Feb 6, 2023
It's month 19 since I started this project, but if you consider indexing issues for half of the time, it's really like I'm on month 8. Progress is not bad if that's the case. This site took forever to take off but things are looking really good now.

So this is month 19 of my mega case study site
0:03
So we're getting really close to the 24 month mark, which will be two years of having this website
0:09
And I'm not sure if I want to keep doing this case study every month once we reach that point
0:14
or if I want to switch to maybe every few months, maybe once or twice a year
0:19
It's just been a long time with this case study, and the site is just growing so slowly
0:23
I don't know if these updates are boring you guys or if you still are enjoying them
0:27
So let me know in the comments down below if you want me to keep going every month. after we reach 24 months or if you think it'd be better to just stop doing these
0:35
updates so regularly but it will be cool to see month 24 and see where I'm at
0:40
the income school guys say that after 24 months you should be making a full-time
0:45
income according to their plan but I think this site is far from it a lot of
0:51
people have been commenting on my comments saying why is your site not doing so
0:55
great after 24 months and you know that a year or so ago, people were having a lot of indexing issues. And I think people still are having
1:04
indexing issues. And this site definitely had that problem as well. So it took a while. If you go
1:11
back and watch my videos, I have a whole playlist. You'll see that I was having issues the whole
1:15
time. And at first, it was a Pinterest issue. I was copying a few sentences from my paragraph
1:23
posting on my Pinterest and posting a picture for every single article, I was doing that. And what I think
1:28
happened was Google thought it was duplicate content because I was copying, pasting my
1:34
intro paragraph basically. So what was happening was my Pinterest pins were ranking above my
1:40
articles. My articles weren't ranking at all, but my Pinterest pins were ranking. But nobody was
1:45
really clicking on the link to my website. So my website was getting no traffic at all. I deleted my
1:50
Pinterest and over time my articles actually started to rank a little bit better. But it wasn't
1:56
until I deleted all the articles, about half of the articles I had, were not indexing
2:03
even after deleting Pinterest. Once I drafted all those articles, all of a sudden, my website started to pick up and bring in traffic
2:12
So as the ball started rolling, I was getting traffic over time
2:15
My articles were all indexed. Then I slowly reposted all those articles that I had drafted, like three or four a week
2:24
over time until all of them were posted back. point I had like 50 articles and about 20 or so were drafted. So over time I was reposting them
2:33
and they started to rank and bring in traffic. So this all happened over a few months. If you
2:41
consider that my website was an index for so long, even though it's month 19 right now, it's probably
2:47
really only like month four to six based on that. And recently my, this website has been going
2:56
more that way like a hockey stick so who knows maybe in 24 months i making a lot of money with this website or maybe it peaks and just stays the same
3:10
But we'll just have to wait and see. I am slowly taking my writers off all my websites, this one included
3:17
So my writer will still be writing until they finish the list of keywords, and then they'll be moving over to this other website that I bought a while ago
3:25
That one shows a lot of good signs, so I want to focus heavily on that one. So over time, I'm going to bring all my writers to that website
3:32
Those are my plans with this website. Well, let me know what you think down in the comments below. But let's just go over everything that I did this month and where I'm at
3:40
Total, we have 127 on the website. There's about 15 that are still in drafts
3:45
I've been falling behind a bit. I've just been busy the last few months
3:49
I recently got married. I went on a camping trip. I've just been doing a lot of stuff
3:55
So hopefully the next two weekends, I don't have any. going on that I know of so hopefully I can catch up on all the work that I have to do
4:03
So last month I spent $569.38. Total total I've spent $4,262.64
4:12
The total amount we've earned for the whole 19 months is $250.18
4:18
So my net loss for the site total is negative $4,019.46. Based on how much the site earned last month, if you multiply that by a 35,000,000, $0.35
4:28
times multiple then the value of the site is two thousand one hundred and seventy one
4:34
dollars and four cents all things considered I'm still down by about two
4:39
thousand on this site but like I said the income and traffic has been growing
4:42
not sure how long it'll take to be profitable but I think there's a high chance that this site will be at least a little bit successful which is good
4:51
because at the beginning of this case study I thought that this site was a complete dud and wasn't going to go anywhere so now we'll just look at the
4:57
ytics you know last month there was a May core algorithm update it's hard to tell if
5:03
this site was really affected too much by it but it did go up 17.51 percent I'm just
5:09
not sure if that's because of the core update or if it's just because this site is
5:14
has just been growing for a few months now so it could just be just growing on its own
5:20
or could have got a little boost from the update I'm not sure so this is my
5:24
Google search console over the last 16 months with website and like I said you can see that the site took forever I mean this isn't even the
5:34
end of the set this is only 16 months so there was three months before this time and still you just
5:39
see like pretty much nothing I was just having such indexing issues all the way up till around
5:45
August it started to slowly get something so if we consider that August the end of August so
5:52
basically September to May so September October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May
6:01
So to me really this site is only eight months old not 19 because you can see it wasn indexing There was nothing happening for all this time So for me really the site only eight months old
6:17
And if you consider how well it's doing right now, if you cut all of this off and just started
6:22
from like right here, this looks like good growth. To me anyways, go back to eight months
6:27
I guess you can't do eight. I do, yeah, if you started like somewhere around here, this looks like a healthy growing website
6:33
I know this is 19 months in the making, but just considering that fact, I think this site's showing good promise
6:40
So last month, we made the most we have done so far with this website
6:46
For affiliate commissions, we made a total of 285. AdSense, we made 1885
6:52
And on Ezoic, you can see there was a huge spike right here of, looks like, mediation
6:58
I'm not sure. I know this was right where the update happened. around Tuesday or Wednesday of May, I believe
7:05
I think that's where the update happened, if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, I'm not sure what caused that
7:12
Just all of a sudden a huge spike in mediation, but then it went straight back to normal
7:16
So I don't know what was going on there. I don't remember if that was the update. I know it was on a Wednesday
7:21
but I can't remember which one it was. But yeah, huge spike right there just randomly
7:27
and then it went back to normal. We go to the monthly. Come down here
7:31
in May, we made 20 from Ezoic ad partners, 1337 from mediation, 580 from the premium
7:39
So we made a total of $39.34, which actually isn't too bad
7:44
I'm pretty sure that's the best month we've had so far. So now just looking at the spreadsheet to see the final numbers
7:49
You'll see our organic sessions was 2,678, so our best month so far of the year
7:55
Our total sessions, 2,852, again, best month of the year. affiliate earnings double what they were in March the April we didn't get anything so again
8:05
affiliate income is also growing I don't have a whole lot of affiliate content on here so just a little
8:10
bit of extra money is fine with me this is mostly informational website AdSense we made a total
8:16
of 1985 which I just put AdSense on my websites because Ezoic did something with their MCM to get
8:27
things working and now if you have adsense and Ezoic both on your website
8:31
You can turn on mediation inside Ezoic and you will earn mediation income
8:38
So you'll earn mediation income and you'll earn AdSense income on top of your regular
8:44
Ezoic income. So it's just more money. As you can see, doing that made me about $40 or $20 more this month
8:53
I know my traffic went up slightly, but that little bit of traffic would not have increased
8:57
my income by $20. It was because I added ad cents and mediation that this income went up
9:03
So I'd highly recommend, and last month we got more premium because I was on an upgraded plan
9:08
So we made less money from the premium but we still made more money because of mediation So I highly recommend setting that up I know I should make a video on this I just too busy doing it but just
9:20
know set up mediation and if you're only using AdSense right now I highly
9:26
recommend signing up for a Zoic there's no requirement anybody can do it no
9:32
matter what your traffic level is on your website so I'll leave a link down the
9:36
description box below where you can sign up using my affiliate link
9:40
It doesn't hurt you in any way. It just shows that you signed up with me
9:43
and I'll earn a small commission for using that link. So I really appreciate it
9:49
It really supports my channel. This channel is not monetized. I'm not making money making these videos
9:54
So, I mean, I do make money from affiliate commissions and other ways with this channel
9:59
but I'm not making ad income right now. So just any way that you want to help, it just really helps
10:06
So if you aren't going to sign up for Ezoak anyways, if you want to use my link
10:09
I would really appreciate it. So last month, we spent the most that we have so far in articles
10:14
So we spent 503 and 22. Editor also helped edit those articles
10:19
That was 52 bucks. And other expenses, I re-registered the domain. So there's 14
10:25
So our total expenses was $569.38. So the net loss of this month was 507.34
10:33
So the total was $1,498.91. That's everything that we're down for this year
10:39
So over time, these expenses will go down as I transition my writer
10:44
It might take a few months, maybe by the end of the year, my writer will be moved over to the other website
10:49
And then next year, all these numbers should be green and slowly make my money back that I've spent on the website so far
10:57
Let me know what you think about this website. Do you agree with my assessment that this website really is only at month 8, not month 19
11:04
and do you think it's a good idea to just stop posting content for a little while and see what happens
11:10
or should I just go crazy with content? I just got so many websites to work on and I just can't focus on all of them with everything else that I have going on
11:19
So that's why I want to move all my writers to one site. I just feel like it would be a lot easier to focus
11:26
Let me know in the comments below. Again, I have links, affiliate links down below
11:30
And if you haven't seen yet, if you need keywords, I have a five
11:34
service here we can get low competition keywords you can get five for 15 14 for 40 or
11:39
25 for 70 so far everybody likes the service I have a five star and fix on YouTube
11:46
also made a video I'll post that in the comments below or the description box below
11:50
somewhere down there he tried four different fiber gigs doing similar service like
11:55
this and compared them all so you can see what he thinks about my service as well as
11:59
some other people and maybe that'll help decide if you need keywords who to go for
12:04
So his video was really good and I'll just go ahead and put it right here in the cards
12:08
So you can check out that video next. Yeah, it was a really cool video
12:12
I enjoyed watching it. He doesn't post that many videos often, but when he does, they're a really good video
12:16
So you should definitely subscribe to him. Anyways, thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video
