I was wondering earlier today how much www.seanmcn.com made in 2007, just as I was thinking what would be a nice fun post to start of 2007 on, I then realised that I didn’t know, I remembered some sponsered links here and there but wasn’t sure of the exact figures! So here is how much Seanmcn.com made during 2007. Figures are in dollars because that’s what I was paid in!
Google Adsense: $5.46 [Unclaimed]
Sponsored Links: $100 [Claimed and spent!]
TLA: $0 [Never got it to work..]
PayPerPost: $20 [Claimed and spent!]
Donations: $0
As you can see the big bringer in of money was sponsored links, donations brought in nothing. Even though that’s the most widespread ad, asking you to buy me a coffee under every single post!
Overall during 2007 blogging quiet frequently and not really optomising adverts I made: $125.46 not bad when you really think about it! Let’s hope that in 2008 I can make that bigger!

Damien had a brilliant post about adverts on his blog today, read it here! I aggree with the majority of his points and it made me consider why I want ad’s on my blog! Honestly, I aim my ad’s for what I see as the “dim-witted” users of the internet, as I figure they are the “users” who would click ad’s the most. Stop looking at me like that, I’m right! I’m not going to click an ad on a website/blog going “oooh nice link”.
But anyway, its seems I don’t have enough “dim-witted” users on the blog. As I have only made $0.56 or maybe its the fact that you have to shove the ad in the “dim-witted” users face for it to work and I don’t really feel like changing my design! So until web advertising actually become relevant, or my hosting goes up and it looks like I’ll actually need to try support it via adverts, ADVERTS REVOKED. See, wasn’t that easy?

Thats the one! The stats got abit more respectable and its now possibly worthwile to shove a few ad’s up! Of course I don’t want to annoy you guys, the RSS feed is ad free and there will be very little noticable adverts unless you go back through old posts or come into the website from a search. This is because my main target audience for these adverts are people ariving from searches. Cool hey? People let me know what you think. Did you even notice the adverts?

Something I’m very very guilty off, clicking ad’s purposely, do any of you guys do it? Now I’m not talking about clicking every ad on a website and then their account gets suspended because of it just because I like ad’s.. Nope, not that one! But there’s an idea for that No-Firefox website! 
What I am talking about is when you actually like a blog post, and see a few adverts in the sidebar, ever feel that the blogger deserves a couple of cents? I do this pretty often, if I read a blog post belonging to you, and I enjoyed it. I’ll click maybe 1 - 2 adverts [one at a time, waiting for each to load fully] then be on my way. Sure thats only €0.04 or something, but its better than nothing for the blogger! I was just wondering am I the only person doing this, or are there others?
