September 2008 Affiliate Income

I know it’s almost half way through October but it’s never too late to post the affiliate income report for September 2008. It was a tough month, with commissions dropping due to the economy. My niche sites and PPC campaigns are more luxuries than necessities. Which, due to the economy, creates a drop in commissions. Well, I can’t really complain because it’s still extra money in my pocket. Here are the results.

Ebay Partner Network

My Ebay earnings dropped from $300 a month to a low of $195.18 last month. I think a lot of this is due to the lack of spending on luxury items.

Pepperjam Network

My PPC campaign went fairly decent. I spent a total of $50 and made $110for a profit of $60. I was playing it safe. This was with only 1 campaign on 1 search network (MSN). I pretty happy that I ended up in the positive for both programs.

Here is the break down;

Ebay Partner Network: $195.18

Pepperjam Network (PPC): $110.00

Adsense: $12.14

Gross Income: $

Costs: -$50

Net Profit: $267.32

Not bad! That’s with all sites on auto pilot, with little to no SEO. I’m still working to improve each of the 4 BANS and PHPBAY sites I’m currently running.

Let’s hope that next month is much better!
