I’m not sure I quite understand one part of your article. What part of your content was automated? I would love to figure out a clever way to autogenerate some good content, but so far my ideas are too spammy for me to take seriously.

If anything I’d say Adsense income has increased at a higher level than traffic. In later months I missed tinkered with placement a fair bit and saw some great increases because of it. The biggest monthly increase was over $3K but you’ll have to wait a fair few weeks for that post.

I find that surprising too, at the time you don’t realise it at all but if you do enough posts eventually you’ll get the break.

I also find it’s often the post you have to out that extra bit of effort into that makes the difference. The number of times I couldn’t really be bothered to do a post but forced myself into it and then saw that post do really well is pretty high.
