August phpBay earnings - my best month yet!
Time for a phpbay earnings update. August was my best month yet for phpBay sites. But it was a stressful month too. With all the craziness of EPN deactivating publishers, many were left wondering when they would get the axe. Fortunately, I haven’t gotten it yet. But i have held off on building more sites until things settle down a bit.
Another bit of news: I deactivated phpBay Pro on my Golf Balls site early last month. This site was my worst performing site and the whole EPN stir made me nervous, so i decided to focus on my two best sites. I made about $4.00 from the golf ball site before I shut it down last month. One all the commotion with SPN goes down I will reevaluate the site and consider reactivating it.
Back to my phpBay earnings. I made a total 0f $690 from my phpBay sites in August. $611 was from EPN and another $80 came from CJ links on my Fender Amps site.
Here is a screenshot of my earnings breakdown between my two sites that are up (click it to enlarge):
Also, twice last month my earnings DROPPED $30. Must have been an eBay sale that got retracted. But that could have been another $60 
Another also, I’m having ankle surgery this week on Tuesday. I know i’ve been pretty crappy about posting tips, I’ve been crazy busy. But with the surgery I’ll be off work for a week, so i should have some time to post. I’ll write about an amazing new plugin from Alan Lewis that automatically creates new pages of searches people do on your site. It’s really amazing. So that will be cool. I’ll also try to write another post, assuming the Vicodin doesn’t totally impair my typing.

That great. Congratulations. Would you be willing to share how you drive traffic to your site?

Well, I would think that ranking second place on the first page for “fender blues Junior” brings him a good amount of traffic. Thanks for the earnings updates, my sites are earning alright, not that well, at least my phpbay sites, my other affiliate sites do well but I wanted to try out phpbay as I heard alot of talk about it over at wickedfire.

Seriously good luck with the surgery, and enjoy the vicodin!

Is the revenue coming from 100% organic traffic?
September 8th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
@ Sam,
Yes, ALL my traffic is organic.

Hey Ross,
Nice to see you’ve seen an increase in revenue across your sites!! Do you have any plans to start up additional phpBay sites through EPN?
Thanks!

I have a few sites that i had planned on expanding with PHPBAY but with all the news of people getting dropped i’ve decided not to for now. Think i’ll wait and see what happens over the next few weeks.
Nice site, put it in my reader
