Another month and another case study update. Exciting…
I wish there was something to be excited about but not much happened. Considering the niche, September usually has a slight bump. But not this time. Google has other plans I suppose.
And of course, there’s a lot of fear and speculation of what’s to come with the Google update. I wish SEO had a bit more certainty to it.
Here’s the tl;dr on the site specs:
- Cloudways Vultr hosting from the start
- Ezoic ads from the start
- GeneratePress Theme (basic setup)
- Aged Domain
Analytics Traffic
In September, I had 15,764 pageviews for this website. It looks like things are starting to go down a bit. Not by much, though, so likely just losing some positions in the SERPs.
I don’t do a very good job of tracking that stuff…
Let’s Talk Money
For September 2023, month 26 of this website, the Ezoic earnings were $118.47 (with a $5.81 EPMV)
Last month’s earnings were $109.97.
Some of this is due to minimizing the amount of ads on the site and switching to a more user focused revenue goal. I doubt that has had a huge impact, however, and I may change it back soon.
So, What’s the Plan?
I’m going to keep playing around with some A.I. writing tools along with MidJourney. It’s been fun learning these tools and I feel it’s essential if I’m going to continue blogging into the future.
AI with SEO just feels like one of those things that you need to adopt or get left behind.
