This is awesome. I'm definitely going to implement this strategy on one of my sites, just have to decide which one. I have 4 sites that are all somewhere in the bottom 3 tiers, it might be fun to start with the one at the very bottom and see what happens.

I think I’ve figured out the problem with my site. When I get content from my writers, I upload it as soon as I get it, with no formatting. I’ll check the headings and grammar, but that’s it. The idea is to let it age in the index (ironic) before I get around to formatting it. When I first...

I’m always happy to read another lab thread. It’s a great way to see how others overcome problems, and also see if there’s any strategies and processes I can implement into my business. I was debating whether or not to start my new lab as the method will be similar to my last couple of labs...

I think your target of $1000 per month is very realistic, especially as you are already generating sales. That’s validation that what you are doing is working, all you need to do is continue grinding out the content and more sales will follow. Content alone won’t make you money, so it’s good...

One of my new sites is like this. Over 100 pages in the crawled but not indexed category. I manually submitted them all and they started popping into the index, but now the majority of them are not indexed again. I’ve never had this problem on previous sites. How old are these sites? I’m...

It can take a while for links to show up in Search Console. If you go to the guest post URL and type cache: before the URL, it will show you when Google last crawled it, which means it should be in the index. To answer your question, yes, if the page is indexed but not showing in SC it will...

I've been looking for a cheaper writer for supporting/filler content. I ordered a sample and received it back the next day. I'm impressed with the quality of the writing and the research for the price, I've just ordered another batch. I'm not sure if I would use it for money content on my...

Are you using Chrome? YouTube and Google are linked so if you are logged into a different Google account in Chrome it will log you into that account on YouTube. On Chrome you can set up different profiles for different accounts/businesses. So if I'm working on one business and have to quickly...

This is a great guide for anyone just starting their journey in HTML and CSS. I consider myself to be above average in these skills as I’ve been tinkering with them for about 5 years now, and there’s still some information I can take away from it. The hierarchy aspect is interesting and...

I've been having issues with indexing and according to my SC it started around the start of April. As it's a new site I never noticed until the end of May. Most pages on the site didn't get indexed until I manually submitted them with the URL tool. There are still 59 excluded pages out of over...

I would take the ones with the most potential and keep building them. The rest I would sell. Even a site making $100-$200 per month could sell for $2k-$5k. Sell some of these and you will have funds to invest in building up the smaller sites plus your larger site. I don't know much about...

Whenever I build a new affiliate site I always make sure there are other affiliate programs for the products aside from Amazon. I start them off as Amazon sites and when they start getting traffic I swap out all the links for a different program, to see if there is any increase in revenue. There...

My definition of freedom has changed over the years. 5 years ago, freedom meant not having to leave the house at a specific time to go and work a 9-5 job. I have achieved that, and I'm very grateful, but my definition has changed. Now, freedom is being able to do whatever I want, whenever I...

Interesting how they slash commission rates for everyone and then bring back tiered commission levels. Looks like they are rewarding the highest-earning affiliates, which makes sense from their point of view. It's easier to manage a smaller number of high earners, rather than millions of low...

It's not surprising and I hope it is just temporary, but they could have timed the announcement better. They are really just responding to a changing market - everyone is indoors and buying online so they are basically saying to affiliates we don't need you at the moment. That is a really shitty...

I just received an email from Amazon Associates saying that they are slashing commission rates in some categories again. Full list: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/operating/compare There are some big reductions coming that will hugely impact a lot of people’s income. Furniture...

Impressive, sounds like you are seeing a lot of success and have a nice system in place. Are you still working a full-time job in addition to building the sites? How much work do you put into the initial content, are you editing and formatting them, or just posting them as they are? Are you...

I’ll chime in with what I’ve noticed from this update. I’m one of the lucky ones, organic traffic to my site has increased by >45% after this update. The increases started on the 8th November, and it is sitewide. Almost every page got an increase in ranking, some of them huge. There’s a page...

I have this same situation on my site. I have 3/4 pages that I will never be able to rank, they are ultra-competitive with the first 3 pages of SERPs all high authority sites. What I have decided to do with them is to keep the articles live, but optimise them for less competitive terms. I...

There are a number of forum threads popping up about people complaining that they are not getting credited for Amazon sales, or that they should be earning a lot more with the amount of traffic they have. Here are a couple of examples from the Engaged forum...
