    Another large affiliate site acquisition...

    I know how much BestReviews was making, and it validates the sale price for sure.

    Rather not, it's not really a good use of time to try to educate someone who doesn't want to be :)

    Introductions Thread

    FYI - the Reddit post is really not too nuanced, there are quite a few inaccuracies in it as well.

    Keyword Golden Ratio = All In Title / Search Volume

    I don't think I do this. Most of what I do is pick a basket of keywords that is "led" by a captain (the one I'd prefer to rank for over all else). What I notice is that I rank for longtails immediately, those pull traffic and give signals for mid tails, and then eventually I get the 'head term'...

    Is adsense still worth putting on a site?

    Thanks, sir. I am testing AdThrive later this month to see if I can beat my current stack. I think a $10RPM will be attainable I have never followed AH, just used as a supplement. I'm friends w/ the guys who made it so always admire and appreciate their work.

    Selling My Site [Advice Thread]

    From the buyer's perspective, @Ryuzaki is correct. Dont' try to make it look better than it is, but see the entirety of the site's potential and sell them on that to get the highest multiple you can get.

    Anyone earning well from a legit YouTube channel?

    Just my 2c having a 25k+ subscriber channel and trying both strategies.

    Anyone earning well from a legit YouTube channel?

    I'd be careful about setting a quantity goal in a quantity of days. Videos follow power law, best ones do 100-200x more views than worst. I'd focus on making less videos, but way better.

    Anyone earning well from a legit YouTube channel?

    Yup, the sponsored content is the way my YouTube efforts will go from now on (while I work on my own products). @Prentzz

    Anyone earning well from a legit YouTube channel?

    I would never do YT to monetize solely off of ads unless I already had a nice income stream / job elsewhere, or 100% didn't give a fuck about how much I'd make and wanted to do it purely for the love of it. Just my 2c as someone who does earn a bit from YT.

    AdSense Native Ads

    Will be testing this: https://adsense.googleblog.com/2017/07/introducing-adsense-native-ads.html?__s=zjfb5ve2kbxjr36of8xc Excited and curious as to how it'll affect my in-article ad revenue. Also opportunity to add to in-feed, as I don't currently monetize that well.

    Is Creating A Content Site Still A Wise Idea These Days?

    I take a different line than most in this thread. The ad-based model for free content is fundamentally broken from an incentives perspective, and it's only a matter of time before the Internet will change as a result. In a big way. Think of the Internet's inception to now as V1 of monetization...

    Amazon OneLink

    Just set it up. I was signed up for both other programs, but hadn't bothered dealing with it because the expected monthly gain wasn't worth the time investment relative to other things. We'll see how it does. I'll use this over > * non-Amazon product though, just from a risk perspective.
