Associated Content: Mixed Results this Time Around

Like I do once every 30 days or so, this post is to show you my Associated Content stats for the last month. You can check out the last period from May 15 to June 15 at http://www.chrisblogging.com/associated-content-recent-results/.

I must warn you before moving on; I did not submit nearly as many articles this past month. The main reason for this was that I picked up three new blogging jobs that have turned into big money makers. And of course, I wanted to make sure that I devoted enough time to them so they would get off to a good start.

Here are the statistics from June 15 to July 14:

Articles submitted: 20
Article accepted for payment: 17
Waiting for acceptance: 1
Total acceptance rate: 85%
Total payment received: $93.61
Highest offer: $7
Lowest offer: $4.25
Average offer: $5.50

As you can see, the articles submitted category was not the only one that suffered this month. Whereas last month my acceptance rate was 100%, I had three articles denied for payment this last time around. This does not bother me too bad because the topics were quite general, and I probably should have known better than to write about them.

My highest offer was down by $1.50, and my lowest offer was up by $.25. But the thing I am a bit perplexed about is the average offer. It is down $.97 this month. There could be many reasons for this, but I figured that the average would begin to increase as I continued to submit. After all, this helps to raise my page views which will in turn affect my clout. The average offer statistic is the one that I will be keeping the closest eye on during the next month.

So there you have it! Another month’s worth of Associated Content stats. It will be interesting to see if the downward trend continues, or if I simply had an off month.
