How I Make Money Blogging – Top Income Streams Update

Blogging for Dollars, Featured Posts 110 comments

How I Make Money BloggingOnce every 3 months I update my Make Money Blogging page here at ProBlogger with my top income earners for that last quarter. Today I made the update for the last three months (March to May 2008).

My top income earners for the last quarter were:

  1. AdSense (previously #1)
  2. Chitika (previously #2)
  3. Private Ad Sales (previously #4)
  4. Amazon Associates (previously #3)
  5. Miscellaneous Affiliate Programs (previously #7)
  6. Shopzilla (previously not in the list)
  7. ProBlogger Job Board (previously #6)
  8. WidgetBucks (previously not in the list)
  9. Miscellaneous Ad Networks (previously #8)

I’ve included where it was previously ranked in my income streams so you can see how things have changed (and where they have not. AdSense and Chitika continue to dominate although Private Ad Sales have been making a move, as have affiliate programs.

You can read a complete description of each one and how I’ve used it in the Make Money Blogging post.

    Thanks Darren for sharing your top incomes on your blog. Good to see ad sales on #4 an that speaks of a good handling of your ads. Greets from over Germany

    You have adsense as your #1 but I don’t see very many on this site. Are these stats compiled over all of your sites combined?

    Darren,

    Anyway you could show us how you use these in your websites most effectively…actually you have probably already written an article about it.

    AdSense still be no. 1 income earner for you, but for me affiliate program is my no. 1 income earner. I don’t have luck with AdSense.

    Do you have an explanation for Amazon dropping? Is it because you do less reviews?

    Hi Darren

    When I read your quote “I don’t do a lot of private ad deals (it’s something I should focus upon more)” in your How I Make Money from Blogs – Top Earners article in February 2007 I remember thinking that you could make a killing if you sold more ads directly and it looks like I was right so well done :-)

    Darren,
    Thanks for the list…Have you had any luck with Commission Junction?…Anyone else?

  • Jerry

    Question: I’m assuming that this ranking is based on the aggregate for all of your blogs, rather than for any particular individual blog, yes?

    I think it might be an interesting discussion to talk about what types of revenue sources work for various types of blogs, and the reasons they might or might not complement each other.

    Thanks for being so transparent. That’s important.

    Jerry above has a good point. AdSense probably does really well on a site like DPS as compared to this site.

  • Marc

    June 4th, 2008 1:10 am

    I know I have a lot to do with you updating this article ! :)

    I send your posts about monetizing to someone I know on a literal daily basis. People wanting to start sites have now clue how they make money.

    I thought it would be obvious since we, as users, are bombarded by advertising from every angle.

    Even many bloggers themselves wonder how to monetize effectively.

    Make this an on-gong series, how popular are these posts compared to the others Darren?

  • Alli

    June 4th, 2008 1:10 am

    Although we would like to increase revenue, we’re worried Ads will interfere with the look of our blog and put readers off.
    I like Jerry’s comment about discussing the different types of ads working for different blogs.

    I also want to thank you for the transparency, really appreciate all the ‘inside’ information. Thank you!

    Are your jobs board’s sales down? If so, do you think it has anything to do with the economic slowdown?

  • Lisa Irby

    June 4th, 2008 4:25 am

    Domain reselling is #1 for me because of the residuals. Nothing like getting a sale once and getting paid over and over again and watching those residuals grow year after year.

    @ rick – I use Commission Junction and make very good money. It all boils down to finding products that fit your audience and understanding how to PREsell them. Whether it’s CJ, ShareASale, LinkShare, etc. you have to know how to communicate to your audience.

    @ Mark – I think it depends on the niche. My blog targeted to webmasters has a horrible AdSense CTR because webmasters are familiar and ignore the ads. Yet my fitness site has a 6-7% CTR with AdSense. I would bet Darren’s photography blog probably contributes a large percentage. Remember, this is not Darren’s only site.

  • Mark Jaquith

    June 4th, 2008 7:40 am

    You should include the relative percentages in this list!

  • Darren Rowse

    June 4th, 2008 8:52 am

    Robb – these are my total blogging income – from my other sites – I go into this a bit more in the post I’m linking to.

    GolfSpy – yes, there’s plenty of examples in ProBlogger archives (and the book)

    Rob – actually Amazon increased in actual earnings but only dropped in rankings because private ad sales increased by more

    Rick – no, i’ve had very little luck with CJ despite trying numerous times.

    Jerry – yes, its for all my blogs. I’ve written a post (at least one) somewhere on how different blogs will convert differently – but can’t for the life of me find it. Will keep searching.

    Del Sauzo – yes, the best way is to start by building readership and then experimenting with these one at a time – don’t be overwhelmed by it.

    Marc – these posts are reasonably popular but not out of control. I could probably have them more popular by putting actual figures on them but I don’t go there these days as I wonder if it might create unrealistic expectations for people.

    taddict – no this doesn’t include b5 blogs or income at all. AdSense is on my Digital Photography School blog.

    team ray – please read the post I link to above where I give more information.

    Mark – it really depends on the blog. In general on pretty established blogs with large readership AdSense doesn’t do great – however sometimes it takes longer to attract big advertisers. On DPS I’m still in building mode – it’s a hard niche to get the attention of big advertisers for some reason so til then it’s AdSense.

    Markus – no job board ad sales are up – it’s just that some of the other income streams increased by even more and so pushed it down the rankings.

    StationStops – yes, seems they are having trouble. Not sure what the issue is!

    Mark – good idea, will do this next time.

    Of course Adsense seems worthless also.

    And not one sale !

    I contacted the companies who decided to “end” their contracts with CJ (Easy Forex for example)
    I now make money :)

    How often do you assess your various income streams. Is it a monthly process? At one point in readership numbers do you think a new blogger may begin to see a return?

    Thanks!

    One of the things I like about blogging is the freedom to be open about things. I like it when someone reveals their revenue stream. The revenue stream at my blog is still just a trickle, however I am starting to see some increased traffic. Each Friday I will recap the week on my blog – both traffic and income. Thanks for sharing this with us and as for someone new to blogging it does help and give some direction of where to place monetary priorities.

    Chitika won’t accept me, they are claiming that I am getting about 15,000 less visitors than I actually am!

    It’s nice to see you using so many different avenues to monetize the blog, it shocks me how many think it starts and ends with Adsense.

    Darren, do you think that Chitika ads would do well on small blogs?

  • rita

    June 5th, 2008 1:54 am

    I must be missing something because I have scavenged your site for google adsense ads and I don’t see any, yet you say this is your biggest moneymaker. Are you disguising them in a certain way I’m overlooking?

  • Sangesh

    June 5th, 2008 1:59 am

    Adsense definitely seems to top most ppl’s list. And so in in my list too. And yes, as one other commentator also said do u think if you could share the percentage they hold in the list.

    Cheers.

    My site is still in the Growing Readership phase. I do have ads in place, but I imagine it’s going to take a while. I’ve only been at it for two weeks (or just over two weeks).

    Wondering, everybody here, how long did it take for your blog to start bringing in income – any income?

  • Lewis Howes

    June 5th, 2008 10:07 am

    Curious to know where your book sales are on that list? Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Lewis

  • Darren Rowse

    June 5th, 2008 10:52 am

    Pras – no, never heard of it.

    Moise Levi – those stats are pretty similar to mine with Commission Junction, however I do know so bloggers who do ok with it – I guess it depends upon the products you promote.

    Rick – it’s an ongoing thing that I’m constantly assessing and experimenting with. In terms of reader numbers – for AdSense and Chitika you can definitely start earning something almost straight away as long as you have some readers – the traffic just multiplies the earnings.

    Mark – the issue with Chitika is getting into the program. They do have traffic requirements so while they will earn you something on a small blog you probably need to have quite a few small blogs to get enough traffic for them to let you in. I hope they change this and let more publishers in because there’s a lot of great small sites out there that could do well from them.

    Rita – please read the article that I’m linking to in my post above. These stats are for ALL of my blogs not just ProBlogger.

    Lewis – book sales are not on the list mainly because I only really include direct income from my blogs on this update (ie I don’t include book sales, speaking payments, six figure blogging course earnings, my salary from b5media etc). Having said that – the book is only a month old so even if I did include it it wouldn’t yet feature as I’m yet to be paid anything more than an advance on it as royalties are not paid that regularly. It’s worth noting though, you don’t earn much from writing a book unless it’s a massive seller :-)

    i still don’t understand how people can make money with something which doesn not have to do with adsense. my only income comes from adsense and it is the only one which offers me a fair amount of money based on the amount of people and click i get. other solutions? too cheap or very unfair, without speaking about the google ranking issue. i would like to have something like problogger on my website but i fear i may not be taken into account from the company. and what about the nofollow issue? does the company policy allow you to put a nofollow on those links? i dont want to be penalised by google as far as my google rank is concerned just because i can not put nofollow on certain links i dont have any control over. can you explain this darren pls? giving a list of great companies is not sufficent sometimes. just warn the average blogger about the risk they can get if they decide not to stay with google adsense

  • Joi

    June 7th, 2008 3:51 pm

    It’s been my experience that a lot of it has to do with your niche. I have quite a few sites that cover a variety niches (from Self Help to fashion and from cats to cooking). Overall, my best performers are adsense, CJ, All Posters, Shopping Ads, and Linkshare. I’ve also been impressed with Kontera.

    A lot of people have had a lot of success with Chitika but I actually took my chitika units down because they didn’t do well for me. I was disappointed because they’re so good looking!

  • Jessica

    June 8th, 2008 3:35 am

    This is I guess rise of adsense again. People are starting to lose faith in adsense earnings because of the late changes made my the google i guess. but on part of google they have to ensure that they take care of the advertisers too. So I guess in a way things are working well.
    And here its nice to see that your blog is making the most out of that….

    Nice brief little post Daren.

    I’d say my biggest Ad rev comes from #1 Adsense to and then looking for Affiliate Programs off the grid with low, low completion. It pays to be on the top of the search.

    1) Get SEO Adsense theme. Location, Location, Location and Color. Gets people clicking.

    2) Find Affiliate Programs that people aren’t taping into. Products with no, or low competion are great. Search for yourself. CJ,Clickbank,Linkshare are great for new sources. Just do your homework search for low numbers in searches. You’ll be at the top of searches in no time.

    3)Stay at it. Learn more. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Content is King. Backlinks in your articles. Include keywords where ever you can.

    4)Post on other’s blogs. Don’t just expect people just come if you don’t contribute to others. Big Brother AKA Google will reward you deeply for this. Blogs are Karm-o-matic.

    5)*** DON’t GIVE UP**** Make Blogging like taking a shower everyday. Stay Proactive and clean and you’ll figure it out. There’s so much information out there and resources. Read all you can!

    Hi Darren,

    I have been using Chitika since Feb 2006 and have noticed that their Linx ad unit has dropped the per click payout rate by over 50%. Do you use the Chitika Linx ad unit at all? How do you think this could be explained? Chitika Linx has the highest CTR and now the lowest payout. Doesn’t make sense. Does anyone else use Chitika Linx? Thanks!

    I like seeing how diversified most online professionals are it is a good reminder not to put all the eggs in one basket.

    I’ve always been a fan of private sold links/ads. I like the funds upfront instead of hoping you get a certain amount of clicks/page views every month…Oh how I love cash.

    Adsense is still the winner! Not a surprise. Blogging and adsense just work well. Thanks for the update.

    Great post. I think it’s important for folks to know that MSI’s come when desire, discipline, and determination are combined!

    I have started using Chitika Premium this week, but just realized something of concern…

    I just wrote a 3000-word review on a camera, with links to Amazon Associates, but Chitika Premium is producing a very tempting link to the camera in my header.

    I would hate to lose my Amazon commissions to a low-paying ad, and I guess this would happen with AdWords, but I never really worried about it with them for some reason.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Your selflessness really touches me, though I’m a newbie and I’ve not started earning yet.

    I just recently signed-up for google adsense.

    Thanks for the infos.

    Adsense is making nice income for sites that have plenty of daily visitors, i know :)

    If you dont have really popular website try the one and the best PayToClick site/system :)

    I haven’t been using any of these on my blog, but I might give it a try. I haven’t heard of Chitika yet, but I’m off to check out what they are.

    I’ve applied for Chitika – and been rejected. Recently they came calling. I ignored them – just out of spite, you know?

    Now that Google Adsense is putting ads on my site that I can’t tell what URL it is so I can block it – I’ve decided to reapply to Chitika. With the top 4 sites I have I’m getting 150,000 pageviews. Is that enough? I hope so…

    I wish there were more alternatives…
