Before paying for a guest post, check more than DA or DR. A big number does not tell you who reads the site or what you will get for your money.
Here is a simple checklist you can use.
1. Check the topic and readers
Does the site cover your topic? Does it reach people in your target country? A...
Use the reason the URL exists to choose the fix. A useful page that shouldn't appear in search can stay accessible with noindex; a genuine duplicate can point to the equivalent preferred page with a canonical. If there's no replacement and the page is gone, return 404/410; redirect only when...
Build a small landing-page table: sessions, valid enquiries, qualified leads and closed sales. Count successful enquiries rather than just clicks on the submit button, and remove spam/test leads. Then compare qualified leads per 100 sessions using the same traffic source and date range. Also...

Seasonality matters too. Advertiser bids can rise around holidays, so earnings may change even with similar views and uploads. Compare actual RPM alongside monthly views, and separate Shorts from long-form when sharing figures.
Check for orphan pages before rewriting articles. Compare your sitemap with an internal crawl to find important pages lacking internal links. Add contextual links from related articles, then monitor those pages before changing their content.
