How much affiliate income tracking money are we making?
This is the page where I will be tracking the affiliate income I am bringing in month by month via my online ventures. This is one of several ways we are working on getting out of debt and more ways to generate income. Keep in mind the amounts may change as I run month-end reports or affiliate sales get reversed. I’d love your comments below as to what you think we are doing right, wrong and otherwise. Please make sure you read our disclosure page.
5/13/2011: Yes I’ve made since I stopped this chart below. But I need to find an easier way than dealing with HTML tables. Can you embed a google spreadsheet read only into a blog posts? Your comments are welcome on this topic.

Warning about using Google Adsense for online income:
From July 07 to March 2008 I had put up a local site about us building a house. I used the domain name of a popular event and put adsense on it. It raised $88.75 in adsense earnings – which Google promptly confiscated with the message ‘invalid clicks’. I received no more information than that. To me invalid clicks means I was clicking on my own ads – which I never did. What this means is that since you are under the control of google they can legally rob you of money. Just beware – Google can take any of your money any time they want. Take our your balance as soon as possible at all times to avoid losing what you have rightfully earned. There are other better ways to generate an affiliate income with a 3rd party involved to prevent this kind of crap. We will keep adsense on here for now but may remove it later.
Update End of September 2011
We just went over $100 in our Google Adsense account so Google has issued us a check. When we get that we’ll take a picture of it and show you. Not to brag, but just so you know that (hopefully) Google does not scam people out of money. It’s also nice to know that you can actually make money with a website.
