Talking about the catchy titles… doesn’t 200% sound catchy enough? Now that I have your attention, let me promote some affiliate program instead. ;) Just kidding, the fact is, my earnings did increase by more than 200%, hear me out.

MyBlogLog is a great service to see your daily traffic summary. It displays three crucial information:

  1. Where did people come from? (Displays 10 highest traffic-source to your blog)
  2. What pages they viewed? (Displays 10 most viewed pages of your blog)
  3. What links they clicked? (Displays 10 most clicked links for the day)

These information is displayed every day, and the stats are available for the past 7 days. By regularly looking at them, you will notice that there is a trend in your stats. That is - some pages appear every day among the most viewed top 10 pages. In my case, 7 out of 10 are the same pages that appear as the most viewed pages every day.

What does that mean?

That means, MyBlogLog is begging you to make some changes to those pages. It’s asking you to optimize them for AdSense (or any other publisher program that you use). It’s saying “these pages have the highest traffic, but you are not making use of it”.

How to make use of these pages?

I don’t really use AdSense that much on this blog, most of the time it’s just one image ad (200×200) at the right column. But after I noticed these stats, I had to include few ad-units on those popular pages. And the result? Earnings increased by more than 200%. See the screenshot below:


I know the figures are not much, that’s because I am not really monetizing this blog with AdSense. But earning more than $10/day from 10 blog posts is definitely better than earning $2.94/day from the whole blog.

What pages are they?

One of them is this post “Earning 70K by 17 years of age, whateverlife.com“, it’s getting around 200 views every day. Most of the traffic comes from Google when people search for whateverlife. My page comes on No.3 spot at the moment.

Previously this page didn’t have any AdSense ads. There was only one Google image ad, on the right column. If you look now, it has 2 ad-units inside the content, and 1 link-ad unit at the end of the content. Also whateverlife’s url has been changed to normal text, and that increased clicks on the ads.

By the way, inserting link-ad at the end of the post, did increase the earnings by 100%. So the lesson here is, mix and match. And test, test and test!

Why MyBlogLog?

Simply because I check MyBlogLog community very often, and while I am at it, I can quickly scan my stats.

Yes, there are many other very sophisticated tracking tools that I use, but I simply do not check them everyday. Maybe once or twice a month only. And that makes it difficult to detect most viewed pages, and most clicked links for day, as well as for the last 7 days.

Most Popular Posts ≠Most Viewed Posts for the day

Please note that, most viewed pages are different from most popular posts. Most popular posts are not necessarily the pages that are getting the highest pageviews at the moment. They might have the highest total pageviews (since you started your blog), but in order to find the highest viewed pages for today and yesterday, you should use MyBlogLog or check your other stats tool daily.

But obviously, you should monetize your most popular posts too. No doubt about it. What I want to point out here is that, daily most popular pages might change from week to week. Since you will be posting different topics every day. Therefore, it’s important to know and detect these pages. And while they are popular, you should seize the opportunity and monetize them!

    Mulamaker, yes I did see a hike today for whatever traffic, I almost got 1000 hits from Google.

  6. By Ades on Sep 30, 2007

    Jenny, I think if you increase your blog traffic, you will start to see a trend in your top10 pages.

    Rabin, you are welcome. Glad that you are benefiting from my blog.

    Dave, hopefully you will start to see some earnings soon. Don’t be discouraged. Also try to use some other publisher programs, because AdSense is not doing very good in general.

    Hi Ades,
    thanks for the reply. I’m also using PayPerPost and got 5 dollars today for writing a post. Im hoping to start getting more income by using the likes of PayPerPost. Any ideas on which other advertising programs I could use?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    I think you are on the right track Dave, maybe you could improve the design of the blog.

  11. By Dave on Sep 30, 2007

    actually, the design of the blog is one thing that I always liked - i hope you dont mean fully? :(. Maybe by re-arranging the order of the content in the sidebar wouldnt be a bad idea? That’s one thing I was hoping to do tonight anyway. Thanks for stopping by :)

  12. By Ades on Sep 30, 2007

    Dave, design is subjective, so if you like it, then that’s the most important thing. Personally I thought it could be improved, at the moment it looks like a warez site with all the dark grey coloring. That’s my opinion only…

    MyBlogLog violates AdSense TOS. MBL publicly releases your AdSense Click through Rate (violation of section 7, TOS). See this article for proof.

    MyBlogLog has done a great job of not only building apps but building a community on there and being response to what the community wants. Truly a marriage of users and managers working together.
    Cheers,
