Case Study Update – Month 29 Project “s²”

What the frick Google? Way to ring in the New Year…

I really wish I got into blogging when I was in College with copious amounts of free time. Ever since starting my first website in early 2019, it’s been one thing after another.

And now…well…

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 December, I had 9,970 pageviews for this website. It looks like things are continuing to go down with both traffic and revenue, as we’ll soon find out.

Let’s Talk Money

For December 2023, month 29 of this website, the Ezoic earnings were $67.08 (with a $6.73 EPMV)

Last month’s earnings were $94.13.

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…

In a few months into 2024 things might change up a bit, maybe this is just an error?

So, What’s the Plan?

I’m going to hold off, pause, and reassess for a bit. It’s the holidays, no point to dwell in the doom and gloom of Google.

If you’re a publisher as well, I hope things haven’t been too bad for you as we wrap up 2023.
