I think you all know I put a lot of time and work into ShowMeBlog. I get indexed very fast and very well. I am listed on the front page of many Google searches. I guess I should be happy.
Sometimes one of my posts will get a lot of traffic for a day or two. But day in and day out the normal here is about 500 or 600 viewers. It has been like that for a very long time.
ShowMeBlog is not getting more popular and it is not getting more traffic with time.
I do not blame Google or the search sites. The fault is with me. I am doing something wrong or I am just not doing something right.
If you want a positive stat ShowMeBlog has had almost 2 million pageviews since I started using TypePad for the hosting site. That is a lot of pages that have been viewed by people.
Now about Google AdSense I made $21.34 from Google last month. So far this month, and this is the 16th, I have made $8.05 for half a month. Now that is earnings for all of my blog AND also for my YouTube videos!
I have some real fans on YouTube and I get some nice comments. Sometimes a video will do pretty good. But most of my videos get uploaded and do not get that many views.
People like kitten videos and videos with cute young girls or cute guys. You know I do not blame them. The last thing I would want to look at is some fat old guy on YouTube.
Just like the number of viewers for ShowMeBlog sets at about 600 each day the numbers on YouTube stay about the same. My YouTube videos get about 10,000 a month.
The videos that get the most views are video reviews. For the last 30 days the video that got the most views was “Installing Android 2.2 on a Samsung Intercept.” It got 1,391 views. Now the second place was the “Douglas Kennedy has ‘clash’ with nurses” video with 1,194 views.
I think I could make better videos. It is harder to make videos. It is more work. It is more effort. Or I could just get a pussy (am I talking about getting a cat or a young girlfriend)?
There are people making money from YouTube. I am not one of them.
The reason is that I am not making money from YouTube is that it takes hard work to make money. You have to work at it everyday just like a job.
