Case Study Update – Month 34 Project “s²”

I think I need to start looking for a job. Like a job job. Where you get paid for staring at a computer, no matter what. And they let you eat at certain times. Money from blogging aint happening anytime soon.

I’ve given up most hope. At this point, it seems to make more sense to get into something new, like YouTube or Influencer programs, then it does to try and revive my blog.

But there is still an area that’s viable. It’s local SEO, and I’ve been helping a friend out for his business. It’s low stakes, low pressure, and easy “to win”.

But it’s not passive…

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 May 2024, month 34, I had 4,193 pageviews for this website. There’s still a pulse, but it’s fading. Hopefully, I can still sell this domain one day, as it is a pretty decent aged domain.

Let’s Talk Money

For month 34 of this website, the Ezoic earnings were $30.71 (with a $7.32 EPMV)

Last month’s earnings were $42.68.

So, What’s the Plan?

Nothing right now. I can’t see myself putting in much energy for something that feels doomed. I’ll keep my on it from time to time, and maybe the SERPs will shuffle around a bit?

Unlikely…
