Why Your Blog Ad Revenue Might Be Lower and other Blog Summaries
I suspect that most people that read this blog more than likely already read Darren Rowse's excellent ProBlogger.net blog, whose content I always try to supplement instead of re-treading. But some of you may not know about JenSense.
Jen does a fine job of covering the various and sundry issues related to specific blog advertising programs, most particularly Google AdSense, but also YPN (Yahoo! Publishers' Network), Chitika eMinimalls and more. Again, I always try to supplement what my favourite bloggers are doing instead of (intentionally) re-treading topics. So I'll point you at her latest post, about why blog ad revenues may be down during holidays.
By the way, I've noticed that, since most of my traffic is American and Canadian, that holidays do affect my pageviews/puny revenue. However, on the start of the next business day, I often see a small spike equivalent to what I've lost during the holiday period. This is why I've learned not to worry about short-term fluctuations and concentrate on the long-term. (I'll show you how to do it that in a near-future post.)
Speaking of Darren Rowse, his latest post talks about the experience some bloggers are having of seeing reduced referrals from the Google search engine. He provides very thorough suggestions about what to do and not do about it.
Darren is part of b5media.com, and new "small" blog network that recently under went small merger, bringing b5media's tally to 50 blogs or so. Darren's cohort, Duncan Riley, is still running his 100 blogs in 100 days feature. If you feel your blog is up to snuff to stand up to reader's reviews if Duncan profiles you, go request that your blog be considered. But hurry. There are only about 36 days left.
