August Financial Goals

Instead of updating once a week on my financial goals, for now I have decided to update once a month. If I have more time I might try to update twice a month, but I'm way behind on work due to this bug that I cannot seem to shake, so I need to spend time trying to get well and also concentrate on getting my income back up.

I do have the rest of August's financial goal, so I will share it with you. I want to thank those who have been visiting google ads and kontera ads. They not only help the companies who use my page, they help me in increasing my income as well. So, thank you!

Google Adsense: $0.29
Kontera Ads: $0.00
Private Sales: $56.00
PepperJam: $10.00
Payu2blog: $5.00
SocialSpark: $11.00

So for the rest of August, my profit was a total of $82.29. This is only a quarter of what I should be making a month in order to pay bills. Looks like I'm going to be looking for extra freelancing work this month if I want to catch back up and then some!

Rearranging My Blog

I decided to do some rearranging on my blog. The reason for this is because I am working towards better income since I have been working at home. Lately the problem with working at home has been lack of jobs and loss of work due to my personal life. Now that everything is back on track I am hoping to increase my income goal.

One big problem I have however, is that I've noticed my Google PR has dropped. As a matter of fact it went from a PR of a 3 to a 0 in just a few days. Around the same time I also went from about 50,000 backlinks to over a million backlinks in a few days.

The first thing I checked was to see if I am banned from google. I'm not. So then I checked bad backlinks and links who have been banned from google. There were no banned links and only a few bad backlinks that I removed. So now I am stumped. I am wondering if I was spammed. I guess I need to check and see if I was, somehow.

Now some may say to not worry so much about Page Rank with google. In the past it wouldn't have been so much of a worry. But lately, every company is basing money and whether or not a blog gets an opportunity by page ranks. So no page rank means no income for many sites in payperpost, payu2blog and even private sales.

So right now it's been a struggle and I'm trying to figure out how to work through it.

In the meantime, I have rearranged google adsense ads which seems to be doing a little better. Kontera ads are still doing badly, but I have learned that their site is down. Also, I am not thrilled with PepperJam Ads. So far even with all of the clicks I have had from visitors, the companies are not allowing me to profit from them when they are based on traffic not sales.

So as Scrooge says, "Bah Humbug!"

An Update On My Goal

I haven't had much time to really update my blog or do any work online, due to a tragic death in the family and my birthday being yesterday. Unfortunately this put me behind, so I may be working a lot of hours in the near future unless I get some outstanding paying jobs.

Here is an update on what I have been making. Obviously my goal has not been made for the credit card payment this month and I won't be making an extra payment towards it. I will have to try again for next month.
