As promised, I’ve launched the newly designed Watermark Tool for you all to play with. Besides the new design, there’s a few new features adding to the watermarking process itself. The biggest addition is probably the fact that you can do bulk watermarking for up to 10 images at a time.

The site is still 100% free with no signups or registrations required so be sure to check it out if you ever need to protect your images.

So it’s been some time since I’ve given an update on the latest new developments with the network. Back in September I posted about a few projects I had planned, and really not much has changed since then. I did get the big update of Wii Play done a couple months back and I’m currently working on the redesign of Watermark Tool as I had planned. Of course, I did throw in a Poker Directory that I hadn’t mentioned at all, so I’ve definitely been busy.

I hope to have the Watermark Tool redesign done by January, with me then having to decide on what project to tackle next. I’m debating between redesigning the Office Humor Blog (it definitely could use it!) and starting up a new site using the Wii Play architecture. Of course, knowing me, I’ll end up doing something completely different - but at least I set goals right?

November continued the holiday surge, breaking my monthly earnings record (which was previously set last month). I added a new source of revenue in November - direct ads - which are ad sales I set up myself with advertisers for certain sites. Adding a new revenue source means most of the percentages for the other sources all went down across the board, even with most of them having their highest monthly earnings yet.

1. Google Adsense - 41% of my November earnings came from Google Adsense clicks - down 9% from last month though on par with October’s totals.
2. Text Link Ads - Text Link Ads accounted for 27% of my earnings which is down 2%.
3. Direct Ad Sales - Selling ads directly proved to be a great experiment as the earnings from those sales made the income source debut in 3rd place for me with most of the ads being purchases for multiple months.
   
4. CJ and Amazon - Commission Junction and Amazon jumped ahead of SIAB GEAR last month, bringing in 13% of my earnings, with both Commission Junction and Amazon bringing in nearly an equal share.
5. SIAB GEAR - SIAB GEAR moved down a spot (2 if you include Direct Ad Sales) and brought in 4%.
6. Chitika - Chitika continues to sit at the bottom, pulling in 3% of my earnings last month.

It will be interesting to see if the holiday push will continue through December or if November will prove to be my biggest month.
