Well, April was a month of getting back on track. Not that I’m where I want to be - my earnings have basically been flat since November. Given the economy I guess I should be OK with that, but I really want more than that… If I were growing 6.5% per month (which is my goal this year), I’d be up 20+%, but instead I’m stuck at flat earnings. March was a bad month for me since I got distracted. At least in April I reversed that trend…

Before I start - April was a day shorter than March, so going down 3% would have been staying the same. So add 3% to the numbers as you see them…

And one other thing - I had another server outage in April. The monitoring program I had monitoring my other server wasn’t monitoring my porn server, so I’ve rewritten the app and shouldn’t have long outages in the future…

rawTOP.com

Well, I peaked at 4,322 visitors on the 26th - which is good to see… Been hovering around 4,000 for a while now - obviously I want to see that continue to go up and will be happy when I’m consistently above 4,000. Either way, traffic went up 2.5% (+3% for the shorter month), which is good.

The big increase was in organic traffic, and the primary reason was because I got (and held) the top ranking for the term ‘Leo Giamani‘. I’ve put the graph below, but it represented a 124% increase in traffic on that exact term, and 88% for all keywords with ‘giamani’ in them. I now get substantially more traffic on ‘giamani’ keywords than I do on ‘rawtop’ keywords. The funny part is that there’s a rumor Leo is upset about the whole bareback thing and wants to reform his act and only do condom stuff - but the top site for his name is my bareback site. Hopefully he’ll do more bareback stuff so I can keep the content fresh and my top spot secure.

I should also mention that traffic on ‘rawtop’ is down about 9% (6% after factoring the 3% in for the shorter month), as is traffic on my sex blog. There’s a simple reason for this - I haven’t been in a sexual mood the past months and my loyal readers are getting tired of me not having sex. I don’t fuck just to keep my readers amused, but it is an effect… At least some of that traffic will come back as my sex life resumes. Going to IML will definitely help in that regard…

Here’s the change in traffic on ‘Leo Giamani‘…

WilyWilly.com

Traffic continues to go up on Wily Willy, which is good… It’s up 12% (+3%). Part of the increase is referrals from rawTOP.com - since I mentioned the site prominently in a blog post on rawtop. But if you look at organic traffic you’d think it had gone down since the number is red, but only it’s relative percentage went down. Search engine traffic actually went up 7% (+3%) - so that’s an objective number that I’m glad to see continuing to go up.

TwistedPig.com

After a long time of not linking to Twisted Pig from rawTOP.com, I finally did since it seemed pertinent and there were enough posts on the site to mention it. I actually did a poll asking people whether they thought I should show gloves in fisting scenes and got a resounding 2-to-1 ‘no’.

So while that increase looks exciting it’s not as exciting as you might think since it’s bareback traffic that’s already seen my bareback porn blog. That said I am starting to see sales off the site. It’s selling My Gay Cash’s BulldogPit.com pretty well.

My Gay Cash Hosted Blogs

At a bit over 2% growth (+3%) the hosted blogs are going well. Again, this is just my traffic on those blogs. And I’m seeing a growth in organic traffic (a bit over 5% +3%), which is sorta my objective with having these blogs. The one blog that’s just not performing for me at all is the Bulldog Pit blog. Not sure why…

DirtiDarlene.com

Once again - Dirti Darlene just sorta sits there and continues to get traffic (not sure why).

Affiliate Traffic And Revenue

If you add in the 3% for the shorter month, outbound traffic was up about 5.4% and revenue about 8%. Given that my goal is 6.5% growth each month that’s good, though I do have some catching up to do.

And again, the programs are sorted in order of revenue earned. The first few are the most important and the others far less important.

What’s interesting is how the Leo Giamani traffic at rawtop.com pushed Jake Pays into the #2 slot. My traffic to them was up 31% (+3%) and revenue doubled. Just shows how some traffic is just worth more than other traffic. People who search on the name of a porn star seem to want to buy memberships to sites featuring that porn star. You can also tell by the conversion ratio - 1:124 - I wish I had that conversion ratio for all my sponsors!
