How slack am I?  I haven’t updated for such a long time.  To be honest I’ve had a bad few weeks, my dog passed away about three weeks ago and I was absolutely devastated.  He was only five years old and had no known health issues so it came as a huge shock when he died and it has really unsettled me quite a bit.  I haven’t been very focused on anything, personal or work, so that is one big reason why I haven’t been updating.

So, now I’m back on track and getting focused again and I actually have some good news on the reporting side of things.

Blog #1 – This is my good blog at the moment, it is doing really well.  I am actually ranked #1 in Google for my main keyword phrase.  Now there isn’t a huge amount of searches for the main keyword phrase but enough that I’m getting some traffic and making a little money with it.  So my goal now with this blog is to focus on a couple of different LSI keyword phrases and try to rank for them also.

For the month of July, Blog #1 earned $8.66 in Adsense and around $7 from Amazon.  So far in August it has earned $3.02 in Adsense, so it is gradually picking up in earning, although not enough to earn an income from, it is at least starting to earn some income now.

Blog #2 – this one is still very slow earning just 66c in July in Adsense and around $2.00 from Amazon.

Blog #3 – this one is doing nothing at all and I’m actually considering selling this one as I am just not finding the time to work on this one.

Blog #4 – I haven’t done anymore work on this one either which I really should as this is a good site and has great potential if I could just get off my but and work on it.

Blog #5 – still working away at this one, and this one isn’t doing too bad.  Although no huge income from it as yet and I’m not ranking well at all in Google, I do still manage to get a couple hundred visitors a day.  This one earned $4.98 in Adsense in June and just 88c so far in August.  This one has around 200 backlinks and just not ranking well, I have no idea why but I’m really struggling to get this one to rank.  This is my biggest site with quite a lot of pages and posts on it, but it is just struggling to rank.

So that’s my update, nothing huge again but slowly getting there.  I really do need to get much more focused and put more energy and attention into the blogs to get them going.
