I would like to say thank you to everyone that entered the contest, please stay tuned for any further contests, I am hoping to have another one near the end of August.
The end of the month has arrived and I am now looking forward towards August, one of my decisions now is what to do with my 125×125 Ad spots for the month.
I have one spot being given away to the winner of my contest and have agreed a deal with another blogger to show their Ad on my site in August, that leaves four free Ad spots for the month of August.
In my eyes I have two options, I can either sell the remaining 4 spots for a set amount, or I can go for the riskier option of adding affiliate Ads which could yield higher results but could also earn nothing.
It seems that many bloggers go for a mix of direct ad sales and affiliate ads on their blogs, this is a good way of getting a fixed amount as well as a varied amount. I think that this is the best way of optimising your blogs income, I have decided to sell 4 of my spots directly and have the other two spots as affiliate Ads.

July has been a very big month for ProTycoon.com, I have seen my subscriber count destroy the 100 subscribers target I set out to achieve for the month. I have also seen a big jump in traffic and comments, this has all helped to push my Technorati rank to around the 75k mark.
A lot has happened over the month in terms of posts and competitions so I thought I would have a short review of the month.
Top Posts This Month
As you can see there have been some really good posts this month.
I run a number of blogs, and some other random money making sites as well. Up until now all my blogs have been single author, meaning that I am the only person writing on them. I have always liked it this way as I can be in total control of the content on the blog.
However, with the rise in popularity of some of my blogs I have less time per blog, so I have decided to change my way of doing things and opt for a writing team on one of my new blogs.
There are of course advantages and disadvantages to forming a writing team on a blog, lets look at why some people prefer working as a team:
- More content can be produced quicker time frame
- Different views can be expressed on the same blog
- Promotion can be done by several people instead of just one, gain exposure faster
