Total affiliate type revenue for January was $4,883.78 ($157.54 a day). That’s broken my 6 months in a row increasing revenue streak 
It’s down about $140 compared to December, but still $80 more than the month before that.
You can see from the numbers below everything is similar to the previous month except Clickbank which is down about $130. At the beginning of January I had a lot of no sales days: only ONE sale in the first 10 days of the month!!!
Just a bad month for Clickbank!
As always this revenue does not include the money I make through my SEO business, themes sold at SEO/AdSense Themes or any investments, so ONLY affiliate and advertising (AdSense type programs) revenue.

Since June 1st 2008 to January 31st 2010 I’ve made $79,031.10 from affiliate revenue sources.
Average monthly revenue (20 months) $3,951.56 $3,840.25
To reach my millionaire goal by the age of 45 (May 19th 2015) or ~7 years from making these revenue reports, I’d need to earn on average $400 a day.
Averaging affiliate revenue per day (over the 610 days) : $129.56 a day, not even close 
I’ve spent a lot of my spare time last month working on a Clickbank version of my AdSense/SEO WordPress theme called Talian 04 (it runs on this site). I started the testing process in the last week of January on three domains and for one site (the one with most traffic) it didn’t go well at all, not well compared to AdSense or Clicksor/Chitika income anyway.
The other two domains, this one which runs a combination of Clickbank and AdSense ads and SEO/AdSense Ready WordPress Themes site runs just Clickbank ads are not really high traffic sites, so take time for tests to yield conclusive results (a week or so isn’t long enough). So far they aren’t making as much as they used to make on AdSense alone: about 80% the revenue of AdSense, but a couple of Clickbank sales could change that.
If I can ever work out how to create a membership site I might soon be moving into publishing my first Clickbank product. When I’ve finished the Clickbank WordPress theme I plan to sell it through Clickbank with affiliates etc…

Put the wrong AdSense figure in, I used Decembers AdSense earnings of £693.14 instead of January £697.21 ($1,082.29) by mistake.
Since it’s only £4 ($7) not going to bother changing it. Quite surprised how close the earnings are month to month.

Winners in life are people who keep trying and exploring and keep their mind open.
If Clickbank does not work, perhaps its time or focus or number of ads, maybe it would be better a select few ads in a bigger banner or image?
Or maybe Clickbank is not ‘the’ alternative to Adsense?
I think anyone who finds or develops an alternative to Adsense will make a lot of money.
Its the thing many people are looking for.
Or maybe Adsense at this juncture is the best solution. And if a site can not run Adsense,hmm.
I like the way you quantify your results with accuracy and honesty like a scientist.

Wow.. That’s all I can say.. That’s a great amount of money made by affiliate programs!
Would you list a couple that you currently use?
Is there any way to earn money online?
Hey Dave,
That is real nice earnings there! My earnings have been up also. But I sell products that I purchase wholesale or I drop ship them. I still have a couple of affiliate sites. I basically do everything cause you know me I get kind of bored! LOL! I still design websites for people once in a while when I find time. We might need to hook up with some more links here and there. That way we can spread them out some.
Anyway, I was thinking about ya the other day and thought I would check in with ya and see what is going on.
I also keep busy with Facebook. Look me up, there isn’t very many Stacey Pettibone(s) around!
Catch you later! Hope you back is doing well after your surgery. I read about it.

Hey Stacey, long time no ‘see’.
I’ve been taking it easy for most of the last few years because of my back (spent almost a year just playing online games when I wasn’t maintaining SEO clients). Slowly getting better after the operation, keep getting colds (getting over one now) that throws me off a lot more than it should. I always do worse in winter because of the cold weather, just started getting warm days so really looking forward to building up my fitness and having lots of fun this year.
Been to two tribute band concerts his year so far, 1st was a Michael Jackson tribute band called WHOS Bad (was very good) and the other a Bon Jovi tribute band called The Bon Jovi Experience. Big Bon Jovi fan (favourite music), and the tribute band was REALLY good and had a load of fun despite us all having a bad cold at the time (few days ago), so couldn’t whooo very loud
Good news is I can finally sit for more than 10 minutes at a time without my back hurting like !!!!, now I get the equivalent of saddle sore (like what you get when you’ve not rode a bike for a while
) before my back hurts, but that will get better as my bum gets stronger 
)
Managed to get my wife building sites http://www.skegness-attractions.co.uk/ that’s just one of three sites and a fourth on the way about the London Olympics
Hope everything is going well with you and your family.

Everything is fine, became a grandmother again and the last kid is almost out of the nest.
I am just working on building sites and teaching my hubby to do some, but it is hard as he leaves on jobs here and there.
Glad your surgery went well! It will make things easier on you.
How is the renovation on your house? Should be able to get back to it since you got your back fixed.
Well going to get off and get back to work. Worked on this one site for 3 good days, then the cart got corrupted when I was changing some files. Stupid php stuff. I can’t find the messed up file so I am redoing it.
Take Care!
