			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After having done this for <a href="http://christianriesen.com/2010/06/flattr-statistics-of-may-2010/">May 2010</a>, I thought it might be time again to look at the statistics.</p>
<p>In June I made a total of about 3 dollars, not being really active at all, yet still having 16 things and 51 clicks (worth per incoming click, about 6 cents). July was 4 things strong, with about 50 cents worth of revenue on 22 clicks (bit more than 2 cents per click). August saw 7 things, 56 clicks and 1.45 in revenue (2 and a half cents per click worth).<br />
<span id="more-214"></span><br />
Now why sum these up and make a September post at all?</p>
<p>5 things posted in September, 2 of which were forum &#8220;thanks&#8221; flattrs. One was the <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Flattr" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_Flattr?referer=');">Flattr MediaWiki extension</a> and one was the May post, I already linked above. These 4 things accumulated 5 clicks and 1.53 in revenue (a whooping 30 cents per click). But there is one thing missing, and that is <a href="http://reflattr.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/reflattr.com?referer=');">ReFlattr</a>. With only 16 clicks, it has managed to get a revenue of 14.52, or about 90 cents per click. Adding the whole month into one bundle, we get 21 clicks, 16.05 revenue and 76 cents worth per click.</p>
<p>This is a pretty huge jump, compared to the low click values of the months before this, even the ones that aren&#8217;t ReFlattr. But I haven&#8217;t talked about ReFlattr before.</p>
<p>The idea is simply to allow people to Flattr again without having to remember to Flattr again. The REST API of Flattr would generally allow that, except you can&#8217;t get the data needed yet. Doesn&#8217;t mean I can&#8217;t be programming it and be prepared for the moment when you can actually grab said data.</p>
<p>This also shows me that people really want to have this as a feature, so I will spend some more time on the code to make sure it is ready for when the data comes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the interest of some arguments and some transparency, here are my values for the month of May 2010 of what happened on my <a href="https://flattr.com/profile/christianriesen" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/flattr.com/profile/christianriesen?referer=');">Flattr account</a>. In total I had 24 of my things flattred, with a grand total of 66 clicks, so that means my average was 2.75 clicks per thing. 19 of these things were actually posts on the <a href="https://forum.flattr.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/forum.flattr.com/?referer=');">Flattr Forum</a>. I made a total of 11.34€ which then averages in at about 17 cents per click. The averages for single clicks on a per thing basis, were from the smallest at 0.02€ to the largest at 0.45€. In multiple cases, more clicks didn&#8217;t mean more income and I made more money with fewer clicks that were each higher valued. The biggest gap was one thing with 4 clicks, totaling at 0.52€ (0.13 average) and one with 2 clicks at 0.72€ (0.36 average).</p>
<p>Of course my sample size is rather small, Flattr is still in it&#8217;s early and humble beginnings and many options are still missing from Flattr. But for a first full month, this is a respectable kick off.</p>
