Wow, it’s already March, I can’t believe it. I suppose this Feb. income report is actually more like the first official income report since it’s the first month that the site has been completely active. If you’ve read the January income report, you can see that between Feb 1-17 I only had 243 visitors to the site… so the last 11 days of the month were very important.
I’ve been testing out some new strategies this month for social sharing, so you’ll see there has been quite a rise in traffic, which is awesome!
Here are my top 10 referring sources:
Yay for Reddit! I admit I am totally a Reddit novice and I’m just now starting to figure it out. I posted a few links from the site and they seem to have attracted some visits, so I’m very grateful for that. I need to figure out how to remove the semalt.com referral since that is not actually a real referral but rather just messing up my stats… Otherwise, everything else checks out except for the buttons-for-website dot com (do not visit this url, it may harm your computer, I tried to visit and got a warning from my anti-virus).
Here’s a breakdown of devices used to view the site:
It’s interesting to me that most of Fryhole’s visitors are still coming from computers. I have some other websites that are much more popular on mobile devices. I’m glad to see that all my hard work on the new website design was put to good use!
Something that I will be focusing on in March is completely optimizing the site for tablet and mobile. It’s about 80% there but I still have a bit of work to do, and more to learn about optimizing sites for mobile. On a side note, if you are interested in how to customize your WordPress site, feel free to check out another one of my websites, Kirateria, which is dedicated to website customization and solutions.
Are you ready to see how much I earned in Feb. 2015?!
AdSense // $2.51
Amazon Associates // $0
Bluehost // $0
Elegant Themes // $0
GoDaddy // $0
Studiopress // $0
I can’t decide if I should be proud or completely embarrassed… ehhh, I’ll look on the bright side, hey I have $2.51 more than I had last month! You gotta start somewhere, right?
Since I have multiple websites, it wouldn’t make sense to include all of my expenses here. This site and Kirateria are the only websites I’m attempting to monetize.
Here are some overall site stats:
Google Page Rank // 2/10
Domain Authority // 18/100
Page Authority // 30/100
Alexa Rank // 11,462,100
Alexa USA Rank // 1,319,025
Referring Domains // 33
Here are my social stats. I think it’s important to share this information with you too because a solid social media presence is key to success. Again, remember that I’m essentially starting from ground zero, so these numbers are very low. 🙂
My strength has and will always be Twitter, aka the most misunderstood social media channel out there, but I think it is the most important, especially when you’re launching a new venture/idea.

Congrats on your income! I’m kind of in the same boat as I am just starting out and haven’t garnered much traffic. It’s nice to see with some hard work it can be done! I’ve posted on reddit too but have not received much traffic. what sub are you posting to?

Hey Sarah, Thanks for the comment! For Reddit I’m experimenting posting on different subreddits – I’ve tested general food, specific kinds of food, local food, etc… also testing different times of day. It’s too soon to tell… hope that helps!
