Nivas. I am glad I can be resourceful. lol
Wow, good work. It feels good to finally see all your hard work pay off. Keep it up and i’m sure you income will continue to rise.

Thanks Fabian. I am very proud of my hard work. Its a nice reminder that there is no quick method to earning money online but perseverance sure does pay off.
Very nice to read about your progress, very inspiring! I’ve recently also picked up blog blueprint and would be very interested in an update on your results with that, any chance?
