Starting to see the benefits from my SEO campaigns. 100% increase in visits in comparison to yesterday.

I also had a revelation today. Today is my day off and I decided to take a walk to the beach and while I was walking, I came up with a tool that will really help people.

Very excited for the future, I know that I will make huge strides during this journey.

Day 19

Profit:
Adsense: $6.14
Amazon: $0.04
CJ: $0.00

Total profit from Day 19: $6.18

Traffic has shot up tremendously over the past few days. Technically, Day 19 still has a couple more hours left and I already have 250 uniques.

Everything seems to be going very well.
 
Keep up buddy...im just wondering why are your adsense earning low considering you have 250 visits especialy as its a fitness niche...any way im following your thread and youre doing great job...i would tell dont give up but i know you wont :)
 
Sorry for missing some updates, exams are going to be over tomorrow. It's been a hectic past few days. After that, I'll be free! :)

Day 20 and Day 21

I'm not going to lie, I did not do anything on Day 20 and 21 because of exam prep. Earnings were very low and are not worth mentioning.

My traffic is increasing everyday which is a good sign at least. CJ is pissing me off though, I think I have over 200 clicks without a single conversion, which is terrible.

If you keep this one up like you have so far, you will hit 2k before you close down on 6 months. However, after you get there, I'd invest some and replace those sape links with your own PR sites, well established - just so you don't depend on a 3rd party, passive.
 
Day 22 and 23

Finally done with my exams!!! Now I have about two months before I have to leave for university.

I didn't do anything on Day 22 and 23 due to exams.

I made about $2 from Adsense from both Day 22 and 23.

Tomorrow I'm getting back on the grind and will start working my ass off!
 
Day 24

Profit:
Adsense: $2.42
Amazon: $2.92
CJ: $0.00

Total profit from Day 24: $5.34

CJ is really starting to piss me off...

At least my KW's are slowly climbing, I should be able to get #1 for every KW in the next two months.
 
Day 25
I've had enough of CJ, I'm not going to use them. I spent most of the day replacing all of my CJ links with Amazon links and reviewed all my published reviews for errors.
Profit:
Adsense: $1.73
Amazon: $0.00
Total: $1.73

Haven't added new content in a few days, but I feel it's not necessary at the moment. There is a lot of published content to review. I've also made some new review templates that I feel will make the reviews read and convert better.

Going on a 4 or 5 day vacation today, hopefully we'll see some earnings and movement in the rankings. Won't update until I get back (exhausted from school and work at the moment).

Back from my vacation and I'm feeling great!

Today is Day 30!

(There is still an entire day of earnings ahead of us, so I will update my total 30 days of earnings on the 31st day).

Here are my earnings and stats from 29 days of work on this website:

In one month my unique traffic has increased by 600% per day. In total, I have earned around 44$ in 29 days.

Most of my Amazon and Adsense earnings have come in the past week, which is a very good sign.

I am very pleased with how everything is going at the moment, considering that this is my first authority site. Making an authority site is very difficult the first time around and it will be much easier when I decide to make my second authority site (In 11 months).

Today I plan to change the layout once again. A friend has looked over my site and gave me recommendations on what to change.

Keep it up, man! Working hard for one year straight will leave you with a very legit and strong site with traffic. Then you can really get to tweakin monetization.
 
Damn it, I couldn't edit my last post. Anyways, my updated earnings for the first 30 days is $51.72

22.28 from Adsense
29.44 from Amazon

Had my first $4+ Adsense day yesterday and I've finally reached the 6% commission level on Amazon. What do you guys think will be my earnings from the next 30 days?

I think I will earn around $130-150 for the next month and then hit over $500 for the third month.
 
Day 32

Adsense: $1.04
Amazon: $0.00 (Had my day 4 streak broken, :(...)
Total: $1.04
