Adsense is Dead

Interestingly I found this new marketing spin call “The Death of Adsense“

Normally I get bombarded with so many “marketing guru” email daily that I just ignore the pitch. But something about it caught my attention.

First was the graphic, impactful, shocking, got my attention.

Then it was the free report. Yeah I got lots of free reports saved on my harddisk. Wouldn’t mind adding another to the collection. Why not?

Then I found that I was duped! The guy before got paid $0.50 just for me to download it. (That’s Fifty, five-o, 1/2 a dollar, NOT a fraction of a cent!)

What! The guy behind this spin is on drug or he is crazy or both! A viral marketing like this would create thousands if not tens of thousand of download. And he is paying for each download!

Well, what you waiting for? Click here to bust this guy and earn me 50 cents.

StumbleUponMany had pointed to tried and tested method of using Digg and del.icio.us as source of traffic.

In this article I’m introducing another source - StumbleUpon, as a good source of traffic.

For the past few months I notice StumbleUpon appearing as referrer on one of my site. I didn’t take notice because the figure wasn’t significant.

A few days ago though, I submitted Free Biz Ware to StumbleUpon and was duly blown away by the result.

Take a look at these traffic charts.

Review of week 31 - 32 (31 Jul - 13 Aug) & 33 - 34 (14 Aug - 27 Aug)

When you don’t see much activity on a site it can mean either one of two things - 1. the owner had given up; or 2. the owner had been busy with other (more important) things.

In the case of Seeking Revenue, you can be sure that this owner had not given up. And yes I was busy with other things. Things outside of the online world - work and life in general.

Still August is a great month. Revenue for August grew by 61% better than the 49% target last month. As a result the average growth rate has eased to 45% until the end of year. Of course I will still be pushing as hard as possible.

Traffic is a mixed bag. Not much improvement for most. I am going to do more submission and directories to see if that helps.
