Monthly Report: May 2008

Well, it's time for another monthly update.

My sources seem a bit scattered. Yes, some comes from AdSense. And basically, my income from HubPages comes from the AdSense account I attached to that. What's a bit depressing about that is that since AdSense doesn't pay out till my account balance reaches $100, it could be five years (or more!) before I get paid.

I have been writing a bit about my efforts on Helium, this month. One thing I don't much care for with that site is that it really doesn't have very good "reporting" utilities.

If I want to see my traffic and income for last month, that can't be done. There's a "month to date" report, but unless you sit there with "your finger on the trigger" at the last moment of the month, you can't use it. You have to get to $25.00 before you can cash out, anyway... so retrieving numbers would mainly be so I could share them here.

I haven't really mentioned that I write at Gather, either... mostly because that side rewards you with "points," rather than cash. Sure, you can exchange your "points" for Amazon Gift cards which are "same as cash" but I've decided not to include that here.

Anyway, I'm going to stick to what I can directly track to my efforts. In May 2008, income from AdSense was $0.85, coming from 578 page impressions. Not exactly breaking any records here...
