Checking my earnings daily are becoming depressing. Although I can see I am pulling in a few dollars, it is nothing special. I will never sneeze at any incoming revenue, I am just slightly disheartened as I was expecting more.

I am still waiting, with a glimour of hope, that Tribal Fusion will accept my publisher application for OffBeatInk.com and my earnings will increase. I heard they pay anything from $1.50 upwards CPM which would possibly double my earnings.

My goal, which still stands, is to achieve $150 profit per month over my entire network. I’ll be doing some calculations shortly and will post the results up. Based on my incomings and outgoings, I am definately losing money. However, I am still persistant and determined to become a successful webmaster.

A quote I absolutely adore states, “With love and patience anything is possible“. I’m living by that rule despite spending countless hours with seemingly little progression.

Good luck with your persuits,

Khalid.

Of late I’ve been testing different ad networks to see which converts best for me. This has mainly been on OffBeatInk.com (OBI) as the site is receiving nearly 2,000 uniques per day and is less than two months old. Further to this, OBI is the only site in my network that is accepted by ad programs due to its popularity and content. Kortaz.com can only really work with Widget Bucks and Adversal due to the fact it relates to proxies.

Since opening OBI, Value Click Media has been a general winner, earning me aroun d $1 per day for both a 468 x 60 banner and a 120 x 600 skyscraper. Whilst this isn’t fantastic, I can’t grumble as I’ll happily accept anything given to me right now! At times I wish I still had Adsense but even if I did get it back I’d always be worried of becoming banned again.

I’ve  applied to Tribal Fusion as well as other CPM and CPC networks as I think its only fair us webmasters are paid for impressions too! Afterall, I bet the companies who pay these agencies are paying for it!

Playing around I’ve managed to rule out a few due to either lack of earnings or showing compeltely unrelevant ads (hence the lack of earnings lol!). One company was showing Van Insurance ads on OBI….why?????

Although it can be fun to test different network and play about with them, it can become frustrating as I’m not earning anymore. I think my next step will be build a strong PR rating and sell text links on my sites.

Ahh, the life and times of a struggling webmaster.
