Hello my friends,

I read the article Steve has posted here again and wonder if he has also published any similar article about his 2007 progressions because he has promised in that article that he will do it.

I am curious to know how his website traffic and Adsense revenue is now. I am sure it is increased but I am really curious to hear it from Steve because he has one of the most popular weblogs.

Thanks!

I stopped posting income updates because I got tired of all the feedback from people saying that I was lying about how much I earn or that it was impossible to earn than much from blogging... not to mention the requests from newbie bloggers who wanted free coaching. Having those emails clog my inbox got stale after a while. Suffice it to say it's more than enough to pay the bills.

My income today is more diversified than it used to be. Adsense isn't as big a piece of the puzzle as it once was. I also have a book coming out, so I got a sizable advance for that, and I do paid speaking as well. Also Erin's income is doing better than ever, and she gets most of her clients from referrals from my site.

As far as traffic, growth has slowed since the early days because it takes a lot more visitors to make a significant increase, but currently it's around 2.4 million visitors and 7.6 million page views per month and still rising. Bandwidth usage is about 1.2TB per month.

Does the 7.6 million page views include forum page views, or just the main website?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for replying my post personally. I am so proud of it. And congratulations for your progressive success. I wish you more success. Please forget about some of the comments and emails. I know some people love to harass the others specially when they see some people are really successful.

My curiosity is mainly about the Adsense. I want to have a clue about the future of my Adsense income. I know any website and weblog is different because the ads are different. But if it is possible, just please tell me what the May's "Page impressions", "Clicks" and "Page CTR" was. I don't even need the money it made for you. I just want to compare it with my own weblog.

Please also do me another favor. I have another post here. Please kindly read it and let me know about your idea. Thousands of thanks in advance.

It's everything combined. The blog still gets more page views than the forums, partly because there are lots of blog posts that rank high in search engines and which have lots of incoming links from other sites.

A significant chunk of the site's bandwidth is soaked up by the 20 podcasts. Each podcast gets several thousand downloads per month.

I can't post detailed Adsense stats because it's against the Adsense ToS to do so (last time I checked).

Wow! I'm surprised. Make sense now when I think about it. I'm so used to being on this forum that I hadn't realized most people probably don't ever go on the forum.
