Author: Sorry it has been a while since my last update but my attention recently has been distracted by some personal issues which I have had to attend to. Although I haven’t been able to put much work into my cruise blog over the past week I am still seeing some steady but slow improvements in both traffic and income. I thought for a change it would be good to show you my google analytics visitor graph for the european cruise blog..
This graph shows an overview of the amount of visitors ranging from early February through to today. As you can see this demonstrates the slow but steady rate at which my visitor count is rising.
The screenshot above shows various visitor statistics relating to average page views, time on site, etc..
As for my adsense income from the blog, well I am still averaging around 15% of my target still per day and some days seeing more and some days less.
It is becoming clear that I probably won’t make a hundred bucks a day by March 31st but I hope that the growth rate of my visitors above demonstrates to you that one day I will be earning that. All I have to do is ensure that the growth rate continues.
cant see the screenshot : (
Steve,,
somehow the graph doesn’t load. looking at the source code of this page I couldn’t find an IMG tag within the text.
Hiya Steve, sorry but there is no graph loading for me either. Can possibly edit to include for those of us looking for it?
Hi Steve, I didn’t see an image either. Can you edit the post and add the image? Thanks.
I am currently away from my PC and Internet connection and only have my Iphone. I will sort the screenshot problem out as soon as I am back with my computer, sorry about that.
Sorry about the screenshot problems, all should be fine now.. It seems I published a draft post instead of the post I wanted to.
You must have a very good CTR to achieve it 15% with your traffic, maybe you have between 40 – 50%
Steve
can you give us an idea on how much traffic will make you closer to your goal of 100$/day .Rightnow i can see that you are recieving touch under 300 Uvs a day
No John my CTR is a lot less than that, I don’t know why you think it would be as high as that.
Manoj, I will need around 2000 visitors a day to reach my goal.
Would you a have chosen a different niche given the opportunity?
Brian
Hi Brian,
No, I am happy with my niche choice it has huge scope and I still have only scratched the surface of topics that I can cover with it.
