The holidays are over and with them, the shopping season. As expected, December proved to be the highest earning month in 2007 for me. I’m guessing the totals will dip a little in January and February as spending dies down.

1. Google Adsense - Like November, Adense accounted for 41% of my earnings last month.
2. Text Link Ads - Text Link Ads dipped a bit to 23% of my earnings which is down 4%, though it’s more that other programs did better than normal than Text Link Ads doing worse.
3. Direct Ad Sales - stayed firmly in 3rd with 16% of my earnings - proving it was a wise decision to start incorporating direct ad sales into some of my sites.
   
4. SIAB GEAR - SIAB GEAR moved up a spot bringing in more than double it’s November earnings with 9.5%.
5. CJ and Amazon - Commission Junction and Amazon slipped a bit to 6% of my earnings, which will likely continue to slide as online spending slows.
6. Chitika - Chitika continues to sit at the bottom, pulling in 3% of my earnings last month.

Overall I’m pretty happy with my earnings growth in 2007. My December 2007 revenue was nearly double that of 2006 which is good, but perhaps not quite as good as I would have hoped. A job change during the last half of 2007 slowed my progress with my network here, though it was still a productive year for me. I still have a seemingly endless list of projects for the network, so hopefully I can knock a few out in 2008… but I’ll leave those plans for another post.
