Another month and now fully 12 from the HCU that decimated the niche site world, while i’ve had some ups I still find myself basically treading water which is disheartening. To me I see why many will quit and delete everything, but what if you would have recovered the next month or three from there?
To me there is no win in deleting everything and giving up, I can tell you on the other sites I have started changing to a membership/locked content approach to hopefully build a “patreon” style MRR by providing unique content that will not be available for Google and other AI programs to steal and give away.
I don’t think that fits well with this site but I may look to see if I can find some $4.95 to $9.95 ebooks to offer and try to see if I can supplement income from visitors that way.
Content Production For NSP1 In July 2024
This month I didn’t add any written content but there was three Flickify videos from Ezoic that were added to the bevy of available content to hopefully pull in more visitors from search related video, video ads, and maybe get a smidge of that sweet Google search traffic back, so far its been DOA.
Income For NSP1 In July 2024
This months results were lower from last month but ads brought in $54.40 and affiliate brought in $6.06 for a grand total of $60.46 for the month. This is such a low point but at least it pays for the hosting, plugins, and needed tools to continue existence while others are failing all around me.
Analytics For NSP1 In July 2024
Overall traffic numbers are flat, Matt Diggity released a video talking about cutting out duplicate content with 0 views and I may attempt to streamline content on the site and see if it can help.
Google Search Console For NSP1 In July 2024
Search lost 50% more of the already paltry clicks from Google showing me Google still is a sad search engine.
Keyword Performance For NSP1 In July 2024
Ezoic NicheIQ Pagebooster Results For NSP1 In July 2024
Ezoics tools rank my content as mostly stable, which is sad as it should be increasing but this isn’t their tools fault more that Google has put in an artificial cap if you aren’t Reddit…
Amazon Performance For NSP1 In July 2024
Amazon let me down hard this month but in a site more organized towards summer this was to be expected and it will be this way plausibly until Spring.
Ezoic Performance For NSP1 In July 2024
Ads were a nice consisitent $54 which is probably the sole bright point as it shows if I can just get traffic to the site it can at least give me nearly $20 EPMV! I am working to figure that out, feels more and more like you have to have Facebook, Pinterest, or other hardcore social approach in this Post-HCU world.
