Traffic and RSS

As you can see our unique visitors dropped over 4,000 this month. This is because I cut out a lot of my StumbleUpon traffic as well as a bit of the Mixx traffic in order to bring the average time on the website as well as the pages/view up. As a result there are less people per day coming to the site but the quality of the visitor is up. Our Alexa is also finally climbing back up. I hope it will break 125k by the end of this month (July). Our Technorati fell slightly for some reason but I expect to see it bounce back shortly. RSS wise there was slow positive growth that will hopefully continue throughout this month as well.

Earnings

This month the blogs earnings skyrocketed. Private ad sales stayed the same but the ral difference was the affiliate commissions. There were a few miscellaneous affiliate commissions that totalled $48 earnings for this blog. The other source was the MarketLeverage affiliate program. My affiliates made me a whopping $64.86 this month. Hopefully you guys can keep it up in July and keep earning! Next month I will hopefully build on this income and bring it up to $200 for the month.

Wrap-Up

Although the month was slightly slower than I would have liked in traffic terms, the earnings made up for it. The blog is turning a profit and that is always a good thing. Thank you to everyone for being a Moneybites reader and I will continue to enjoy hearing from you guys as I publish more content
