End of the summer and traffic on my travel niche websites is slowly going down. The earnings for this month were still good though. In September I made:
€3.554,62
Still a very nice average of €118,49 a day. This summer has been really great for me with having a record month in July earning €5.137,99 on Adsense alone.
For the next 4-5 months I expect a decline in earnings. Travel season is over so the traffic will go away. I have a lot of SEO things I want to fix on my sites. They really need work. The plan is to have everything fixed in the next few months. I hope Adsense will bring in at least €2.000,00 next month.
Bought a new website
I bought a new website in the travel niche. It is a website that is reviewing travel suitcases. The site should bring in €120,00 to €150,00 a month I was told. I paid €2050,00 for the website that is 17 times the monthly income if we go with €120,00 a month. Not too bad I guess.
I got the site up and running on my affiliate account on September 11 and made €95,00 so far with it. In 20 days it sold 13 items bringing in €95,00. I guess the estimate of €120,00 – €150,00 a month is right.
At the moment I am really focussing on creating new backlinks for the site. When I bought it there were just 14 backlinks pointing to the site. In the last 20 days I already brought that number to 30. I will try to bring in more backlinks this month and start some social media on it.
Plans for October
I don’t have any special plans in mind for October. As I said I hope to bring in at least €2.000,00 on Adsense. Still looking to buy more sites that are bringing in money. Will keep you updated if I buy something new.
Hey, congrats on your new website.
How do you build backlinks these days?
Which ones (links) work for you?
I build mostly by exchanging blog posts, these work good for me and I have a couple of sites I can offer other webmasters to write on as well. If not, I buy them. Re-investing the earnings 🙂
