wow… this is pretty interesting albeit it will also take a lot of time before I could earn even a small portion of your monthly earnings…

That is certainly a very important aspect for affiliate marketers. For example, Christmas, Valentines, Mother’s Day, etc. are all very important seasons for affiliate marketers because there is so much more search for those terms during those months, with people ready and willing to buy.

However, in my little world, seasons and such rarely effect me. The only time I ever notice anything is that usually around July I get a bit of an influx of advertisers for PFO. I’m pretty sure this is because it’s when the WSOP runs.

Tyler, you’ve been posting your ad revenues for getting closer to what, two years now on your blog? I’m curious if you’re able yet to see any sort of trend that certain times of the year are noticeably slower/less sales (or higher). and/or if that differs from niche to niche you’re working in? It wasn’t until earlier this year that the thought had even crossed my mind about the cycles of marketing that occur thru the year. Do you ever try to cash in on those cycles – such as during the holidays thru the year?

Keep up the good work Tyler. The goal you’ve set is pretty high but I think you can make. Keep up the posting frequency, not only to reach your goal but to keep me happy lol. I wish you luck for next month.

Tyler, have you thought about doing a complete redesign on your blog? It’s been the same now for a while and it would make sense (in my mind) to redesign the layout to enable you to offer more adverts if required and just to refresh it. Just my thoughts

Good work Tyler. I wouldnt stress too much about the earnings dip. It appears to be a dead time for any marketers. As for the leaderboard, chances are that people arent interested because its too ad-like. Visitors know where the header banner will be and it’ll either be the 460×90 or the leaderboard and eyes automatically skip it. Try swapping it out with an 350×250 large rectangle that appears in content and I bet you’ll sell the spot. For my sites, its my best earner, same thing goes with John Chow.
