    [Journey] Scaling an Authority website to 10K a month (and beyond)

    Hi Kikerinka, Of course, I don't know how your niche works, but in my niche it's also the case that interest is significantly lower in December. However, I notice this above all in fewer visitors, whereas the CTR is actually high (so far in December even higher than in any other month of the...

    I wish you every success with your plans and keep my fingers crossed that there are positive effects. As nobody knows what works at the moment, it will be interesting to follow your progress here again. Many thanks in advance!

    This is great news. I'm very happy for you! And it's a wonderful coincidence that you met your dream woman here because of your successful Journey. Only the best for you and your future wife!

    [Journey] Scaling an Authority website to 10K a month (and beyond)

    Hi Kikerinka, For me, things are going so-so. My broad niche website (goal was an authority website of the same size as yours) was also destroyed by Google this year. Here is a chart of the last three months compared to the same period last year: As you can see, I'm down over 99%. I therefore...

    Hi Kikerinka, Great to see you're back. I hope you had a good time! Very disappointing how your traffic has developed over the past few months, but with the updates in that time I expected nothing else. Now I'm looking forward to your further updates and hope that there will be a lively...

    @Kikerinka @Janis99 These are interesting observations that coincide with my websites. As I have already written several times, my site monetized with ads has lost a lot of traffic, while the other one has remained stable. I can confirm the assumption that real businesses are favored by google...

    [Journey] Scaling an Authority website to 10K a month (and beyond)

    Hi Kikerinka, I wish you all the best for your break and think it's a good decision! I've just come back from a 2.5-week vacation and totally enjoyed not thinking about IM and my websites. During my vacation I also decided to change jobs. A company has been trying to hire me away for some time...

    [Journey] Scaling an Authority website to 10K a month (and beyond)

    Do you remember my screenshot a few days ago, which showed that my two most important keywords on my highest-traffic page held their positions, while all other keywords lost positions? On Sunday, my website took a second significant hit and these keywords were also affected. Although it only...

    [Journey] Scaling an Authority website to 10K a month (and beyond)

    I have a weekly ranking check running for my two money sites. My main site has lost a total of over 1,000 positions for around 100 keywords compared to the previous week... That means an average of over 10 positions per keyword. And yet I "only" lost around 25 % traffic. My second site has...

    [Journey] Scaling an Authority website to 10K a month (and beyond)

    For the first time ever, my large website is also losing traffic as a result of this update. Comparing Sunday and Monday with the previous week, I am currently about 25 % down. No AI content, only two purchased links in 6 years. I would even go one step further. For me, it's not just an impact...

    JOURNEY: Building a niche website (almost) from scratch to $1K/month and beyond, while everyone else is quitting the business.

    Congratulations on reaching your goal! Even though this journey was of course much smaller than your other Journeys, it shows once again your persistence and strong will to achieve your goals. This is another journey that will motivate others to take on challenges and follow them. Many thanks...

    Yes, I have them all set to nofollow. Since I use them on 95% of my pages and there are 6 to 9 (rarely even up to 12 on one page) links per page, I think that d0f0ll0w would be far too spammy. Good luck!

    Happy New Year and all the best for 2024, Kikerinka! May your wishes for your private life as well as for your online and offline projects come true! I like your idea of joining a brand new affiliate program and working to bring it to life. That's exactly what I did with my smaller website. And...

    JOURNEY: Building a niche website (almost) from scratch to $1K/month and beyond, while everyone else is quitting the business.

    Thank you very much, that is very interesting. If I convert my Ezoic EPMV to RPM I get approx. 7.30 USD RPM for Germany and 14.00 USD RPM for Switzerland. Unfortunately, I have less than 3% of my traffic from Switzerland and 90% from Germany. The comparison with your RPMV confirms my decision...

    That is very interesting. Since I would like to try to get accepted to Mediavine with my big website in a few months, I would be interested to know what RPM you get for Germany. Thank you!

    JOURNEY: Building a niche website (almost) from scratch to $1K/month and beyond, while everyone else is quitting the business.

    Thank you for asking. Everything is fine on my side, I don't notice any effects of the latest Google updates. However, my big site is also seasonal and the low season started in October. I am therefore expecting around 30-50% less revenue than in summer and am already looking forward to spring...

    Great that you are starting a new journey! Fortunately, this time I'm in from the beginning and not just starting after 5 months, where you first have to read for 6 or 7 hours to catch up :-) I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your project will be successful. Looking forward to reading your...

    No, after the cooperation was established I gave up on the other companies. Before that I tried intensively, by e-mail and also by phone. However, I could not find out any direct telephone numbers of the responsible contact persons and from the central telephone numbers I was only put through to...

    Thanks again for your kind and motivating words. Since I have mentioned little about my websites and progress so far, I would like to share some more details. In fact, I have not one, but two websites. One of them is a site in a huge niche where there is incredibly big competition. That's my...
