Case Study Update – Month 30 Project “s²”

Good news for people who love bad news. Wait, what?

I’m doing fine, honestly. Everything is fine.

I’ve seen plenty of examples of genuine helpful content meeting their guidelines getting demolished. I was expecting AI search to make more of a dent into niche websites but Google seems to be doing it already.

Maybe an intern just pressed a wrong button and things will level out?

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 January 2024, month 30, I had 8,276 pageviews for this website. It looks like things are continuing to go down a bit, but at least it’s a little slower…that’s good right?

Let’s Talk Money

For month 30 of this website, the Ezoic earnings were $48.58 (with a $5.87 EPMV)

Last month’s earnings were $67.08.

Considering what I’ve seen on various forums and social media, I’m grateful my site hasn’t been completely crushed. It does give me doubt about the future of it…

However, you never really know…

So, What’s the Plan?

Nothing, absolutely nothing. I need to have a good, long, hard, drink about this.

Let’s see what Q1 in 2024 has in store for us…
