Income report - Well folks this is the last blog income and traffic report for 2011. The month of December has been somewhat of an odd month with us seeing both a major slump in traffic and a major slump in income as well.
You might be aware that we spent much of December removing many thin content posts with no traffic from the blog, as well as made improvements on many others with better SEO and much rewritten content. This is something which we’ll continue to do as throughout January to make the blog good for Google Panda.
We have seen a small recovery in traffic from the last two Panda updates and although progress is slow, it’s increasingm, but it’s also very early days. Samantha and I are looking at new strategies to not just improve the blog’s content but to also increase traffic. You can read more about our intensions with the blog traffic marketing strategies here.

Traffic
Ok let’s look at the traffic statistics for the Magnet4Marketing blog for December 2011.
Below you will see a comparison of November’s traffic to December’s which many people will probably say ‘well that’s not much of a decrease’; in which case I’d be happy with that. But as I said throughout the next three months we’ll be increasing traffic and sharing our strategies with you.
Income Report
Income throughout December is probably the most disappointing which proves that making money from blogging isn’t as easy as some might think. But if I had to be really honest I’m not that really bothered as the blog income is just an addition to my overall income generated from my online businesses. Here’s what we’ve made just from this blog –
Google AdSense – $90.27
Infolinks – $3.14
HostGator Affiliate $50.00
Shareasale $27.98
Total Income $171.39
A little different from November’s income of $839.51 and Octobers huge $1,130.16 but… I’m far from disheartened from the low income report for December because I know I can work to increase it, that’s what doing business online is all about right?
Ok, until next month’s traffic and income report, have a great January and happy blogging.
