Hmm not strictly true. This blog has indeed been around a while, but it was lacking love during most of 2006 when months would go between posts, and then only a few posts a month.

I started posting regularly again in November, so I’ve grown my earnings from $573.18 (100% adsense) in October to $4000 in 4 months. I’ve worked damn hard to do this, but I believe that similar growth levels can be achieved from scratch.

Before you started this experiment, I believe all three of you (Everton, John Chow, Thilak) had established blogs with traffic. How long do you think it would take for a new blog to generate enough traffic to create this kind of income?

A pre-sell page is just like a splash page, except its main goal is to sell the visitor on the specified affiliate. Here's some examples: Cash Crate Review Text Link Ads Review I think John would have had better results if he removed Adsense Ads like I did with my Cash Crate Review. In less than 3 days, I have 2 referrals, which isn't too bad for my little blog.

Your text link ads link is broken. you might wanna fix that.

Thanks fixed

As for income, John writes exceptional pre-sell pages that motivate people to sign up under his affiliate links. To increase your affiliate sales, I would try removing Adsense ads from your affiliate pages. Thatâ€™s one way to increase your conversions.

Can you give some example links please as I don’t actually have any affiliate pages at the moment

And it’s never been about traffic. I made nearly $500 in February with only 15,000 pageviews.

With proper optimization, you could make over $10k easily.
