Last day of the year= best day

   Bill Manningposted 14 years ago

   Nothing like ending the year with your best day ever! A month ago I wrote about what was going on New Years eve for Disney, Universal Studios and Sea World in my tourist site about Orlando.
   
   Yesterday, new years eve, my traffic exploded on that site with people trying to find out what was going on at the theme parks.
   
   So I'm happy to say I ended the year with my best adsense day ever, $46.16 and a monthly total of $677.93!
   
   My goal this year is to double that amount per day and make it an average.

      You make $650+ with just 29 hubs?
      
      I made about $40 with 60 hubs in December. (Plus some Amazon too.)

      Grats Bill! And Happy New Year!
      
      Actually I had the worst day in a couple of months, and I strongly suspect today will be even worse. Still a decent amount though, so no complaints

         Yeah I think sales from everything will be way down for the next week.

            We both know this is just normal ebb and flow, nothing to frown upon. Just celebrate New Year!

   Totally awesome Bill
   
   I ended my day with a vodka (or three) and the notion that I really can't walk in high heels

               Evidence?
               
               I could walk in high heels if it was chic and sexy to wear them with hiking socks - my favored choice of footwear being hiking shoes and matching socks. How sexy
               
               I prefer a firm (flat) foot on terra firma as opposed to teetering around and upping my chances of finding myself accidentally horizontal. Of course flat-footed + vodka has frequently caused the same outcome - but that's another story

                  There is a picture of me on my facebook where I'm in a maid outfit with heels on. I did it as a Christmas gag for my lesbian friends!

   Bill,
   
   Wow, congratulations! You are making $650 a month on 29 hubs only or is it your combined income with other adsense? I made cool 2 cents past 7 days.
   
   Guess I need to write about Disney land I suppose more. Funny thing is I was there last year! It was fun.

   Thanks everyone, it feels good to end the year like this.
   
   cookingdiva, no it's not from my hubs, I make almost all my income from my own sites, sorry.

         HI there TopUniverse. The sites I make the bulk of my money off of are around 3 years old. However I have a 6 month old site and I'm making Amazon product pages on it that are on the 1st page of Google.
         
         But websites that have aged a year or two are best. It just takes a lot of hard work, SEO and keyword finding. I never try to rank for top keywords but the hundreds of smaller ones.

            More of the opinion that earning from personal site is lot difficult than hubpages. But unfortunately you are working on reverse way, you just have have 29 hubs.
            
            Don't have faith on hubpages?

               Oh no, I think hubpages is great. They have way more traffic here than on a personal website,,,,, in a way.
               
               By that I mean, for all my hubs on here I get around 200 page views a day. With all my sites combined I get,,,, lets see,,,, around 10,000 page views a day.
               
               I just have much more content on my sites than on hubpages, because I only came here after making all my sites.
               
               So I find that when I have time to make an article, I want to use it to keep building up my own sites, not put it on a free site.
               
               Plus I get 100% of ads on my own sites. I just don't have enough free time to make lots of articles on both my sites and here,, that's all.
