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

    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

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

    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.

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

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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!

    I could, and probably will, but I'd still need google's approval: Site must be approved by major ad providers.

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

    Thank you! Great question, i'm obsessed with adsense because with every ad network you'll still need google's approval, since they basically have the monopoly of the ads industry. i can't really apply to monumetric since my content is in italian, and they require 50% US/CANADA/UK traffic. Even...

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

    I'm pretty sure the reason behind the rejections is the non-uniqueness of the articles, since they CANNOT be unique, as they are about history. I cannot make up new dates, you know. What I talk about has already been written million times on wikipedia and every history site basically. A few...

    Hey! Thank you for your interest in my journey. Quite some time has passed since the last update, and yes, there has been a growth in the last month.
