I haven’t wrote about my income on this site for ever! It’s been one year and a bit more since Bontb is up and running , with over 700  posts an 4.000 comments I received from that 67.000+ spam comments.

Last night while reading few blogs I also stumbled on blogs that reported Income they generated over time. So I decided to share my income that I received since April /2007.

My Paypal shows that I received $4370.91 in private advertising and TNX which I just recently sold for 82c per 1000 points to TNX.

Adsense has been good to me last year, with Dosh Dosh Theme yet I wanted to have theme that maybe generates less money from Adsense but receives more traffic and it’s more unique. Said that I received $3450.15 from Google Adsense

Kontera was the worst and I discontinued it also last year just because It was annoying but still brought me $877.23

Remember Text Link Ads? I lost PR4-5 because of TLA last year but I loved the service tho!

I got my PR4 back yet I don’t generate any income from it “since last year again!” My ads were running for $10 at the beinning and I sold 56 text link ads, later on TLA bump up my advertising cost to $55 and I sold 28 text link ads.

Widgetbucks was awesome as well at the beginning but one month later after I received $79 the income decreased to $12 yet I was receiving same amount of traffic.  I talked to tech support they said “People are just not clicking on ads”. I thought that is so not true! So I discountinued that service as well yet to be honest, if you have technology blog this service was paying (at that time) almost 50-80c per click!

So this brings us to total of $8777.29 I still haven’t checked how much money I got from TLA! I know it was somewhere around $1200.

(income figures are after taxes)

I think blogging is awesome whether you blog because money or not. And there is nothing that will stop me from blogging unless I get hit by a car or Predator stops by and cut’s both of my hands.

If you haven’t noticed but all I am running right now on BONTB is Adsense and Private Advertising.

So that is my Income statement for full year and with that money I paid some of my student loans, lunch at work, few car payments as well as furniture for my new house.

After reading Probloggers Book by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett I think there are some interesting topics that will help me double the amount by 2009!

Horaayy..there are 10 comment(s) for me so far ;)

@Solo ads: To be honest :) I DO hahah. But with little bit lower income except one “http://ipodtouchtricks.blogspot.com” makes me pretty decent money for 7 months old blog.

One brick after another is how we can build a house ;-)

P.S. Never ever use quote marks for links because they will be altered and will stop being hyperlinks!

That’s pretty good income from one site! Thanks for sharing what worked for you, what didn’t, and how much each brought in. It’s very interesting to see how much potential there is with blogging.

Congrats. That’s quite a good income for a year. Just hope that I can make something closed to your figure in a year time. :)

That’s pretty good going, I was only hoping for a 10th of that for my first year. Roll on Feb 09 when I can maybe compare how I have got on.

Private and Adsense, the only way to go…for now. From I’ve heard there are a few strong adsense competitors in the making. We shall see.
