    My blog gethistuff[dot]blogspot[dot]com is becoming a way to test if it's possible to make money online with a blog.

    You can follow me daily from the start and see how it evolves.

    If you want to, you can suggest forms to monetize the blog and see together if it works. And if you want that I write about something, ask for them and I will write it!


    It's time to Update the stats of the blog, Let's see:

    Last Week

    Visits: 169
    Pageviews: 751

    This Week

    Visits: 230
    Pageviews: 614

    Review

    I had an increment of 39% in visits but an decrement of 18% in Pageviews.

    Why this -18%? I notice that the returning visitors saw more pages the last week that this week.

    For a new blog it's very good this increment of 39%. The last days I had an daily increment of the 100% so I expect that the next week the increment would be higer.

    Now I have more visits from searches engines.
    The alexa world ranking of the last week was 9,050,603 and today is 7,380,245, good increment too.

    What I did this week?

    1 - Follow the traffic tips that I have posted this days ago

    2 - Promote the posts in Facebook, Twitter and Digg.

    3 - Create backlinks of my posts with SocialMonkee.

    4 - Make a research on keywords and improve it.

    5 - Write a big article about a SEO Guide for Beginners and promote it in Social Networks, Blog Carnivals, Forums and Article submission. I still promoting this article.

    Total Stats

    In the 3 weeks of life of my blog, I have:

    Visits: 516
    Pageviews: 2,089

    Total Earnings

    Adsense: $5.45
    Infolinks: $0.23
    Ymads: $0.59

    Total: $6.27

    I will stay telling you what I do to improve GeThistuff and make it a success blog.

    What do you think about my stats?

    If you have a successful blog I would like to know what do you think.
    I'm doing it well?

    Why are you on blogspot, nobody is going to follow a blog spot blog. Get a self hosted .com wordpress blog and step up your game. Either that or quit the complaining threads.

    I think that you're doing well for just 3 weeks. I'll have to give SocialMonkee a try. I keep hearing great things about this social bookmarking software.

    Thanks Carla.

    Yes, in my experience SocialMonkee works good. And with their referral
    program, giving them 12 persons, they upgrade you account to Premium. Then
    you can get 300 backlins per day.

    I have 11 persons right now.

    That's pretty good for a new blog and that too for a blog hosted on blogger. Good work. Continue it and you will see much better results in the due course of time.

    There's people doing over $1m a year with blogging so I can tell you now that it's possible to make money blogging, or is this some kind of PR self plug stunt for some extra hits?

    Hi Seqqa, yes, there are people doing money with their blogs but I know that they spend money to get money. Like I said, I'm trying do it WITHOUT spend money.
    Do you have something against me? becouse it's what it seems.

    I'm honest. I'm new in online marketing. And of course that I want visits with the posts and all the stuff that I do to promote my blog, becouse that is what we all do. Or you don't do it?.

    I can tell you that right now you are seeking extra hits too, doing controversial and ironic replies. That is marketing.

    Anyway if you don't like what I write, don't read it. It's simple. Keep for you the irony because it's useless.

    I think your income from adsense is quite nice for .blogspot blog. I have blogger custom domain blog and have revenue about $50-70/month from adsense...

    Hi fiqih. Looks good that income from adsense. How long has your blog? If you think that you can earn more, maybe you should try adsense alternatives.
