    For those of you that know football(NFL), June is definitely one of the "dry" periods for football news. The draft has already passed, training camp isn't until late July, and the season is still a few months away. From January to April, I was averaging about $50 a month. It slowly started to die down in May, and then the beginning of June wasn't the greatest.

    From June 1st to June 22nd, I made a total of $23.98, a little over a dollar a day. On June 23rd, I finally implemented several more Adsense techniques based on suggestions I've seen here at DP the past few months. To my pleasant surprise, from June 23rd until today(June 29th), I've made a total of $43.12, an average of $6.16 per day :D I'm only averaging 541 page impressions too...

    The pages that get about 95% of my clicks are my news pages, so here's an example: http://www.pfcritics.com/news101/TampaBaySignsQBJayFiedler.php

    Old Way: I used to have the large rectangle on the right side of the middle section, and that's it. The news story started on the left side of the middle section.
    New Way: Now, I have the large rectangle on the left side. I also added the image bar to the left of the ads, which change depending on which team the news is about(and thus, relates to the ads typically as well). Also, below the news story, I've added the AdLinks bar.

    Take these winnings for what they're worth :D I am dreaming about the fact of attaining more traffic(especially as the season/training camp nears), because I feel my CPM is fairly high...

    Thanks for reading...any comments would please me :p

    That is awesome news! With more traffic you should be making a killing. What is your CTR around?

    I know Google still has the rule about revealing CTR. I'm not sure if telling an "estimate" of my CTR is the same, but I'd rather not risk it :)
