April 2008 goal update
April flew by. Can't say I'm satisfied with the progress I made in April, with some disappointing results across the board. Here’s the update.
1. Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that can generate $350 per month.
Declining fortunes in April, dollar wise, with total revenue brought in via SwollenPickles.com coming in at $246.56, down from $308.40 in March.
Here’s a rough breakdown:
Adsense: $26.58
Kontera: $11.10
WidgetBucks: $0.50
LinkWorth: $56.00
Shopzilla.com
: $150.29
Misc: $2.59
WidgetBucks earning were right down this month, largely due to me all but removing them to make way for some
Shopzilla.com
ads. LinkWorth continued to perform well, and I'd say it's well worth a look.
I can't really add this to the total, but I've made $5.78 already from Predictify from predictions I've made that have come true.
2. Develop Swollen Pickles to the point where it receives 30,000 unique visits per month.
April was a massive traffic month for SwollenPickles.com. There were 39,445 unique visits in April, smashing the March mark of 24,448. A big part of this had to do with the Gordon Ramsey recipe post getting stumbled.
3. Develop Digital Burn into a website that can generate $150 per month.
Digital Burn continues to struggle, making $65.80 in April, up from $61.59 in March. A majority of this income came from AdSense.
4. Develop Digital Burn to the point where it receives 15,000 unique visits per month.
There were 10,544 unique visitors to DigitalBurn.org in April, down again from March (11,784). I had another slack month in that I didn't provide many updates at all.
5. Develop Motor Dude into a website that can generate $50 per month.
MotorDude.com made $24.17 in April, up from $23.63 in March but still not hitting the mark. Again, this one is suffering from a lack of attention.
6. Develop Motor Dude to the point where it receives 7,500 unique visits per month.
Another sad motoring month with 1,625 unique visits down slightly from 1,660 in March.
7. Achieve my goal weight of 85kgs.
Need new batteries for the scales.

Be nice. Keep it clean. Stay on topic. No spam.
why couldn’t the money made with ‘predictify’ be included in miscellaneous?
Cos it wasn’t strictly generated from this site. I left it out on a technicality.
Interesting post, I find Linkworth performs better for me than other services as well – do you use text-link-ads?
I find I have a high click through rate on Kontera but the amount I get is pretty poor.
Hi Pete,
I have used text-link-ads before but stopped using them on this site a while ago. I seem to do better with Link Worth here.
I still have text-link-ads running on another site though. They do ok.
I’m in the same boat with Kontera, good CTR but the amount earned per click is quite low.
