Just a quick update on my Firefox + Yahoo! Marketting experiment.

When I first started using Yahoo! Marketting 10 days ago, I was only getting a few Mozilla Firefox conversions per day. Adding the revenue from those referrals up, we were looking at just a couple dollars per day– maybe more if I was having a good day.

Now, Yahoo! Marketting is sending about 100 visitors per day my way, at about a dime a visitor. Plus, some of my pages have started to get listed in the various search engines, leading to another 50 or so visitors per day from natural search placement. Total, about 150 page views per day.

With that traffic, I’m getting nearly 1000% more signups than when I first set up the website. Even with the Yahoo! Marketting costs, my figures show that I reap more from those visitors than it costs to get them to my site in the first place. So, although my $50 credit from Yahoo! Marketting is going to expire soon, I’m going to continue with the service.

Wanna start making some money through Firefox referrals on your own homepage? Click on the Google Adsense referral image on the top-right corner of the page. Not only will it take you to the Adsense sign-up page to get started, but you’ll also be helping me earn a few extra bucks through the referral to their service.
