Travsite.com Financial Statement

5/18/2006

I thought that it would be fun to show what a pittance I make from the advertisements on this website. I'll use April 2006 as an example, one of my better months.

Keep in mind that I see an unusual amount of traffic for a personal site. This site has been around since 1999 and I constantly add new stuff, so I get an unusual amount of visitors from random Google searches. In the month of April, I had 8,960 visits and 94,250 pageviews. Here's how that works out in monthly earnings:

As you can see, Moby the Yorkie Poo is our top earner, bringing in $7.70 per month all by himself. Unfortunately, that is much less than his share of the family budget. He also suffered a major financial setback this month after several visits to the vet, caused by a wayward trip into a patch of foxtails. Needless to say, Moby is deep in debt and his credit line is wearing thin.

Off-Roading on the Mojave Road

We just got back from a 3-day off-road trip across the Mojave Desert on the historic Mojave Road. We had a blast, and nobody broke down. Click here for the story along with the pictures:

Santa Ana Immigration Rally

5/02/2006
I drove through downtown Santa Ana on May Day just to see what was going on with all of this immigration rally business.
I learned that an immigration rally has a lot in common with any other Santa Ana Car Cruise, except...
  1. Instead of a Laker flag, you wave a US flag.
  2. Participants honk their horn constantly, instead of just waiting for the chicas to walk by.
