February was a good learning curve for my money making experiment, despite some procrastination along the way.
January was all about being distracted by Edward Cullen in The Twilight collection of books and DVD and February’s’ distraction came from Bill Compton and Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood. This is the vampire story for the older generation with a lot more sex, violence and death by vampire attacks. And did I mention the sex? Glorious.
Anyway….. I have been busy creating more backlinks for the sites that I have bought and for quite a few of my hubpages.
This has consisted of writing countless articles and adding little snippets to sites like Xomba, Snipsly and SheToldMe.
I have invested some of my hard earned online cash in the newest article spinner on the block called The Best Spinner. It didn’t take too long to understand how to use it and I am happy to see that the articles I have been able to recreate have been accepted by ezinearticles with no problems.
At the moment I am only using the basic settings so I know that this tool can still do a whole lot more.
Evaluating My Websites
After doing a thorough evaluation of the sites I currently own, I know that I am doing the right things in order to get them onto the first page of Google. I now need to concentrate on picking keywords that have a higher search rate. This will lead naturally to higher earnings.
So to the interesting part, the breakdown of my earnings for February 2010.
Earnings This Month
Adsense earnings from Hubs = £49.60 last month = £39.51
Adsense earnings for Info barrels = £7.59 last month = £5.57
Adsense earnings from Free blogger blogs = £14.21 last month = £21.90
Adsense earnings from my Hosted sites = £51.81 last month = £42.13
Adsense earnings from Xomba & Snipsly = £2.27
Unknown earnings = £8.20
Total Adsense Earnings = £133.68 last month = £114.70
Making Money With Amazon
There has been a slight decrease in the commission earned via Amazon for February. I hope to be able to create more hubs and my own websites in order get these numbers up.
Total Earnings from Amazon this month =£68.29 last month = £73
Ideas For March
The month of March will see me continuing to create new websites. I will increase the amount of articles I produce for each site using the best spinner and try and attack keywords with a higher search rate.
I will still be producing several sites that may not make much money but are purely for fun. This is the only way to keep myself motivated.
Right – Time for the next True Blood episode, no I mean article writing…….

Another good set of figures here. Did you do much work which resulted in the earnings from Hubpages increasing so fast or was it due to changes in search patterns or something? The only reason I ask is because I had a massive increase in Adsense earnings this month and yet I did very little in the way of work. Also how many Hubpages, Infobarrels etc did you have (approximately if required) to make you this money.

Hi Bristolboy – thanks for the comment. I did do quite a bit of backlinking stuff for some of my hubs. I think a mixture of this as well as people starting to spend money after the Xmas period has helped to push earnings upwards.
At the moment I have about 250 hubs and about 100 info barrels. Quite a lot of them are complete rubbish as I really didn’t know what I was doing in the beginning. (click through rate for Info barrel is abysmal – as you can see from the earnings. Its certainly not my friend – now only used for backlinks) I just wanted to see if I could churn out content and gave very little thought to keywords and traffic etc.
Hopefully I am getting better and will see the numbers increase from here onwards.
Were your blogger blogs made as support (backlinks) to your other sites, or just stand alone sites? Your earnings for blogger don’t seem to bad.

Hi Carrie
Thanks for stopping by.
A couple of the blogger blogs were created in order to test keywords and to practice putting together a niche site for free while the rest are support blogs.
I then decided that since I was paying for hosting I would just go ahead and spend the £5-6 for a domain name in order to get my results quicker.
I haven’t actually put together a blogger blog for a few months now so the earnings really are passive, which is great.
