I had set up target of 1 Million page views for 2013. To reach that I need average monthly page view of around 85,000. I was short of this target this month but good thing is it is 33% more from December. I hope it turns out better for next month.

I have also started my twitter account this month. So you can follow me on twitter.

Revenues:

As of today I have only Infolinks on the site. As I said earlier, this is not a great revenue generator and has generated USD 41 in Jan 2013. I had removed Infolinks for a week to check how it impacted the traffic, readership experience, etc. I would soon publish my findings on the same.

Also I got $ 40 in direct advertisement.

So the total earning for Jan 2013 was $ 81.

I applied for Google Adsense but was denied citing the following reason – “site does not comply with google policies”.

The reason is as vague as it can be and I tried looking for answers but am not able to fix this till now. If anyone can help me let me know.

Last but not the least I would love to hear from my readers about how I can better serve them. You can contact me through the Contact form or email me on [email protected].
