If you haven’t downloaded the Jesus Mii and you have a Wii, please do. It’s hilarious to hear things like
“Jesus just passed me!”
“Daddy, what if Jesus passes you?”
“Jesus is doing step with us!”
“Jesus is throwing you a hula hoop!”

June OTH Report
Alrighty, folks! I mentioned in my last report that June might be a slow month for my OTH site. Boy, was I wrong. Now, we didn’t have the highs we did at the season finale in May but the month was steady and the ads ROCKED making for a record high in financial numbers.
This month included a few highlights worthy of mention
- We got a new dedicated server this month. We just moved onto it Sunday and so far I’m not too happy. The server is really slow which is really disappointing considering it’s a DEDICATED SERVER. I’ve got a ticket in with the host and I’m hoping they shed some light on it. New server means more money though so that is definitely going to cut into profits.
- I branched out into a new ad network this month…eBay Partner Network. I just link to items on eBay that our readers might be interested in and WOW, this was the second highest source of income for the month.
- We implemented avatars in our comments and the people seem to like that quite a bit. I’m hoping that increases comments and therefore hits more. Not to mention I LOVE looking at all the pretty icons.
Ok, onto the numbers. I can’t tell you how excited I am about these. In fact, to be quite honest, I kind of feel bad for how much I’m making for doing something part-time that I love so much.
BlogHerAds: $1224
Adsense: $204
Kontera $27.90
Linkshare: $14.04
Amazon: $11.87
eBay: $332.51
Did you see that? $332 just for posting links to eBay…isn’t that crazy? And it’s not like I’m doing it every day..I post only the interesting things that I would be intereting buying like signed scripts, unique clothing, etc.
BlogHerAds were awesome as I mentioned! We were looking at $2 for every 1000 page loads! Usually if you’re lucky, you get $1 and some only give .50 so I’m ecstatic about that.
What I’m still disappointed with is Adsense. Based on my traffic, people say that should be much higher. Oh well. I guess some sites lend to one thing while others are good at other things.
All in all, that’s a total of $1815! $1815!!! That’s insane! The show isn’t even on right now! That makes me really excited for the fall and what could-be.
I like to make predictions for the next month and I’ll say with filming going on the next month, I think traffic will remain steady but unless BlogHerAds continue with such high numbers, I seriously doubt the financial numbers will be as good.
But for now…I’m lovin’ June!!
