Just as I expected the earnings for June went down, anyone know why RPMs are lower during the summer? Or is it just my female oriented niche? Traffic is steady but RPMs are about as bad as January... Here's the GSC for June And here's the analytics Unique visitors: 85k (-3k) Sessions: 126k...

How easy is it to file a DMCA? I've got a competitor that's stealing images and some content word for word, havn't found how to take him down but I guess that goes under DMCA? Will he disappear from the SERPs if I do that? Kind of scared someone will do this fake DMCA against me.

Dont they run Google Adx? Every time I've hooked up with mediavine or ezoic I get to create new Adx accounts. Are you not allowed if you have a banned AdSense account?

I am truly sorry for your loss BHW. A sad day indeed. I've not had much contact with Greg but in my eyes he was BHW, he was everywhere, sharing his opinions and throwing jokes all around him. Helping people becoming their better self. I hope we one day meet, rest easy king.

A bit late update but here we go. I'll keep it short this time. May was an amazing month, feels like we are finally getting somewhere. These are the GSC stats for the month: Massive growth from the month before, that my friends is a 24% increase in clicks, absolutely insane. We seem to be...

This has been the same for the past 20 years. Google changes constantly and niche site owners have always had to fight an uphill battle. There are niche sites that get 100% traffic from Pinterest, some get most of their traffic from Google discover as well. The best is to build a reputable brand...

My site got hit a few years back due to rapid translated pages, was seen as spam if my analysis is correct. What I've learned throughout the years is that click depth is a real thing, I try to never go deeper than 2 clicks from the homepage, properly interlinking all pages.

I'm amazed so many people are working on desktop. Didn't even think desktop was very common today except for die hard gamers. Why do you have a desktop setup for IM? Serious question, sounds expensive and over kill, unless you are a PC gamer or video editor.

A quick rant Ahhh.. This niche is so annoying to work with. Still steady rankings but I see most of the old "new" sites that started spamming the same way I did before I got penalized have now disappeared from the SERPs. Sometimes I wish I were in a steady niche, where I just had to fight the...

Looking more closely on PubNation I can see I have US RPM at $29, and some really low $0.8-$1.5 RPM from other countries. I don't think I can increase the US traffic, at least not by much. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

April Update Another month has passed. The site keeps growing, last month I mentioned the RPM seems to improve a lot but that was more a temporary thing. We did get a few days with RPMs of $17-18 but most of the month we were hovering around $11-$12, still an improvement. Lets get to the...

I just wanted to share the past 12 months with you guys real quick. 1 year ago I thought the website was completely dead and there would be no recovery.. The site had been pushed out of the SERPs for just about 5 months after the site was hit by the GCU back in December 2024. In May 2025 the...

I'd start with checking some youtube videos on how to setup self hosted WordPress and customizing a theme to your liking. Don't just click their links and buy whatever hosting service pay them the most, do your own research and stick with a cheap but reputable host for now. Also, don't pay for...

March Update Ok, so March did pretty well compared to previous months. Everything seems to be up except for the time on page. Something good seems to be happening right now, looking forward to the April update! Recently I found out I'm a bit more unwell than I previously thought. Had a...

Sorry missed to answer your message. I didn't really check the quality of the ads on Journey but I feel like it should be a bit higher quality on PubNation. RPMs are really going all over the place, gonna reach out to them again and see if they can do something else. But aren't ads today more...
