All of these third-party metrics can be manipulated easily. The only metric I really care about is traffic, as this indicates that the site is in Google's favor. Also, I'd look for the ratio of inbound and outbound links, the referring domains, and the total number of outbound links (to see...

My personal opinion: I wouldn't index them (maybe except for the FAQ page and probably the about us page, depending on what its purpose is). Therefore, you can set a "no index" tag. I think it is also more or less common sense not to index contact, terms, privacy and pages like that.

AdSense also seems to consider your site's age. For my sites, AdSense approval works best if the site is at least 5 months old. And I have more success if there are at least 100 posts on a site. You can still get approved with less, but the probability seems to be higher when you have a...

P.S. Let me know if you find anything. I would love to hear that I was wrong and that there are indeed free ways to use the API.

Not that I heard of. I think there are some offers on RapidAPI that offer a free tier (https://rapidapi.com/ayushsomanime/api/ahrefs-dr-rank-checker/pricing and https://rapidapi.com/Glavier/api/ahrefs1/playground/apiendpoint_b535d225-dfd9-4b62-b1fb-d72e7368aaaf are the ones I found, with 25 or...

Did you consider growing an email list and sending a weekly or monthly newsletter, offering some interesting news from your niche, together with links to your digital products (e.g., if a certain digital product fits in well with one of the news topics in your newsletter)? I'm not an Instagram...

As the internal links are also entirely gone (I guess you do have internal links), I, too, think it is a temporary Google issue. If you have other sites on the same account, I'd check whether the issue occurs there, too. And I'd just wait for some days to see if the links return.

I used Flikover just recently. I had a downtime issue once in 30 days, but they solved it quite quickly.

Yes, I have a bunch. But I will not give any details about the domains or the niches - I can just confirm that it still works. I wrote my own Python tool to create text and images and upload it to WordPress. I just need to start running it in the morning and then check in the afternoon if it has...

That's the usual message you get when someone from the Google Ads team randomly doesn't approve your site. I can't read or navigate your site, but I'd try it again in a month or two. I usually wait for 4 or 5 months after creating a site and until I have at least 100 posts on it before I apply...

Unfortunately not. I always keep the Usage page open in a tab and check it from time to time... But if you need to get it programmatically, I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to scrape it with Python and Selenium

Why did you just publish 10 posts when using programmatic SEO? For my pSEO sites, I published everything (> 10k posts) at once without any issues and successfully applied for AdSense later. Also, I wouldn't apply for AdSense with less than 100 posts, and I would wait for at least 3 months...

Well, I didn't check your site, but do you use internal linking? You can have 5-10 internal links per post to other posts, but make sure that the internal links are meaningful and have diversified anchor texts. I would probably also try to build some social profiles for the site (e.g...

If you google "site:lightmedia.com" (without the quotes), you can see that only the homepage is indexed. If you google "lightmedia.com" (again without the quotes), you can see that this seems to be quite a popular term with many websites or social media profiles with the term "lightmedia" in...

Of course, it is good enough to write, but sometimes, you get very stupid keywords that don't make sense at all in your niche's context. It probably doesn't make a difference if you have 10 weird posts in your 10k AI posts, but I prefer not to provide any clue that I am using AI by publishing...
