Can I have test balance please? Username: JaySalinas

I would like to request some test balance, username: JaySalinas

That's an interesting observation and I'll add something interesting I noticed. Of all the sites in the niche of my main site (travel related), two have survived. One hasn't posted since December 2020 and another has only added about 150 articles since that period. The site that didn't post...

Thanks for the info! I noticed your RPM and mine have been pretty much about the same so I thought this would give some indication. My two other sites aren't nearly close to 30K Pageviews, only between 5-10K atm. I don't have the motivation to build them bc 50K sessions is too steep to climb...

Hi @Kikerinka How is your RPM doing these days? My Mediavine RPM is at an all-time low. Last month $20 and this month only $13 :( I have two other sites and the 30K PV limit at Adthive looks very appealing to make the switch, especially if RPM is about the same. Cheers

I think the Mediavine co-founder and CEO has a dual purpose for stating this, which is to have damage control if things really go south (like a 50% drop, 70% is just nonsense), and to pimp the Grow feature they launched (which is available for all sites). I also have some sites in Ezoic and the...

@Kikerinka Sucks to hear this but nothing will happen if you just ignore the email. People like this will never spend a dime unless they know there is money in the end, which of course, there isn't. Anyways, good luck with your future plans, I'm sure you will succeed!

I wanted to wait it out a bit but it looks like my main site is way up: This allowed me to apply for Mediavine so fingers crossed. :) I'm on Ezoic at the moment and it slows down my website a lot. I can't pass CWVs. I also didn't earn any significant backlinks in the previous months. All...

Hi @Kikerinka I also don't trust these tools but the general trend is usually correct. Your site is still doing great but I think what I expected to happen is coming true which is that passive income on this scale isn't possible in the long run. I think these days you constantly need to...

Hi @Kikerinka Can you give a small preview of the trend you notice after the war started? I noticed a downtrend on my sites as well so not sure if it's the latest Google update or it solely has to do with that unfolding drama. Cheers

Hi @Kikerinka ! Great stuff as usual. :) I tried optimizing my site a bit and removed all ads above the fold. I saw a steady 20-30% increase in visitors which I don't believe is a coincidence. Just wondering if you use that floating bar at the bottom of the page? This is an ad that still...

You said your US traffic is 42% from the US, right? I guess that's about the same as the site of @Kikerinka if I remember correctly. Don't mean the hijack this thread but just wonder as it might interest people following this journey and who want to join Adthrive or MV (like me): 1. How many...

First of all congratulations! $36 RPM for sessions is pretty amazing. I have a question I forgot to ask earlier regarding categories. You say you don't use them and I understand that they are not that important if people arrive at your site from search engines. What do you do, however, in...

Hi Shaun, I've been wondering about Ezoic Levels, why do they calculate it at $10 RPM? Level 4 for example is for between 250 and 500K visitors but they mention earnings are only $2,500 and $5,000. What's up with that? I assume the VIP Level would have higher RPM's but who will stay at Ezoic...

Great stuff! As it looks like you're averaging around 1,000 sessions per post per month. Just wonder if that's because you start ranking for seed keywords? To give a simple example, you initially target "What is a labrador?" but you eventually end up ranking for "labrador." I know you end up...
