guest posts still work imo, but id push back a little on lumping haro in with the other stuff as if its on the same level. haro specifically got me a ******** link from a Forbes contributor piece last year after about 6 weeks of consistent pitching, maybe 3-4 pitches a week and that single link...

ran into this exact wall like 8 months ago, grabbed a batch of protonmail-registered accounts from a seller claiming "no 2fa, no selfie checks" and literally the first login on 3 out of 5 of them triggered an ID upload request before i could even get to the profile, lost like $60 bucks and the...

I run google ads for local service businesses (plumbers, HVAC, that kind of thing) and a few weeks ago I finally switched most campaigns to automated bidding. CPA dropped like $800-1200 on the bigger accounts but the smaller ones with less conversion data are still doing better on manual. anyone...

running shopping and search campaigns for a supplement brand and just did a deep search terms audit over the past year. found about $500/day of spend going to completely irrelevant queries like recipe blogs and wiki pages. I try to do this weekly but honestly it slips to monthly. whats your...

I promote insurance comparison offers (US market, mostly auto and home) and over the past year I tested 5 different traffic sources. only native ads on one specific network ended up profitable at around 30% ROI, everything else was breakeven or worse. facebook was the worst honestly, the lead...

honestly you dont need google to "create" anything for you, you can just claim an existing unclaimed listing yourself through the google business profile dashboard without waiting on them to do anything. i did this for a client's local shop last year, found the unclaimed listing in like 10...

the custom updater part is actually where most people trip up, not where you source the plugins. i ran a small GPL bundle site back in 2022 and got maybe 340 customers before i shut it down, the updater was never the problem, keeping the licenses clean and not getting DMCA'd by Envato was the...

vpn offers are solid for that traffic type but the geo split you mentioned really matters here, like US converts way different than tier 2 europe on most vpn networks i tried running similar download-intent traffic through maxbounty last year and the us payout was almost 3x what i got from the...

tried pushing my cheap traffic method toward affiliate offers instead of my own ecom once, cpa network banned my account inside 3 days because the traffic patterns looked too clean and too fast, they thought it was bot traffic even though it wasn't. lost like $340 in pending commissions i never...

whitespark is solid but i got burned relying on it exclusively for a multi-location client a few years back, ended up with like 40+ duplicate listings across yelp and foursquare that the tool just didn't catch or flag. had to manually go in and suppress them which ate up probably 6-8 hours i...

$1.1k/month from amazon associates is actually solid, my first site in the home goods niche took like 14 months to crack $800 consistent and i kept second-guessing the content angle the whole time. the writer background you have is genuinely an edge, my early stuff read like garbage and my...

the overflow redirect is solid but the part people sleep on is what that conversion rate dip actually signals before it tanks hard enough to trigger the switch. i ran a similiar setup last year on a weight loss offer and my tracker caught the dip at like 11% CR drop but by then the network had...

keyword research honestly feels like it has a thousand "perfect" ways and none of them agree with each other, i ran a test site last year targeting a handful of low competition keywords under 500 monthly searches and got to page 1 in about 6 weeks which surprised me. but op you mentioned wanting...

damn thats a rough one, having 1k casino articles auto-posted on your site without knowing is wild. curious though, which plugins did you end up removing? wondering if it was a nulled plugin or something with a backdoor baked in
