Where I'm Making Income

Wow, it's been a while since I made a post.

Anyway, given the passage of time, it's become clear to me that I make most of my online income in the following areas:

1) Text links.
2) Adsense.
3) Share-a-sale.
4) Kontera.

Yes, those are in order. Across a variety of web sites with varying popularities I have been able to consistently earn three digit revenues from static links on a monthly basis.

Adsense is generally providing a mid two digit revenue -- and I greatly wish I could increase that without violating my own sense of ethics.

I haven't been doing so well with Share-a-sale or other affiliate programs. Many people are doing well with Clickbank and other programs -- but, again, this isn't an area that my ethics will let me excel at.

Kontera brings in single digit revenues. I don't work very hard at it and think it is just supplementary -- allowing me to continue pursuing other revenue sources at the same time. I did try Adbrite, but they were absolutely useless for my properties.

The great thing is that I have a full time job and associated income, while my web properties are pretty much on auto-pilot right now.
