Thumbnail image for June 2011: Blog Summary & Income Report (the last report to be published – it’s been 2 years)

This blog summary & income report for June is heavily delayed and I’m sorry about that. I wasn’t sure whether or not I was going to post it as I’ve decided to stop posting these. But, I figured I’d just include June also since I would then have published income reports for 2 years, ever [...]

I don’t know where you’re from, but in my part of the world, today is the day where we celebrate Christmas. We get together with family, eat dinner and open up the gifts from under the Christmas tree during the evening. What’s for dinner? I’m not sure yet, but it’s usually duck or pork loin, [...]

Thumbnail image for Infolinks vs Kontera for contextual in-text advertising (split test)

TechPatio is around 14 months old/young and back in the days when I first started this blog, I tried out contextual in-text ads. Initially I went with Kontera but I never got it to work so I had to do Infolinks instead. After some time, maybe a few months I guess, I decided it wasn’t [...]

A new month has arrived and that means it’s time to look back and see how August went for TechPatio.com in terms of traffic and money. I was on a two week vacation in August so I didn’t really have much time to write content and do the usual marketing, but thanks to a bunch [...]

Intro Offer: Advertise on TechPatio – $10/month

Thumbnail image for Intro Offer: Advertise on TechPatio – $10/month

I don’t know what to call this, a bargain, a steal? Either way, I’m pretty sure that $0.33 CPM is rather cheap for either a 468×60 upper right corner header banner ad or a 160×600 skyscraper middle right banner ad, am I right? Let’s be honest here, I’m new to this whole advertisement business but [...]

I don’t know what happened in July, but the numbers are pretty amazing! Since it’s Summer and with a few major sporting events going on (one ended July 11th, the World Cup in football), I figured that people would either watch TV or be away on vacation – not read blogs. But for some reason, [...]

12 months. One year. That’s how old TechPatio.com is right about now. It doesn’t feel like one full year just went by, but nevertheless, that’s what the calendar says. I will write more about that in another blog post, in the near future. But now it’s about last month, June, and how TechPatio did when [...]
