While I had hoped to improve my Google Pagerank in September, the fact that I was traveling for most of the month, meant that I was unable to do the important work of building relationships, fine tuning traffic sources, and maximizing my gains. However, as you can see from comparing the September results with the August results, my vital statistics have improved drastically in virtually every area. For instance, have a look at the increases in traffic and twitter followers. These were two areas I focused on in the first ten days of the month before I was traveling. Also look at the massive improvement in Technorati and Alexa rankings. These are important gains. In addition, I am indexed in several search engines in a big way that I was absent from before. Not bad.

In terms of monetization, this month was not ideal. On the positive side, I spent nothing this month since I debited all my expenses from the first months results in August.
Since I am only counting money which enters my Paypal or bank account, I am still unable to count any income from ReviewMe, Adsense, or Kontera since I am still under the minimum payouts with these revenue streams. I will tell you though, that there was about $100 total generated from all three.
I sold ads on several sites for a total of about $25 without third party intervention.
Since I wasn’t actively working on making money, most of my generated income falls under a net 30 or net 60 window, so they don’t count for this month.
Online book sales were right around $40.
And that’s it for money in my pocket.
On the positive side for about $65.
Unfortunately, this month will probably be about the same because of the lack of time I have been putting into the site. How about all of you? What kind of success and/or failures did you have in September?
