We have often said that the real trick to building a successful blog or niche site is all in getting traffic. After that, monetization is easy. Well… not everyone finds it so easy. Let’s take a look at this site that we bought whose monetization has lots of room for improvement.
You can find out more about how monetization fits into our blogging plan in this video where we show you that plan step by step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8rDr3CnJSM

It’s so easy to get Monetization all wrong. But it’s not hard to do it right either. It’s just a matter of leaving what to look for.
What ‘a ha’ moment did you have looking at this case study?
Hi Ricky, When you write a new article to replace a low performer, do you remove the low performer or leave it? Thanks
Is there a video that includes the search analysis spreadsheet setup?
143$. That is a good point to start from.
Please make a video about why adsense not count the page view?
I have this problem.
My site get over 500+ page view but adsense show only 50-70 page view.
Please help me
Thanks for the feedback Ricky!
To be honest, I actually got this blog post written prior to joining Project24 and never got to tuning it up 😅
Where is your ex- partner? Does he have a new channel?
Is there ever a point on niche sites when the traffic that visits your site is willing to read other articles on your site? Like, is there a potential for articles not focused on search queries to have success simply due to the traffic you already have on your site?
These case studies are so insightful
Im using AAWP plugin, at the beginning of my best X for Y post I have a comparison chart of my top 3 picks and why. Do you think comparison charts are outdated? Also, do you think it is still a good think to have our top pick at the top of the page before we even talk about the product?
Gotta admit: I got work to do😆
great video. great suggestions for improvement to the original article.
It probably doesn't matter to most since it was never mentioned but the improved article is more focused. It packs more information in a shorter post. Less is more. Also with options. The more purchase options the longer its going to take me to potentially make a decision…if I don't get overwhelmed and quit. 1-2 options keep it simple. You probably have a better chance to convert me if you do.
Great video Ricky
Thank you for the video!
I have an unrelated question: Do you ever delete blog posts? I have a few blog posts which are back from when I started (2016, 2017) – some are reviews for services that no longer exist and unique products that no longer exist anywhere. These posts get between 1-3 pageviews a year and don't produce any clicks anywhere else. I feel like these posts "cheapen" my blog and I'm kind of itching to get rid of them. What's your opinion on this?
I'm getting traffic on my blog but i'm getting 0 clicks on the links. I dont know why 🙁 Everything is zero on amazon associates. Please help me out
