This past week was a pretty good week for us at Twenties Money Mag. We saw a large increase in traffic coming from Broke College Grad and MSN. Our increase is nothing really to brag about but I’m pretty excited considering our traffic numbers are still really low. In terms of profit, well we aren’t even close. It wasn’t until yesterday that we actually made anything and it was just a dollar from a single adsense click. Kristin and I have determined we will continue on, profit or not. I am setting goals for traffic ratings by years end, and next year I will set more.
Without further ado here are the top links that caught my eye this week:

Hi Eric! Thanks so much for the mention and congrats on your traffic bump. Building a site and readership takes lots and lots of time so keep up the good work.
Congrats on the traffic increase and thanks for the link. I’ll second what Squawkfox wrote and add that as your readership increases, your profits will follow. Keep it up.
It all starts one visitor and one reader at a time. From there, as long as you continue to produce quality content, the traffic will grow. And so will the earnings! Thanks for the mention.
