November 3, 2007
This is the second monthly summary in the quest for $10,000 a month in revenue, for October. We will be tracking the site growth both in traffic and revenue here on the site growth page. This site is unique, we show you exactly what our progress is towards $10,000 a month. We discuss what we tried, what worked or did not work.
I have begun to increase the tests and show every detail of the tests so you know exactly what did and did not work. All the tests can be found in the marketing tests category.
The first month was September when the site launched on 9/4/07, this is the first full month.

We also perform various marketing tests, see all of the marketing tests here.Differences this month include revenue from the addition of AdBrite full page advertisements, one per visitor. I found that only a small percentage of the ad inventory was actually used. Two things we did not do this month were paying for Facebook installations and obtaining more Agloco referrals.See the monthly site growth summarized here.This was the first full month, October, next month in November we will focus on affiliate programs and site traffic.
