I expected somewhat bigger ad revenue growth, switching from Adsense to Ezoic. But nice growth, anyway! I hope to see more updates.

Yeah the ad revenue almost 3xd after switching from Adsense to Ezoic. But now ad rates are at their lowest, that's the reason for the low earnings.

April 2023 Update

Hey guys, it's been a while since I updated this journey. I've been quite busy and didn't get much time to work on the site and update this thread. Here's how the site performed in April.
I'll post May update tomorrow.

Traffic:

• 19,468 pageviews

I found a couple of trending keywords for a particular event in the niche which made brought a couple of thousand pageviews and decent affiliate revenue. However, now the event is over and the article is no longer bringing traffic as you will see the traffic drop in the May update which I will post tomorrow.

Earnings

• Ezoic: $107.43
• Amazon: $65.63
• Affiliate: 240.67
• Total: $413.73

I switched from Ezoic to SHE Media in April because I heard good things about the platform. Unfortunately, I had to move back to Ezoic because SHE Media didn't support my payment methods.

However, I saw a significant increase in RPM compared to Ezoic plus they put fewer ads than Ezoic and the site looked cleaner and much better. Their setup was very easy too, you install their plugin and then log in that's all. Though after integration, they had to submit the site to Google for approval.

Milestones Reached

• 100 published articles
• $300/m
• 20k pageview: so close
