An attempt to cross to other side
August ended with minimum increase despite the posts’ deletion. Both GSC click and GA PV increased only by about 1000. Earnings increased by about $30.
I’m considering to add Amazon revenue into the table but it seems to be very dependent on 1-2 pages so maybe sometime in the future.
After getting first revenue on January, today is the time for first revenue withdrawal. The withdrawal comes from Ezoic ad revenue instead of Amazon affiliate commission though.
The conversion rate to my home currency is kind of suck, but being a Neteller user for years I already expect that. At least Payoneer doesn’t charge $12 withdrawal fee on top of the trash rate like Neteller.
Reached 9K clicks on Aug 12, 14 days after reaching 8K
Today I got an offer from Ezoic to activate their premium plan (pay $X per month in exchange bigger advertiser and a bunch of other added services). The Income School threads seem to agree that the increased performance from enabling this always able to pay the cost so I’ll try it.
Stats so far this month up until 13 Aug:
Premium will start from 16 Aug
In the effort of tighter topical cluster I unpublished more articles, especially on topic that I won’t add more down the line. With this it’ll be 60+ unpublished articles.
It’s a very expensive learning process.
29 July reached 8K clicks, 10 days after 7K
As I get more visitors from my new articles, the old ones stay dead. Categories & menu are very misleading since they’re not what the site actually about these days.
Based on what I learned about how google sees and determines your topical authority, it seems a bunch of unrelated-unranked articles dilute that topical authority. In order to make it clear, tough decision need to be taken: rearrange categories & delete those unrelated-non performed posts.
After consulting a bit in IS forum, I finally did it today:
All said and done, now all I can do is sit and see if this will make anything
19 July reached 7K clicks in 28 days, 13 days after reaching 5K
Reached 5K click on 6 July, 8 days after 4k
Reached 4K 8 days after 3.5K
The current EPMV according to Ezoic is $18.7 (dropped from last time)
