Second Month Report!
November is over now and I´m happy to show you my second month report on my progress with the Making Money Experiment. Unfortunately I haven´t earned as much as in October, but I hope I managed to get my blog working better for me in the future, because I´ve done some promotion like building backlinks or advertising that´ll keep me getting more visitors and therefore more money.
My Novembers progress was more characterized by promoting my blog than making money from it (nevertheless, I´ve earned some bucks ;). I felt it was more import to actual make my blog a bit more popular than focusing only on my earnings. I also wanted to give my readers some more “eye-candy”, so I ´ve developed a new blog design some days ago, because the old one was too ugly (yes, I really hated it 
Compared to my earnings in October, which were 18 Dollars, the November earnings are somewhat lower, I´ve only earned 13 Dollars. Now here comes the earnings statistic:
| Triond: | $1.05 |
|---|---|
| myLot: | $0.01 |
| Adbux: | $0.10 |
| Wordlinx: | $0.89 |
| Bux: | $2.30 |
| Adcash: | $0.09 |
| Linkgrand: | $0.12 |
| Legitbux: | $0.12 |
| Clixsense: | $0.50 |
| Subvert and Profit: | $3.50 |
| Hits4Pay: | $0.28 |
| Advercash: | $0.69 |
| Titanclicks: | $0.25 |
| Helium: | $0.29 |
| Blogsvertise: | $2.00 |
| Take the Internet Back: | $0.95 |
| Fair Ads Network: | $0.18 |
The top money makers this month were Subvert and Profit, Bux, Blogsvertise, Wordlinx and Triond. These programs actual bring me some nice bucks each month, you can also check out my article on my best paying programs, there you can find more information if you want to.
Let me explain 2 new additions to this list that I didn´t have mentioned in one of my posts so far. The first money making opportunity I´ve found was Take the Internet Back. This program pays you for simply reading some advertiser emails (if you´ll join you´ll also get a $10 signup bonus). You´ll also get a share of the evolving company that stands behind TTIB while collecting points for each email you read. The whole process for making money with them is somewhat stupid in my opinion, usually you get around 5 to 10 emails each day in your inbox, which you have to confirm by clicking a link at the end of the mails text. There´s no timer, so you can simply click every link and you´re done, it takes only a minute or so. But as long as they pay you for doing this, it wouldn´t be a problem 
The second addition was Fair Ads Network, a program like Google Adsense that let you show some ads on your blog. When anybody clicks on those ads, you´ll get paid. I won´t go too deep into the details here because I´ll write a review of FAN within the next days, for now all I can say is, that they offer a great service and it´s very unlikely that you´ll getted banned from this program like say from Google Adsense (I´ll explain later in one of my posts).
This month I got around 800 unique visitors to my blog, including around 150 returning visitors. My visitors come from all around the world like the USA, UK, Romania, Australia, Israel, Brazil… I really like how wide-spread my blog is visible around the world (I think this will keep me reaching my goals).
Unfortunately my Google Pagerank is still at zero (I´m waiting for the next update), but my Alexa rating keeps increasing (it´s now around 1,100,000). I also see a slowly increase in my daily traffic rates from search engines, it seems my blog got indexed better since I released my new blog design, because I´ve also done some search engine optimization to get higher ranking in the search results.
All in all I think I can reach my goal in getting $100, there are 4 month left and I´ve already earned around $30. Even if I only get around 15 Dollars for each of the next months, I´ll can pay for one year webhosting with my own domain.
This is the end of my second month report and I want to thank all my readers for visiting my blog and leaving some valuable comments on my posts. Special thanks go to my friend Midwest from My PPC Advertising, who helped me alot with his great posts on his blog, feel free to have a look at it.
Have some nice days!

Good day Querblogger,
How are you? I’ve just read your post about November’s earnings and I believe that you’ve earned some good bucks. I mean, $13 aren’t bad at all. Tomorrow I’ll release my income report too and I’m really curios to see how much I’ve earned per total, as I haven’t summed up all my earnings till now.
I was thinking on how to improve our blog’s traffic stats even better..What else should we try, besides social bookmarking websites, forums and bloggers communities? I would really like to reach 100 visitors/day ( I know, that’s an evil thought, but I do believe that you want the same ).
Oh and by the way, would you like to be interviewed by me and have your interview posted on my blog?
Salutations and Good Night,
Midwest ( PS: Thanks for mentioning me in this post

Hi Midwest,
I´m fine. You´re right, $13 isn´t too bad after only two month in making money online. Sure, I´ll have to learn everyday and find the best opportunities out there.
And I think reaching 100 visitors a day isn´t too hard, so far I get around 25 each day with a steady trend upwards and I must admit that I´m a fairly new blogger. Content is king in my opinion, that´s what search engines like a lot and therefore bring you more readers. So, the longer your blog is online and the more content you´ll have, it´s only a matter of time to see your daily traffic increase (maybe beyond “only” 100 visitors).
And yes, I´m definitely interested in an interview posted on your blog! Feel free to contact me about this. I´m also willing to interview you, maybe we can do some kind of co-interview?!
Have a nice weekend and a good night!

Hey,
You’re right, content is the king and this will definitely improve our traffic, over the next weeks and months. I’m confident that we’ll be able to hit 100 visitors/day in a relatively short period of time, as I already get about 50 ( so I only need 50 more:) We have to be patient and continue our work and we will start earning some real money with this blogs and will have some good traffic too ( and Page Rank:)
I will contact you as soon as possible, regarding the interview. I just have to think at a few questions to ask you. Once I’m done, I will send them over to you, so you can answer them.
I’m very interested in being interviewed by you, too, so just let me know when you want to interview me and shoot me an email;) We can try a co-interview, to see how it worked.
Have fun this weekend and have a good night too,
Midwest

Nice award, Querblogger. I wonder who gave it to you?;) Next time, I’ll look for the “Evil Blogger Award”, as I think it matches your blog.
Regards,
Midwest
