I hope all of you had a great commission return for December. I exceeded my expectations and I’m continuing to understand a few tips and tricks. Below you can see my rate of growth over the last 12 months:

December was extremely good for ACRUs. Those signups definitely add up, and I was averaging $40+ days in commissions. My clicks remained the same compared to November, but my sales and leads went through the roof. This tells me the traffic and PPC action remained consistent, but people were in buying mode for the holidays. I was surprised however to see sales continuting past the 25th though. I received a $16 commission day on the 31st, which was the lowest day after x-mas.

My final number was $1,278.74 dollars in CJ, and spent a total of $343.43 in PPC. Not a bad return for December! I also received decent payouts with AdSense and WidgetBucks for the month as well. I followed my technique for YSM/PPC as illustrated in the following post “How to use PPC with your eBay affiliate store fronts“. Combine this with creating a network of sites reaching this plateu shouldn’t be too difficult for the newbies out there. I’m still a newb in my eyes (and compared to the IM bad-asses out there), so take my earnings/tips with a grain of salt.

So with 2008 officially here, I need to put my goals to work. I’ll be playing with CJ data feeds (not API) and see how those works. I’ll also be putting together more eBay store fronts together, but I want to focus on the data feeds to help round my affiliate basket a bit, I’m definitely too heavy into eBay and need to spread it out.

I also wanted to take a quick moment to thank the individuals out there that have given me words of encouragement… it’s much appreciated!!!!
