My Keyword Strategy

I use KGR keywords and Low KWs from Ahref.

Sorry, I am new to this... what is KGR?

Yeah yeah!! Thank you

Sorry, I am new to this... what is KGR?

Some keywords strategy that seems to work for some. Just type into Google to see more on it. Then check BHW for more stories and results with it.

New Update: Week 9 for BHW - Week 16 for me

Well well well, my Niche is at its best prior to Christmas day, so there's been a serious drop. Again, I also noticed my Position on GSC dropped, so I feel the second phase of the Dec 3rd update got me. Well, whatever!!

I disabled my Google Analytics so I can focus on just writing without getting discouraged by my stats.

Another issue, after removing my Google Analytics plugin, my traffic for some days weren't tracked.

So, they won't be many pictures.

New Posts + Words



I added just two posts.

Google Search Console

Yeah!! This is where I fell doooooown!!

So this is it.. I'll be disabling my GA again and just keep posting!! I move.. God is the greatest!

New Update: Week ## for BHW - Week ## for me​

Well, been a while, I left the site for a while although it brought in some pennies - quite substantial in my country though.

Well, it's about that time, I've written a few posts and I'm back to posting aggressively, not like September last year though. I feel I'll see at least a 200% growth before the year runs out.

So, let's go...... BTW, I decided to update this journey after seeing a new comment from seo_alexa002

New Posts + Words​

I had 81 posts from the last time I updated this thread, now I have 95, and the majority of these newly added posts were done in the last 40 days... Pretty small though.

Updating BHW​

I have been pretty lazy updating this thread, I am sorry for those who were watching, and I'm sorry to myself.

What have I been up to?​

Nothing much, really; I went full-time content writing for most of last year for a specific guy, a job I lost year September. Getting another was and has been pretty difficult; I recalled I had an affiliate site somewhere.

My site is seriously a seasoned niche; it works best towards the end of the year, then after then, it suddenly tanks, this always discouraged me, and from the thread, you can see this affiliate site has been running for almost two years, since October or so, I've witnessed two "End of year" seasons.

Typically, when the site stops performing at the beginning of the following year, I get pretty lazy and unmotivated to write. So, between Jan - March, I pushed out like ten posts, that's very, very poor for a site which I can dish out two articles in the space of four hours.

With the severe financial crisis I was going through, nobody told me to run back to my dear affiliate site. While my niche is seasonal, I also see those earning when the season isn't in session.

Guess who became motivated? ME!

What's the latest?​

Well, for the most of April, I focused on adding more content to some old posts and optimizing it; I borrowed some ideas from an Onpage SEO tip here to reoptimize my articles.

Well, on the 25th of April, I started a posting spree; I ensured I dished out at least two articles a day and then tried as much as possible to update older posts.

So far, I've dished out at least 60 posts and updated many others, and yes, my heavily seasoned site did see some flicker.

Progress so far?​

Not to rub this on anyone's face, my site is 100%, yes, 100% affiliate, and I wasn't affected by the May update; I hope its stays this way cause Google can be funny.

So, this is where I currently am, and I pray for the grace to keep updating this thread, this time, I'm going to earn, and I'm going to work because;

1. I am broke asf.
2. I have no other option.
3. There's light at the end of the tunnel.
4. Others are making it; why can't I?

Progress in Images.​

-> Number of words and articles​

-> Amazon earnings since November last year till date (The spike in clicks was due to a broken link plugin checker)​

Nov - Dec 2021

Jan - June 2022​

-> GSC Since Nov - Today​

What's Next?​

Well, it is simple, I will keep writing.
I curate my articles on Saturdays and Sundays and write from Monday to Friday, and I'm taking this as a full-time job!! I'll try updating this thread every day, week, or month.

Also, I'm conditioning myself to believe that this is a new site, a new site I started on April 25th, 2022 (The day I decided to get serious), so, in my conditioned mind, My new website has just 60 posts!!

Thank you!
