You're welcome, I'm glad you're following the journey! Yeah I get what you mean, my first site was pretty easy to scale as well compared to this one. Things definitely feel a bit different now. Curious what you’re working on these days. Did you go more into the newsletter side of things or...

Yeah 100% agree. I’ve been keeping an eye on GSC and there are already a few queries with impressions but low CTR, so I’ll probably optimize those first before pushing more pages. Not sure if you haven't seen my latest updates but the website has far surpassed the 10k pageviews goal...

You should probably avoid sharing your website during this early crucial stage since people can just copy your stuff and rank above you.

I have around that number of pages yeah (I don't consider them articles since my website is more of a tool/utility site rather than a typical blog) Thank you so much!

Update #6 As expected, RPM has climbed to around $4, and the website generated approximately $40 in its first month with Mediavine Journey. While the earnings are still modest, it’s a solid and encouraging start that shows the monetization setup is working as intended. In terms of traffic...

Not really. They’re not against AI itself, they just don’t want low-quality, mass-generated content. If a site is just pumping out pages with no real value, that’s where people get rejected. In my case, the site isn’t really using AI in that “mass content” way anyway. It’s more about the...

Nice, good luck on the blog! I can’t disclose the niche yet, but it’s more of a tool/utility type site rather than a traditional blog. For getting approved, besides reaching the 1k users requirement, I think the biggest thing is making your site look and feel like a real brand (clean design...

Milestone Update Big milestone this week: the site got accepted into Mediavine Journey. Ads have only been live for about 2 days, so earnings are basically nothing right now (around $0.14 RPM). That’s totally expected though since Journey usually takes some time to optimize placements and...

Thank you, those are some kind words! I already got approved :) Yes, I agree! I shared the site in a few website selling groups and ended up getting multiple offers, then just went with the best one. At the time of the sale it was doing roughly 40–50k pageviews/month and making around...

Thank you so much! Thank you, I will! Appreciate that. Yeah the crawl budget point is valid. I expected uneven indexing with that many pages. I submitted the sitemap early and I’m relying heavily on internal linking between related pages so Google can naturally flow through the structure. As...

I’m not using PHP. The site is a React (JavaScript) app, with data coming from a Postgres database. For now, I’m only planning to run ads and see how it performs. Selling software or services doesn’t really make sense for this type of utility site. Thank you! Yeah I’ve heard it can take a...

Nothing fancy. I just wrote a normal post in a relevant subreddit explaining what the site does and why it might be useful. No spammy promo stuff, just contextual and aligned with the community.Interesting that you've got that much depth and still have more to go. It’s more of a tool/utility...

Thank you, I appreciate it! Yes, that's what I'm planning to do! Good luck on your journey as well, I can't wait to see how you progress.

Thank you!

Weekly Update #5 Things moved faster than expected this week. The site crossed 10k pageviews over the last 30 days, which honestly happened a lot quicker than I anticipated. Active users are close to 4k, and usage patterns are staying pretty consistent with how the site is meant to be used...
