[Journey] Next Authority Site to $50k/month with Ads

When you say guest post you talking about free ones or paid

What is your on page look like

I think for word count you go 1000 to 2000

You use silos

How many headers?

I think you go for low search volume keywords. What is the max?

How many pictures?

Any other on page tricks

Just to be sure you are planning 50k for this site not combine
 
I have a few questions about your theme.

1. Do you use paid or free version of GeneratePress?
2. Do you use a builder on top of it like Elementor? Do you recommend any builder?
3. Any custom coding on top of it, or out-of-box GeneratePress is good enough for your goals?
 
Good luck with this journey. I will be following this thread
 
Mechy

On average, how much time do you spend on adding one post?
Do you fill meta descriptions for every post or are they generated automatically?
Do you use any methods to uniqueize the pictures?

Thank you!
 
Thanks for this thread and the previous one. I have a site right now that I have been adding a ton of informational articles. I believe I am around 112 articles at the moment. I am going to keep adding content to my site and basically follow the same type of plan.

Hello EntertheDeals, just wondering, how much are you earning from the 112 articles? and are you monetizing through Adsense or Amazon?
 
The reason this is such a good Journey is because most people can create a site from scratch and rank it for informational keywords. My site is just doing ok. I started it when I was new and inexperienced. All my articles were best of articles and it is in a super competitive niche. My site wasn't really ranking or getting any traffic. I almost abandoned it and walked away from the site. As I learned more, I started adding informational articles and doing keyword research for low competition. I just added 20 articles a little over a week ago of KGR informational articles. The other day I ordered 20 more low competition / KGR articles. I am also on a long term journey. If it takes 5 years of adding content to make good money in affiliate marketing that is what I will do. Or until I die, whichever comes first. :)

Word count is around 1000 words.
Both free and paid guest posts
I only use categories and link between only the same category, not real silo with url parameters etc
As much headers as possible without beeing unnatural
I go for all keywords
3-5 pictures per post
Use a table of content plugin to get cooler serp results, to get inner links under the result.
Yes planning 50k for just this site.

I have a few questions about your theme.

1. Do you use paid or free version of GeneratePress?

3. Any custom coding on top of it, or out-of-box GeneratePress is good enough for your goals?

Paid version. You can use free also I guess but a little bit limited.
I use Elementor for homepage and contact/about us pages
No custom coding. I have a very few functions on the website so :)

Usually a pure 1000 word article takes 10 minutes to add if its written good and just to copy paste it to wordpress. Add headings, images, Title, Meta description and then publish.
I mostly fill them out, but sometimes I leave them blank and let google decide, depends on the topic. Tried without meta description on a few posts on my other site and they are ranking good :)
No method, just publishing the images from shutterstock. Only changing the name of them :)

You have a great vision and you will make it, just keep pushing, GL :)
 
Thanks for that. A lot of people want the quick money but need to focus on patience. For 2020, patience and content are my goals. What hosting are you using BTW? Thanks again!
 
I would advise you to ramp up the link building a little bit. Google's "don't build links, just build good content" advice is a straight and blatant lie to your face. I recently did a test with a website that had more than 10.000 unique articles, but no backlinks. And the stuff is of real quality. It doesn't matter where I got it from. However I want to emphasize that it was real quality and human written content. I left it sitting for more than 6 months. The site did not even get indexed fully and had been receiving little traffic.

So know that you depend on google, but don't listen to their PR BS. Stay safe and be smart, but build links. They are the single most important factor. Quality content goes hand in hand with links, but without links no one will ever find it.
 
Results so far:
The results are like nothing now. I was pretty slow publishing articles in the beginning but now i publish them at a rate of around 50 per week or more. I think this will grow fast as soon as its out of the sandbox.

which website you are using for these metrics?
 
@Mechy I have a question regarding your selection for keywords. When doing keyword research, do you only go after keywords with high CPC or with high search volume? Or maybe both?

This isn't true for everyone. I am growing 30 % MoM without building any links at all - and the author of this thread did his whole first project (to 10k USD/month) without building any links.

Here is a quote from the FIRST post of the authors previous thread:

Create a Press-Release for both of the sites in about 1-2 weeks for diversity links

Based on the above... what you said is factually incorrect.

Sure, maybe you got lucky and google picked your site up somehow. And perhaps your site started receiving organic links.

There are always exceptions. You can lookup any true real world data statistics and the stats will tell you that you need links.
 
I saw you said you use Siteground cloud hosting. My bad... I use regular Siteground. Obviously it is handling your amount of traffic well??

If I remember correctly (I dont have time to check), he repeatedly stated that he was not "focusing on link building" nor "was any good with link building so you have to ask other about that". Now, I don't have time to take this discussion further apart from just concluding that we disagree.

I btw totally agree that link building can be a very smart and efficient way of getting more organic traffic. However, my website grows 30 % month-over-month in organic traffic and I didn't build any links for it. The links are, as you also suggests, coming organically.
