Google Analytics Actuals – NEW Master Index

It has been a year since we started posting actual Google Analytics and Adsense statistics for DisplacedGuy.Com.  They have become very popular but we’ve been told that it is hard to locate each of the reports especially for new readers who would like to view them from the beginning in order.

So here is the Entire Collection of Google Analytics Actuals & Adsense Actuals for DisplacedGuy.Com

Money Earned through Adsense on DisplacedGuy.Com

March 2011 turned in around $9.11 in Adsense revenue just down from February 2011 at $9.83.   The highest revenue month is still October 2010 at $14.71.   Most of the newer sites, deployed after DisplacedGuy.Com have overtaken it for adsense revenue because they cover niches that are better suited toward monetization with Adsense ads.

I need to learn other ways to monetize websites.  Look for info on this soon.

I need to share techniques learned for using Adsense Channels.

This has improved to over three pages per visitor which is respectable for a site like DisplacedGuy.Com especially considering that the number of articles written per month is down severely in 2011.  I am very open to guest bloggers please don’t be afraid to contact me about a guest article, see my prior article which talks about different ways to generate traffic and steal traffic from your competitors without them even knowing it (ethically and legally of course).

Adsense Revenue for DisplacedGuy.Com – March 2011

Remember that some data may be reported in multiple channels artificially inflating total earnings numbers.  These are for channels spanning a few of my websites, I greyed out some that were obvious entries for the other sites.  This should illustrate a new strategy I’m using in creation of Adsense Channels.

You are allowed to attach five channels to an Ad, so I created five distinct “groups” as suggested by the help in Google Analytics.  One is for the domain, one for position (e.g. Top, Middle, Bottom),  one for size, one for demographic, and finally one for category.  This gives you a nice view across multiple domains about which things work, notice “Above the Fold” is a top performer.  If you do this and allow advertisers to see your channels they can choose to advertise on your website using your custom and easy to understand channels!
