Monthly Stats Report, September 2008
September was a good month for Moneybites dot com. Perhaps even one of the best in the history of the website. Without further ado, here are the stats:
Stats
Monthly Unique Visitors: 6,808 Unique Visitors
Old numbers: 5,510 Unique Visitors
RSS: 293 readers
Old numbers: 189 readers
Technorati Rank: 17,094
Old rank: 19,598
Alexa Rank: 79,280
Old rank: 90,438
Monthly Revenue for this blog: $574.91
Ad and review sales: $160
Affiliate commission: $414.91
RSS and Traffic
This month saw a great increase in all fields. My RSS shot up over 100 readers! This is because I turned on the Feedburner Feedsmith Plugin to find all of my readers that may not be accounted for (that alone jumped my feed around 45). Also, all my other stats went in a positive direction. So, I hope to keep that trend up this month and have another amazing month for Moneybites dot com.
Earnings
It was another good month in terms of earnings. I set an new all time record in money brought in from ad and review sales as well as affiliate commissions. For the ad sales, this is due to a general raise in prices while the demand stayed steady. If you are sold out constantly you should definitely think about raising prices. You can always drop them again, and hey you may make quite a bit more 
MarketLeverage continues to be a top earning in affiliate commissions bringing in nearly all of that $414.91. Once again, this proves the power of passive income from referring people. My earnings goal for next month is to break $600 so, let’s see if I can do it!

Yea. Nice stats! Especially your income. I really wish Market Leverage would let me sign up with them!
Tom - StandOutBlogger.coms last blog post..Sunday Question: Comments - Auto Approve or Approve Individually?
Have they told you that you can’t?
Just finished signing up for Copeac, quite a complicated process
Add on those points!
Danny Coopers last blog post..Technorati - A Good Measure of Link Popularity?
Good stuff mate! Just a quick question, is your Market Leverage commission mostly ‘referral commission’ ?
Ben - frogstr.coms last blog post..The frog loves you
Yeah, all of it is…
I’d like to take that question a step further..Is that just from people signing up through your banner advertisements or have you actively promoted them in a post in the past?
Danny Coopers last blog post..Technorati - A Good Measure of Link Popularity?
I have done both, they buy that banner ad space, and I have promoted them via reviews because I like them as a company..
Oh cool, that’s nice that they’re buying ad space on some of the smaller blogs, they might buy an ad one mine one day

He also promoted them through 2 challenges he had on this site, which is why I signed up through him.

Congrats, Mattaw!
It is good to see progress for bloggers. It encourages all of us to keep moving on.
To add to the questions about Market Leverage, I just recently started promoting, how long have you been with the program?
Hey Mattaw!
Just another question about MarketLeverage.
I signed up with them through you when you ran through affiliate challenges. Do you think you’re going to run more of those so you can reward your refferals and encourage them to make more, in turn making you and ML more?
Tushar Dhoots last blog post..Double or Nothing
There will definitely be more of those in the future, probably after this contest another will come with bigger prizes than the last 2
You should do a Q&A we’ve all got questions we’re dying to ask you.
Danny Coopers last blog post..What’s on Your RSS Reader?
I’m into Copeac mate!
Even filled out the tax form.
Do we get 5 entries regardless of getting accepted or not?
Tushar Dhoots last blog post..Double or Nothing
Everyone will get accepted (and should), so everyone should get 5 entries.
Hey, Congrats on the awesome stats!!! One day I’ll get there I hope.
Just signed up for Copeac, look forward to seeing what they’re all about.
