Does your player handle large M3U playlists without slowing down? Some playlists have thousands of channels, so loading time and switching between channels could be worth testing before adding more features.

For the site with 600 articles, you could check Search Console during those 60 days instead of waiting until the end. Even if rankings are low, impressions might show whether some pages are starting to get picked up by Google.

That phone call about the battery system caught my attention. The visitor thought you were selling the product yourself. Maybe the listing pages need to make it clearer who the actual seller is. Otherwise, you might keep getting inquiries meant for the people posting the ads.

You mentioned earlier that smaller channels needed around 5K initial views to rank in your niche. Since you're now using an older channel, are you seeing rankings with fewer views, or does it still take about the same amount?

Since you're already working on supporting articles, you could also check the pages ranking above your calculator. See what features they offer and whether your tool answers the same search needs. That might help you find what's missing before spending time on backlinks.

Check the money side before choosing the niche too. Some destinations can get traffic but have weak hotel, tour, insurance, or affiliate demand. A travel blog can get visitors and still be hard to monetize.

What do you mean by “premium” here? More traffic, stronger backlinks, more brand searches, or more mentions from other sites? Forbes is a huge benchmark. It might be easier to pick a few clear goals first and build around those.

The part about 7 pages making most of the revenue stood out to me. Are those pages all in the same niche or using the same affiliate program? If they are, that seems like the main risk before putting more time into blogging.

I’d start with one language, basic data structures, Git, APIs, and a small project as early as possible. AI can help with syntax, but beginners still need to understand why something breaks and how the parts connect. Otherwise it’s easy to generate code you can’t maintain.

Are you planning to use the Similarweb traffic as a hard filter, or just as one signal alongside DR, domain age, and the ad network? If the traffic estimate is off by a lot, it could make some niches look much better or worse than they really are.

One thing to keep in mind with kids content is that comments, notifications and end screens are restricted. So don’t judge growth only by subscriber count. Watch retention and returning viewers too.

Use a separate UTM tag for each Quora answer that includes a link. Then you can see which questions actually send visits and which ones are just getting views.

The page matters as much as the domain. A link from a strong site can still be weak if the page itself has no traffic, no internal links and is buried deep in the site.

You can rank without buying links, but that doesn’t mean links won’t matter. A new site can still pick up natural links from useful content, data or PR. It gets much harder once you go after competitive keywords.

A simple stopping point is when new keywords stop changing the page outline. If they are just variations of topics you already plan to cover, start writing and add anything useful later.
