Just organic John and links from other sites, no PPC is done on any of my sites. 11% is direct, 46% Google 11% Yahoo. 45k visitors in the last 30 days. From analytics search sent 31,339 total visits via 3,118 keywords.

I was just wondering which keywords is the site optimized for? It ranks 7th for “printable calendar” and 9th for “free printable calendar”.

But i don’t get how around 74k monthly searches of “printable calendar” translate into around 59k page impressions per month with the site being ranked seventh on the first page of google.

The traffic has to be non-organic or from referring sites?

Thanks and Regards,
John

Heh, I’ve never really thought about buying and improving sites before. This has got my brain ticking

Sounds like an awesome way to keep adding to my asset list just like a house or stocks but with much greater returns and far less investment

Thanks man!

Congratulations Scot, a nice income stream for a zero maintenance site. No doubt it looks even better with sterling falling rapidly against the dollar!

The GBP has just fallen to a six year low against the USD, good news for those in the UK using Adsense. Very nice result with the mini site, it’s all pure profit from now on

It’s a huge advantage with the current exchange rate. Although it wasn’t that long ago when it was the other way around. Considering a US bank account so that I can change money over when the going is good.

I think the mention about the currency exchange rate is a good one. For example the revenue I earn from affiliation that gets paid in $$ is now worth more in ££ so profits are rising nicely in that revenue stream. Selling websites to those across the pond will also help get more ££ even if the website has the same $$ value

Yup, time flies gentlemen. We’re already coming to the end of 2008 and I keep on asking myself what the hell happened to the year.
