Month: January 2017

Traffic going up

The traffic of my main travel site is still going up. Yesterday it had a high of 1,300+ unique visitors bringing in little over €20,- for the day. This is 100% Google AdSense income.

In a previous post (May 2016) traffic just started to pick up for this site, I also posted a screenshot of the traffic back then;

Get more traffic

In the last 8 months things have changed. I got some top rankings for important keywords which are bringing in the majority of the traffic. 85% of the visitors are coming from Google with 13% being direct traffic.

Organic traffic

Returning visitors

There are quite some visitors that visit the site more than once. While checking reports I noticed there are even people visiting the site over 100 times in the last 30 days.

Some even surpassed 200 times in the last 30 days. Who are those people? 200 times is A LOT. The site is build around a service though so they might be hooked to it and are just being curious all the time.

Bitcoin frenzy – Trading volume is up!

Bitcoin

Bitcoin reached a high of $1,153.02 yesterday. Coming within reach of its all-time high it dropped to a low of $887.47 again. The Bitcoin rally is still going on, the price is going up and down fast at the moment ($978.25 at time of writing).

Some people are afraid that this will be the same rally as in late 2013, when Bitcoin went sky high after falling down to the bottom. A rep from Huobi (which has a quarter of the world’s bitcoin volume) said the following to Coindesk;

“In 2013, when the price was 8,000 yuan, the weekly trading volume was 393,000 BTC, with an amplitude of the week up to 103%. The trading volume was very small. Today, bitcoin [prices] broke 8,000 yuan with 735m BTC trading volume, which is expected to double in a week. Current trading volume is 37x of that in 2013 and bitcoin price fluctuates 15.95%, which is much more stable than the year 2013.”

We just have to wait and see what will happen next 🙂

Google AdSense income December

First of all; Happy new year! Hope you all had a great time celebrating the start of 2017. The last year went by quite fast. A year were I started doing internet marketing again after a few years of silence… Glad I did because December was another good month for my AdSense earnings.

Highest day – Fri, Dec 23, 2016 – €23,62
Lowest day – Wed, Dec 7, 2016 – €4,77

Reached €400 a month on AdSense with one of my travel related sites bringing in 90% of it. The site has some top rankings in google.nl and keeps on doing great. The site gets around 20,000 unique visitors monthly. I think the site is on its max in its current state. I have plans to add more content and other areas that I didn’t touch yet… I see potential.

I started working on a new site in the financial niche. I work there so I have a bit of experience in it. AdSense clicks are high as well. Have to try it 🙂 Will keep you updated on that as well.
