February 2008 Recap
I hope you didn't think I forgot about my favorite time of the month -- recap time. As if I would let the monthly status update go by.
This month was definitely a good one for me personally. I learned a lot that I will be sharing with you in March, but for now, let's go over the blog stats:
- Private Ad Sales - $22.56
- Google AdSense - $22.23
- Referrals - $9.47
- Aweber Signups - $7.98
- Adtoll Clicks - $0.21
- Amazon Book Commission - $0.10 (Hey, it counts!)
For a grand total of $62.55!
The blog income almost more than tripled this month. Not to mention we had a total of 8,646 page views from 3,993 unique visitors. Also, the site is currently ranked at 117,407 on Alexa and has 267 RSS Subscribers. Having started the blog three months ago, I really can't complain. I'm just thrilled that I can help people for free and profit at the same time.
Oh hey, and just for you visual learners, I made up a comparison graph for the last three months:

So as far as February 2008 is concerned, I'm a happy camper. I do know that in March 2008, I'll have to work even harder to push the envelope for this blog. The better the blog gets, the happier you are and the happier you are, the happier I am.
Blog Goals for March 2008:
- $100+ Income
- 100,000 or lower Alexa Rank
- 400 RSS Subscribers
- 8,000 Unique Visitors
- 15,000 Page Views
So based on this month's stats, the blog made $0.015 per unique visitor. Taking that into account for next month's goals, the blog should make around $120. >:) If that ever happens, I suppose I should put ATB on a faster server. Right now, HostGator is great for the money. I mean, I pay $50/month for a ton of space and bandwidth that's hard to beat. But in the end, it's still a shared server environment, so I have to keep that in mind.
All that aside, February was a great month (with an extra day! thanks leap year.) and I hope March is even better. I plan to do a few remarkable things this month to help you guys out, so stay tuned.

Hey Scott,
Congrats! Nice revenue growth on your chart there.
It was nice chatting with you yesterday (supertikitikiman). BTW, I checked my stats this morning to find that I made my very first PPC conversions too.
cheers,
Pete

We all have to start somewhere. You are doing pretty well for only 3 months.

I am sure you can hit the $100 mark next month!

Nice work on your blog earnings so far. I think I might of actually helped you achieve that $.10 from Amazon!

@Tom Beaton: Thanks. Yeah, I’m pretty happy with the start of the blog. It’s microscopic in comparison to my aff marketing income but it makes me happy that people like the blog.
@KC TAN: That’s the goal! I’m planning on doing a couple of guest blogs in high places, so hopefully that will help.
@ClarkeW: Like I said, every little bit helps. I hope that book helped you, btw.
