Payout Again????????

1. 75

   Cagsilposted 12 years ago

   Hey Hubberville,
   
   As far as I know, people consider "payout" when they reach the total $100.00 threshold.
   
   So, I opened a thread the first time I reached $100.00 threshold. And, I had many people wish me luck on the next payout. Also I had some the next $100 would come quicker.
   
   Well, to be honest, it DID come quicker.
   
   It took me 7 months to make $100 and then LESS than 30 days to do it again!
   
   With that said- Whatever you do, do not give up on your hubs.

             I did - from October 2009 until May. Which was my best month so far.
             
             I made very little, like about $50 between Oct and end of April.
             
             May got me to my first payout $100, a little ways through. So, you should be good for your first payout about 6-7 months, even though the estimated time frame is about 9-12 months on average.
             
             The past few weeks has been really interesting because I've watched my traffic go from 500 views to 3000 views per day.

                I was pretty happy with my results, but the past week my views (and adsense) has dropped a lot.  I think it may be the end of school, but I plan on continuing to focus on more Amazon hubs - those have been improving a bit. 
                
                What caused your traffic to increase six-fold over the past few weeks?  That is an impressive feat!

                How much backlinking have you done on sites like RedGage, SheToldMe etc?  And are the views distributed fairly evenly (or normal distribution for you), or are a few hubs getting the most dramatic traffic spikes?

                   Hey Rmcrayne, I have RedGage and my Blog. I have also sent out some Tweets(Twitter).
                   
                   I have done very little backlinking, however, most if not all my hubs are inter-connected together, so when one person reaches one of my hubs, they are most likely able to get to others, just like it(the one they visited).
                   
                   I have no clue who is linked to my articles and so on and so forth. I do no promotion(advertising) of my hubs. Except as I stated above. Then again, as I've said plenty of times recently, most of my revenue generated is coming from my Photo hubs of Models and Celebrity Hubs, at least 90% of the total.
