I don't know who you folks are, but hits on this blog have gone from 100 when I wasn't paying attention to 1000 when I found out how to track traffic, and then when I posted my sister's warning NOT to answer that Amazon cancellation e-mail, it went to 3000 to 6000 hits a day, now stabilizing at about 4,000.

If you ever wondered if people who aren't youtube stars make any money, it's possible to make some money even if it's not a whole lot, though it's still very hard to make enough to be a day job. This blog earned about $1 a day on average at 1000 hits a day, peaked at $4.00 with 6000 hits, but it goes up and down. All I have to do to make this worth as much as my social security check will be worth is increase it 10 times to 10,000 hits per day. Of course, I've had a website since 1995, most popular page is a neglected McDonalds happy meals page and statistics on Asian Americans, and a youtube page that's up to 3 million views on various misc topics.

This is how adsense worked out when the hits jumped up:

By comparison, Asian Week used to pay me $25 a month to do a real column when it was a newspaper, at this rate it won't be long before I make that in one week on a blog.


This is the most popular video I ever put up, it's birds playing chicken with Killer Whales at Sea World evidently for fun and thrills. I have a couple dozen videos with over 10,000 hits.
