Web Earnings for December 2008

In December 2008, I earned $290.

$101 from Google AdSense
$71 from Text Link Ads
$70 from Linkworth
$48 from reader donations

My Text Link Ads stream is drying up by this point. Down from a high of about $136 nine months earlier. I think my drop in Alexa Ranking and Page Rank, combined with tough economic times, has accounted for the lack of new sales. I wrote TLA regarding the poor performance lately, and they offered to have their sales reps help to push it.

I also lost a Linkworth ad which hurts because I get 70% of my $50/month rate, or $35 per text link, per month. Much more generous than TLA, but with a lower volume of sales.
