Revenue from Adsense seems to be on a slow decline. It looks like I was smart-priced. In a few blogs, I've modified the code so adsense ads are only displayed to search engine viewers. I don't think other kinds of traffic click on the ads anyway. I also signed up for Adsdaq to display in place of adsense on these sites.
Surprizingly, Linkworth has started performing really well on my sites. March's income was almost double of February's and I expect April's income to be a lot higher too. Its been a long time coming, but now the income is starting to be substantial. I'm very happy with their service and I strongly endorse it.
Text-Link-Ads is also doing moderately okay although its making less than Linkworth. I don't think you're allowed to use both services on the same site, so see which one works better for you. Between the two, my favorite is currently Linkworth. It also has a good affiliate program so if you sign up, make sure you put an affiliate ad on your site too.
This year,I accidentally stumbled upon Amazon affiliate income through a post I wrote. Hopefully it will continue as I learn more about affiliate marketing and try out different techniques to boost it.
Surprizingly, I found out that I had earned ~$60 from Domain Embarking, a site that helps you earn money from parked domains. I had a few sites that were parked with Sedo.com. In over 2 years, I make about 24 cents with Sedo, but with Domain Embarking, now I'm making some money atleast. To be fair, the $60 was earnings for the year till date, so it could have been only $20 for March. I'll find out how it does in April to get a better idea. Regardless, its still a whole lot better than the $0.01 per month I was making with Sedo.
I also just registered about 20 .info domains with godaddy. Godaddy is currently running a 99 cent special Actually is about $1.25 after taxes but still a great deal.
Parking them with Domain Embarking should earn me more money than that during the course of the year. The sites will also get PR and backlinks, so I might be able to sell them for more than $10 in a year. Or I might decide to host them myself and set up a BANS store on them. I use Dream Host for hosting and its really good. I can host multiple accounts on the same account for the low fee of $120/year. Use the coupon "passiveincome" to get a $20 discount on it.
Prosper is still handing out $25 signup bonuses to new lenders. When lenders who sign up through my link and fund their account, I get $25 too. That's how I made the $175 in referral fees. I also made around $30-$35 last month in prosper loans but since they usually issue a statement around the 5th of the month, i'll exclude that income. I usually get around $180-200 every month from the loans, of which 70% is return of principle. Calculating it manually is just too tedious.
