    [Journey] Growing a Historical Blog from 100 Clicks to 10k Clicks a Month

    Hii! Thank you for the comment. Yeah, the guest score transfer works really well. I noticed that a good amount of players actually use the Google login to save their score, especially when they get a high streak, even tho i was kind of expecting more sign-ups, but it's fine i guess. The fear of...

    Ciao!!! Thank you! I used node.js and express as backend, I like to code myself so it was the easiest choice. I know that on mobile google's auto-ads are quite invasive, but they are too profitable to remove. They make about 53% of all the earnings! Tonight I worked on optimize existing ads, in...

    Hey man, thanks a lot for the tips! You are completely right about Adsense! I checked my stats deeper today and my page RPM for Google organic traffic is actually around 3.27 euros! For an italian education niche I think it's amazing, so I'm definitely staying with them. I just need to scale the...

    fresh domain! I registered it in may 2025! Then only started working on it in october! Anyway guys, since i put the adsense ads, i've made almost 9 euros. It's almost 1 euro daily (0.75-0.90 it depends). I'm very happy with the page rpm which is about 2.50

    yes, when I wrote it i meant it as two separate things: 1) I'm not using seo tools 2) I'm keeping it white hat

    No, I don't like automatic placement, and since i coded my own cms, i prefer to insert manually the ads where i think they can perform better! I use auto ads just for anchor and interstitial! I still don't have enough data to know exactly how much I can make, give me a few days and I'll be glad...

    Today, after less that a day since my request, I've been approved by Google AdSense. I've now spent the entire day creating and placing ads on the website! This afternoon I made 0.36 cents. I'll see how it goes the next days!

    Thank you! Most of my traffic is actually coming from new content, mainly quizzes and just a few articles. This is because they're the ones i actually rank for in the first positions.

    Hey guys, time for a quick update. The last few days have been quite a reality check. The Good News: We are monetized! I finally got approved through a Google MCM partner (as i told you a few days ago) and the ads are live. Traffic-wise, things are actually looking solid. I did a deep dive into...

    I've had plenty of time to realize that adsense rejection is very common! The custom cms could theoretically be an issue, but i'm pretty sure it really isn't: everything is optimized, with schema etc... I already have terms and conditions, privacy policy and cookie policy. Maybe I should try to...

    thank you very much! I'll keep writing and adding new content as quizzes and history mini-games (which go viral on reddit and bring me recurring traffic). I'm now stuck at DA 8 according to ahrefs, which is kind of annoying but it isn't something I care too much. What brings me joy is that...

    Yes! I'm not having problems with traffic, I'm trying to stay consistent and it keeps growing, the real deal is monetization, but I'm hopeful I'll sort this out!
