'Alo Kiki, how are you doing? I am still on BHW, regularly, every few months ;) I have no sites any more (from zero some 15-20 years ago to ~20 sites some 5-10 years ago to zero again) - I gave up completely from blogging (not even as a hobby) and I am fully back to sys admin world. Preparing...

you mean "priceless"? ;) well, like @zackh said, "been there, done that" - I worked 4+ years as freelancer/blogger, and it was great, but one must know when the end comes... and walk away...

Well, I like blogging - I write what I like to write about (with or without AI help), people come to my site (various traffic sources), read the text, see ads, follow my affiliate links, and I earn money - nice. However, my main source of traffic was Google and after HCU back in September 2023...

Hi Kiki, long time no see :) I am back in the office as Sys Admin (same company, same people, same tasks...) and I am into crypto now (more like a hobby, at least for now). I sold my last "working" site in December 2024 for a price that is less than a tenth of what I expected one day to get...

I have 12 words divided in three groups of 4-4-4 and have them saved on three locations (on paper/online): - first location: 1&2 octet, - second location:2&3 octet, - third location: 1&3 octet. This way, even if I lose access to one of these locations, I still have access to all 12 words....

Yes, we do talk to myself ;-)

I got a review copy of Stan's Reddit service. The post is in the form of an answer in the niche of my article, with a link placed naturally in the text. The answer is well-written and provides value for the readers. The author of the answer/article is almost 5 years old, with the post karma...

This ^^ Practically, SEO is not dead, it is far from being dead, just it has become (almost) pointless. For example, Ahrefs has a very interesting search filter - CPS (clicks per search). Many KWs that I was interested in a few years ago had CPS well above 1.5-2. And now? Almost none of them...

I got 3 free PBN links for an honest review. The links come from sites with the following stats: site1: DR16, 300+ RDs site2: DR16, 65+ RDs site3: DR9, 95+ RDs All sites are on different IPs, have different designs, different favicons, "normal" robots.txt files (no funny business, like...

I got a review copy in the form of two Quora links in exchange for an honest review. Both answers are in the form of well-written articles (probably AI+some human editing) that actually answer two different questions related to the topic of my article. One answer has my link in the form of a...
