A noobs journey to £10 ($16)

keep at it mate.
I have had a rough time of it in my journey but I'm not giving up just yet.
 
For this goal you should work with YT + PPD and you should get to your goal in 1 day.

Anyways, good luck!
 
I will follow you since, im about the same level as you :)
How many unique visitors do you get, daily?
Where do you get the main part of your traffic?
Mind to share your niche? - don't know if you have told so far
 
Everyone starts at the bottom and works their way up mate :) , look forward to hearing how you get on.
 
Be careful when it comes to backlinks. I built an article site a few years back writing all the articles myself. I'd add at least 1 a day and eventually had around 170 articles that were all over 700 words each. My site was taking off fast and I was somewhat careful about how I backlinked and wrote my own articles for sites like Ezinearticles for backlinks and also posted on forums and would put a link in my signature or post 1 link on each forum after I had made about 30 comments or so. It was a very tedious process and when Google Panda came along my site went from about 1200 visitors a day down to 80 visitors a day overnight. The past few years I've been trying to clean my site up thinking that would help (instead of having 3 ads per age i reduced it down to 1, added more pictures and made the pages less simple looking) and saw no progress. Only recently did I disavow the majority of my links and about 4 months later my traffic is finally starting to rise again and has tripled in visitors steadily over the past few months without me having to change much on my site. I'm certain that the backlinks actually hurt me even though I was careful not to make them spammy. Be careful with backlinks. Backlinks are important but we are living in the post-panda post-penguin age now so things have changed a bit although some people's advice regarding backlinks hasn't.

Unique visitors a day is steadily at about 8-10 for two of my sites now, the other two (which I haven't worked on yet) are on 1-2. Pretty much all of my traffic is from organic searches. And I'm not going to share my niche here, that just leaves the door wide open for someone who knows what they're doing to come in and make a better site than me ;)!

I'll take a look into YT + PPD, but if it involves making my own videos I'll probably leave it!

Thanks for the info, it's real good to know. I think i'm going to refrain from any excessive link building on my sites for the near future then, I'll focus on good uality content and a few, quality links from other authorities. Glad you got your site back on top again.
 
Hey, i seem to have gotten my first adsense-click so ever. However, im not sure if it was myself who clicked the ad accidently? Anyway to check the location of the ad-clicker? :)

I don't think the clicks get registered if you click the ad yourself.
To check the location go into your AdSense panel and click on "Performance reports", it will be on the navigation menu at the top. Then you should be able to see "Countries" down the sidebar on the left.


@OP - Good luck on your journey, I'll be following. Feel free to send me over a PM if you need help with anything :)
