“PMC Funding Review”

June has been my worst month for Google Adsense revenue since I signed up last year. As of this moment, June was worth $8.35. May was worth only $8.85. April was worth $17.38. March was $22.59.

My overall traffic is up, with or without all the extra crawler traffic and spam-referrers. So the problem is not "lack of guests."

Let's see. How about sales through Amazon? Most pages on the site include links to Amazon on the right of the page, and all of the regular readers know that buying stuff from Amazon through links on this site are a great way to help me raise money for the PMC without costing them an extra penny. Hmm... revenue for June, to date: $1.29. Nope, that's not going to help very much. May was $11.50, that's a little better. (Just 521 more more months like that and I'll reach my $6,000 goal! Woo hoo!) April wasn't bad: $38.14.

Sarcasm ahead...

This all makes sense, actually. All ad and Amazon revenue is being donated to the PMC, and the rest of my PMC fundraising is also way down. So of course, guests to [tw] would want to be very sparing with their ad clicks. I mean, it's just cancer. There are only so many clicks to go around, and it's not like Amazon sells anything besides books, right?

OK, enough with the sarcasm. I know that at least part of the problem is that I've talked a lot about my cycling but very little about the PMC.

If you want to help out, you can read about why I'm doing this, and then please go make a donation. Any amount from $10 to $1000 is wonderful!

(If you've donated in the past, but aren't this year, would you care to tell me why?)

Lest you think I'm not really serious about the PMC, here's a link that shows every message I've posted that mentions the PMC.
