I started this blog a year ago encouraged by John Chow’s blog (Johnchow.com). His blog is full of advertisement. Frankly speaking I don’t really like to read his post.

A lot of them are advertisement, pay per post. But John Chow discloses how much money he makes on his blog the first day every month. That was the only thing that attracts me to come back to his site. He reported that he had made more than 30K in January, 2008. That could be someone’s salary for an entire year. That was amazing.

I run my blog for over a year now. It is my experiment to see whether serious money can be made by blogging and I also use my blog as a venue to express myself. I didn’t post every day and am not good at writing. I work a fulltime job as SQL server Developer/DBA and don’t have time to blog every day. So my blog was not doing well. However I do see my blog is getting more visitors every month and my blog is making me money but very little. I guess I can be just like John, disclose my blog income and traffic number once a while and hopefully you can come back, participate some of the discussions and see how this blog grows.

So here is the blog’s traffic and income number

I make 26 bucks last month.

The above screen shot I show is Google adsense income report. One of the reasons that my blog is making so little money is that I only use adsense to monetize the blog. I have seen some other blogs that have less traffic then me but make a couple hundred dollars. So one of my goals this year for the blog is to increase my CPM (cost per thousand). CPM represents how much revenue a site can generate per one thousand visits. As you can see my CPM is only $4.53 dollars. John Chow’s blog have a CPM of more than $100. If I can achieve that kind of CPM I could have made more than 500 dollars a month. Well we see.
