September was really an exciting month for me. Crossed few targets, joined a well waited money making program, sudden traffic increase, slight drop in earnings during middle of the month and finally it was an active month. I’m happy to say I crossed $2000 monthly income mark just with only ad networks. Let me share the details of September income report, some blog achievements, difficulties and learning.
The below income report is mainly from my main tech blog www.sysprobs.com, this time the current DailyBlogMoney did not contribute much except the balance payment for blogging service and around 12$ from Google adsense.
Yes, I crossed 2000$ mark, my targeted income was slightly lesser than this, but I achieved more than what I targeted in September. The net blog income for September is $ 2098.67, compared to previous month income ($ 1756.59), September was with 19% increase rate which was more than I expected.
I share my blog income with you for few reasons,
1) I get motivation and enthusiasm to work harder to achieve more in next month.
2) Definitely you will get some motivations and interest in blogging. Instead of saying ‘I make money in blogging’, I feel this way really encourage others and me.
3) You get some ideas, real life difficulties, experience from other money making programs and suggestions too.
OK, Here is the breakdown,
Google Adsense – 1169.20
Infolinks – 50.91
Contextweb CPM – 355.79
Technorati CPM – 57.15
Amazon Associate – 87.90
Pixazza – 93.72
Vibrant Media – 178
BuySellAds – 56
Blogging Service (Half Payment) – 50
Total – 2098.67
Things I wanted to Share
As I said in my earlier income report, I applied to join two major money making programs.
Because of I applied for above two networks, I removed the Infolinks and two ad slots from Contextweb CPM. This removal effected my income for one week considerably.
Why I removed?
The applications will be reviewed manually and someone from these companies will visit my blog, if my site already filled up with ads and in-text ads, then there are less possibility to get approval.
Finally, none of the company responded for my application after one week. I was really disappointed because I’m sure my site is meeting their minimum requirement. So, I contacted them regarding my application. Tribal fusion responded me that my site is not meeting the requirement. I will write in a new post for this confusion.
After searching about Vibrant media’s application approval process in Google, I found out it is not easy to get approval even though your site in meeting 500,000 PVs monthly. Luckily, I found out the direct contact email for an account manager in Vibrant media, contacting him and reapplying to their program helped me to get in to their system. Vibrant Media In-text ads are great and the earning is very good. You can expect one more post in coming days about Vibrant media ads and how to get approval.
Google Adsense
Nothing to say, my top and favorite money making program. First time it crossed 1000$ monthly mark and I have seen 75$ earning in a day. Really I’m excited about it, because you know how hard is to make money with adsense.
Holiday season is coming up, October, November especially December will be great for adsense publishers. So, prepare and make your blogs ready to increase the revenue during this time. Stay tuned with DailyBlogMoney to get tips on how to prepare your blog for holiday season to maximize the revenue.
Contextweb
This is another great network pays me well. Even though I removed their two ad slots for one week, but still I managed to get the ever high income from Contextweb CPM by changing asking price.
More readings,

Vibrant Media
I’m using their In-text ads in my site. It works like Infolinks. So, I removed Infolinks currently. Infolinks made $ 50 in 13 days, whereas Vibrant media made $ 178 in 9 days. You can see the difference in earnings. I don’t say Infolinks is bad, but when you have more than 500,000PVs and good traffic from USA and Europe countries, then Vibrant media will be a best option to increase the revenue.
Other All Networks
As usual some ups and downs. Affiliate networks did not work for me this time.
I’m planning for some promotions and niche sites in this October month.
What’s Your Say?
I’m sure most of you had good time with Google adsense and other ad networks, just share your experience. How much you have made? how about your traffic stats?
I’m not a blogger who woke up one day and started blog suddenly to make this much money. It was quite long and painful journey, I have spent huge amount of time on blogging and writing posts. So, take things positively what ever happens now, just keep some long term plan in our mind and work towards it.
Work hardly and smartly!
Good luck friends.
Congrats on your achievement Dinesh!….. Your blog stats are inspiring….

@Gayan,
Thanks, nothing secret or any special mantra. Just spending some time and writing articles about specif topic, that’s it.
Once you start getting good traffic, then try other money making programs and increase the revenue.
Your topic ‘Linux’ may get less CPC because no one out there to advertise or bid on ‘Linux’ topic since its a free and open source product, I guess so..
dude .. No words to explain .. Fabulous !!! Mind Blowing !!!
Keep it up … All the best ..
Wow ! Wow ! No words for you bro ! Yup , congrats for achieving the mark of 2000 dollars ! And please write a review about Vibrant Media !

Awesome stats again, Dinesh. It’s great to see you reach a new milestone. I’m still struggling with the $1,000 mark and feel it is very difficult. I am trying to word harder this month.

@Tuan, Yes, crossing these 1000 marks is not very easy. In fact, maintaining the same level itself is difficult.
Good luck, I’m sure your will reach 2000 very soon.
Thankd Dinesh.
Your blog posts here are great inspirations for my to continue my way. At least, I believe we can still can make decent money from blogging. Looking forward to your shares and experience.

can you write an review about Technorati CPM like

minimum site requirements
and the list of procedures……
in the upcoming post
Is it? anyhow, I’m from Sri Lanka, so its more than what you said
. But, I live in different country now where everything is expensive compared to Sri Lanka or India.
Joining Technorati CPM is not very difficult, but its a manual process. You fill up the form, they review your site, if its OK then they will send the ad tag codes to your email.
Temporally from October month, I stopped their ads. Their CPM rate felt down very much. So, I decided to use that ad space for something else.
Anyhow, surely I will write about them in coming posts.
thank
Great earnings. I can’t dream of that much earnings from a single blog. Awesome.
Keep up the good work

Thanks Mahesh, nice to hear.
Mr. Dinesh very good idea to keep readership on the name of inspiration
i just checked your sysprobs.com stats and it’s impossibe to make this money in one month.
you hardly get 5000-8000 unique visitor …. on sysprobs
and aroynd 1500-3000 unique visitors on dailyblogmoney
with 1500-3000 you make $12 , and with 5000-8000 you make $2000+… what a joke ..
write real things instead of these f***ing statements. ( i know you will not approve this comment that’s ok, i just wanted to tell you people are not mad as you think).
pankaj, you are right
i know dinesh’s income reports is too far from his real income, i think he just wanted to attract more new bloggers to his blog 
new bloggers don’t know whats the reality…behind blogging. i just come through google to this blog..whose write is trying his best to make other fool.

@priya, and @pankaj gupta, ( I know these are not your real names and both comments are left by same person)
My friend, if you are in blogging or interest in internet or a good person, do not leave comments like this.
First of all, you left the both comments in same computer or place.
Check here,
http://www.dailyblogmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/spam-comment.png
Second thing, no one can get the correct page views or unique visitors of others’ blog. I don’t know from where you got this stats, its completely wrong. Without I add their monitoring codes or software in my blog, how it will get my blog’s stats?.
It clearly says your are zero in blogging or how internet works.
Instead of doing these types of spam and fool stuff on others blog, go and do something productively.
Good luck for you
Hello Dinesh , you are right while saying that every stats showing sites are worthless and does not show the correct stats . Apart from , their comment does not deserve to be here bro .
@ Pankaj & Priya @ You should not tell the things which you really don’t know . Apart from that , SysProbs is also a publisher of BuySellAds and Dinesh have already added their codes on his blog . So , they may show the correct statistics of his blog . Just click on the unsold ad slots , then you will be able to see the total number of impressions that his blog generates .

@Jayanthi Ravichandran,
Thanks and happy to hear that my post did the purpose. Good luck.
I like your style of approving even negative and false comments. I think you have done right thing by approving those comments.
Your income reports seems genuine by seeing Google adplanner statistics of your sysbrobs site. Hope you continue to inspire bloggers who are new to blogging. Also don’t get discouraged by spammers who try to blame you. Keep your spirit to help bloggers who visit your site for some real stuff which can’t be find some where else.
@Naresh Bharat,
Thanks a lot for your comment. I will keep writing and sharing my experience with you and all new bloggers. The spam comments do not discourage me, in fact it encourage me to proof my self that I’m 100% correct.
My main aim to start this blog is to share my experience with others and help them to success in blogging. If you trust me and follow at least on tip from my blog, that’s enough for me.
Good luck and keep visiting.
Congrats Dinesh!! You really motivate and inspire me to work hard to earn more through blogging..
Happy Blogging

Thanks

Javin @ How to set ClassPath for Java recently posted..Override hashCode in Java example – Tutorial
@Javin,
Thanks for the comment.
Tribalfusion should be a good CPM network with higher CPM rate – this is what I learned from other blogs and bloggers, so I tried, but they need minimum 500,000 unique visitors monthly which I don’t have currently.
3 Contextweb ad slots are allowed in one page, you can start with reasonable ask price which is higher than current ad network for particular slot, then increase the ask price depends on the fill rate and the performance of backup tag.
Is my reply useful?
Indeed, Ask price is tricky and currently I don’t have any good backup program to set because context-web is only shows ads on US. Can you also suggest some other CPM network man other than technorati.
Thanks

Wow, congratulations you’ve made a lot of money especially from adsense. Your article is a motivation for me, especially after one of my blogs penalized by google and I have to start from scratch.
But what about your strategy, such as how you choose the topic, and link building will you share with me?

Aziz@techpcnews recently posted..AVG Free Antivirus 2012 Offline Installer
I followed a simple strategy initially,
Write a valuable article, then search in Google who talks the same or similar thing, visit their articles and leave valuable comment with back link to my blog. This worked very well for me.
Thanks for you reply
I understand, you write good quality articles and then build backlinks from other blogs that discuss the same topics.
Another question, what about the anchor text whether you use keywords as anchor text or not?
thanks in advance

pradeep recently posted..RIP Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs
Starting and running a blog is easy, but as you said making money from it is a difficult task. It needs hardworking.
People think just publishing 10 to 20 articles with correct interval will get traffic and money, but its not. If making money from internet is that much easy, then most of the people would have left their office work and sit at home and started making money front of computer.
Now, you would feel the difficulties in making money from blog, but once you establish well with a steady income, then you are one of the luckiest person in this world
Good luck.
Well Said Dinesh, Nice to know that you crossed 2K $

Hope I will earn like you in atlest 2 years ( long time ah ?

Thats awesome man! I m making $ 5 every month woohoo! I could really use your help. I m a student and write a blog to help other students. Don’t know how to get more people to visit and buy stuff. I just have Amazon associate account. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jag recently posted..Rough, depressing week
Making students to buy something could be a difficult task. Targeting students is good idea but do it globally. I don’t know you are from which country, but target all country students. Also, what ever you write, make sure its a profitable content. (like some advertisers are out there to advertise their product relevant to your content…)
So, you can make some money. You have to think in this direction also except only write to help other students.
Got my point?
Oh and for some reason…google adsense blocked me…Won’t tell me y?

Congrats Dinesh. That’s a lot of money. Not so easy in Germany.
How many time do you spend on your blogs per week?
Thanks.
Not only in Germany but also everywhere its difficult to make money
I think when you have a blog not in English, I think it will be a tough job. What do you think?
I’m still a part time blogger with full time (8 to 6) job for 5 days. Also a family man, so 2 days weekend goes with them. Hardly I find time nowadays for blogging, that’s why late in reply your comment also. If you need exact stat, I think I may spend average 2 hours daily for blogging.
I spent lot of time blogging but i have not seen good return on it. How can i get a keyword to target and start earning?
Btw congratulation!
