J-Walk and Oh Gizmo Post November Blog Revenues

Posted on December 6, 2005

The J-Walk Blog, a popular and funny blog that is listed on the IWJ's list of Best Author Blogs, has an interesting post about blogging income in which J-Walk reveals his own revenues from his blog in November.

November income for J-Walk Blog was $52.35 from Google AdSense, and $82.54 from eMusic. Total = $134.89. In November, I made 428 posts, which works out to $0.31 per post. If we deduct my $75 monthly hosting expense, my per-post income is reduced to $0.14.

J-Walk posted his November blog revenues after finding the revenues of Oh Gizmo, a popular gadget blog, discussed in the comments of this post.

So. How much does this site bring in? Last month, November, Google Adsense revenue was close to $700 (not allowed to give you actual figure), Blogads revenue was around $121, DU Network stipend was $150, Chitika was around $212, direct ads were $410 and Vibrantmedia was $140. That makes for a total of $1733.

It looks like Oh Gizmo is also trying an idea of their own called the $100,000 banner which is located on the top of the blog's webpages. The $100,000 banner was inspired by Alex Tew's Million Dollar Homepage idea that we blogged about a couple months ago. More and more bloggers seem to be trying new ways to make money from blogs -- instead of using AdSense or relying solely on AdSense. Trying different methods is probably a good idea especially if AdSense can "lower site-self-esteem" like this article on WebProNews suggests.
