		<description><![CDATA[Earnings on this site ended 2006 strongly. After subtracting $24.95 in expenses (comprised of a $9.95 monthly hosting fee and $15 to renew the domain name another year), earnings totaled $265.81 in December. In 2006, my first year of blogging, I earned a total of $772.49. I began this site with 42 visitors in January [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[November was a record month for Experiments in Finance. Earnings (defined as revenues &#8211; expenses) was $188.19. This month&#8217;s blogging expense was only my $9.95 monthly hosting fee. Revenue came from the following sources: Adsense: $102.56 Linkworth: $54.61 BlogHerAds: $19.59 BlogAds: $21.43 The month-over-month doubling of earnings was driven by a 50% increase in traffic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier in October, I announced that I&#8217;d be donating all site earnings to the Grameen Foundation in celebration of Mr. Muhammed Yunus and the Grameen Bank&#8217;s 2006 Nobel Peace Prize award. First, thanks to everyone for making it a record earnings month for Experiments in Finance and contributing to this worthy cause. It was the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My little earnings experiment for this site continues. September earnings and traffic were down 10% and 25% respectively, largely due to my absense in blogging earlier this month. But, this was also the first month in which I had no days with 0 Adsense clicks, which means I&#8217;m getting a critical mass of traffic, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick (but tardy) site update for consistency&#8217;s sake: August&#8217;s earnings were slightly down overall due to my 3-week post hiatus, though not as much as I expected. (Perhaps I&#8217;ve finally reached a certain level of critical mass of useful posts.) Adsense earnings continue to grow, and I received my first Adsense check as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In July, Experiglot&#8217;s NPV grew to $89.93. Traffic has continued to grow, albeit a bit slower, in large part due to my guest writing stint over at All Things Financial and having my post on ETFs picked up by TheStreet.com. Revenue sources have finally diversified a bit: I got my first ad request from Linkworth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the end of the month and quarter, so time again for the close of books. Experiments in Finance&#8217;s NPV finally turned positive this month to $19.95. But as usual, the calculations ignore labor costs, so maybe it doesn&#8217;t have much meaning. Still, I&#8217;ll take small victories. My Alexa ranking also increased an order of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Experiglot&#8217;s NPV edged up a bit to -$20.96 thanks to finally netting positive from Adsense for the first time (and, ignoring labor costs as usual; including labor, NPV is almost -$4000). I&#8217;ve started incorporating other sources of revenue in the form of Shareasale, Linkworth, and Text Link Ads (all affiliated links). But until I build [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alright, I&#8217;m being a bit tongue-in-cheek and not really destroying value (yet), but the value of this site did decline in the last two weeks. Despite an increase in revenue, NPV declined by the amount I contributed to pfblogs.org&#8216;s worthy annual drive (which, GAAP be damned, ought to be a capitalized instead of expensed since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote when I started this site that it was going to be an experiment in many ways, and part of that was to see if it could become self-sustaining or better, even though I never held any high expectations. Well, you know how people are always asking about whether they can make money off [...]]]></description>
