We're still filling the rolling window with the recent wins. Mostly riding the wave & waiting for the season to turn - seasonality should start kicking in in the 2nd half of September, so I hope to see some movement then. My core terms have climbed from position 8 -> 3 or so, but not conclusive...

Not much movement honestly, just "reaping the results" for now, while we're finishing design stuff. Now don't get me wrong, there are still tails to target, queries to optimize, positions to gain, but I've been busy with other stuff. Overall, I managed to revert the decline, and my changes...

Numbers go up, me happy: Now for the full update: I've already sunk more time and effort into this than I initially expected, but as they say, opportunity is a cost only if you have opportunities. And the market has been mostly dead for my main job. Got a small retainer for an eshop + some...

Thank you for the encouragement. Sadly, AIO ate a chunk of my high-intent traffic, the replacement is lower intent one - currently attempting to bridge it & greedily take whatever I can traffic wise. Sadly, not too many conversions even though the numbers go up. But then, it is still peak...

Finally got the hang of it, apparently, the domain has more oomph than I originally expected. See the extension of the uptick at the end? Last time I was at 58 clicks/week and I called that good: And still climbing. Now to be honest, I still didn't manage to fully replace intent traffic so...

Hmmm. DataForSEO is the new kid in the block - any references for this one please? I'm using it because it has reasonable price point and a good api, but I'd like to hear comparison from someone in the know since I'm fairly new to the game.

Instrument everything. Measure, measure, measure. If you don't know what is happening on your site, you're half blind.

It's been a while since my last report. So after the last round of mishaps, I might be actually getting hang of it. Not enough to feel "yess I made it" but enough to start feeling mildly optimistic: See that little spike at the end? That is this: So CTR started climbing. Some of my pages...

Ok. So Google snubbed me twice more - which is honestly annoying. Altogether cost me a ~month of net profit, once due to another PPC collapse that I waltzed into, second time by auto-flagging my account and denying promised credits - I maintain that I didn't do anything wrong, but noone...

So far the revenue is holding for the most part, although the organics took a hit. Last week was quite bad - slipped on the organics from 11 to 12.4 average ranking, which sounds concerning. My attempt to revitalize via an useful tool is in progress - although two of the potential partners I...

So apparently, for a tiny SaaS, the new smart way of calculating price per bid in google ads leads to a doom spiral. Or it always led there, I'm unsure - I'm a lot of things, but not a marketing expert. What happens: - low conversions - this leads to lower bid - this leads to trash traffic...

Just a small update so that I don't forget since it's been a while. Sales so far not great, not terrible. Enough to cover server costs and have some beer money, not enough to be completely happy given the price point. My google ads setup has a hole that I didn't manage to fix yet since for now...

Hello everyone, I'm starting a thread to keep myself accountable. Hopefully it will become one of the longer ones, so let's get started. Long story short, AI came and ate my lunch - made my current work insufferable. I probably could've stuck around for a bit more, but I decided to call it...

I know next to nothing about coffee - just some bits and pieces I recall from one time I tried my hand at working as a coffee shop server. Those were dark times. Apparently my talents lie where there are as little people to interact with as possible. Also working the cashier is surprisingly hard...

Read this article a while ago and today by some chance it got bumped as someone commented so I re-read it. Thanks for this little gem, it actually reminded me of my original end game. ~Half of a year ago I've invested some money - actually a bit more then I originally intended since I got bit...
