It was really fun working on https://bikesaddicts.com. He’s doing a great job of so many things and the growth on his site is starting to reflect that!
As you watch the video, I hope you’ll look for things you may be able to improve on your own site.
Good video guys got good ideas for my own site . Thanks
I love these makeovers! 2 questions from a long time student. 1. By headlines being over 60 characters, are you referring to post titles or headers (H2) within the content, or both? Does that include spaces? 2. Is the Ezoic meeting available for students? I’d love to see that. Thanks for all you do:)
Woww this video is very informative! I would love my website to have a revamp, too.
Do you think the domain name has any impact on authority? Bike being plural sounds a little off grammatically (to me anyway).
Hey guys, do you happen to know if google sites (free sites by Google) lets you put advertisements on your webpages made on their platform? It's a little confusing researching this. Looks like they used to let you put adsense years ago, then they stopped a few years ago. But there's no 2022 updates on what's happening. Googling this just leads to scammy SEO page where a YT video doesn't actually answer the question.
Amazing even IS did not notice that the content was made by AI. They even mentioned the content was good.
Kudos to you, but for those of us who have a banned Adsense account we can't earn from ad networks as google is not allowing anyone who has a banned Adsense account to take part with the other ad networks, really disappointing as my account got banned back in 2015 long before I even knew what blogging was, I had an affiliate site back then bought traffic with Fiverr and boom woke up one day and my account was banned from google, so now a few years later I start blogging and can't take part with any ad networks because google has a stranglehold on these networks to not work with any banned AdSense accounts even tho some of us did this mistake honestly and didn't know the difference, so my advice to other bloggers forget about monetization with ads if you're on the list of banned google Adsense.
This’s really interesting video I’m just wondering, do you guys do that for all P24 members websites
Love this channel!
I would like someone to help me with a doubt. I use EZOIC in ads max, but my site is very polluted.
Do you set the maximum ad limit?
What is the maximum you put?
Mmmm you guys are too
Humble. This was a makeover…
How did you make that reusable block with the boots? I'm trying to do that for my dog site, but the heading is a different block, the paragraphs with the products are different blocks, etc. How can I fit it all in one block?
What am I supposed to do to get my site checked too?☺️
Hello,
I am currently writing programming blogs on Medium and Hashnode. I am using Canonical link of Hashnode platform in Medium’s post.
Hashnode provides all SEO option and allow to use custom domain. So my question is if I use Hashnode with my custom domain and move to the wordpress/ghost or own website in future will it affect SEO. I am not sure as SEO look at domain authority as well.
Main reason for this is Medium and Hashnode has huge audience readily available.
Ricky, why do you keep "Follow" all outbound links?
are you using directions to create a custom category page or any plugin? please answer
Any recommended tutorial to create custom category page
Don’t forget to always optimise your images because it will effect your website speed.
Amazing work 👏🏽
Great job guys and now that site is set to roll
Oh my gosh how can I win one of these!
Please do this kind of review for your existing P24 members !
If you are not a native English speaker (like me), Grammarly is a must.
Could you do a video on menu structure please?
Extreme Home Makeover. Do you guys remember that show?
How did you align the amazon image to the left and the text to the right? Thanks
Great job! Do you offer this revamp as a service? I would pay for that!

Very helpful….great video!
I watched this video and doubled my income instantly!
I used to earn $0 and now I earn double that amount — still $0.
That was a silly joke, never mind.
This person got a fantastic overhaul.
The tips and improvements you give us for free are awesome. So many learnings I can use for my own website. Keep up the awesome work 🙂
Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know the 123RF link is not working on my end.
Amazing walkthrough and equally amazing that a site that is so young (wayback doesn't go beyond nov 2021) is doing so well. Good job, owner!
Hi Ricky, thank you for this video. My site is 15 months old and the traffic is steady from last three months, Is I’m doing right?
Can you revamp my site ? Is this a service you provide? You did both did a phenomenal job with Bike Addicts ‼️
Some great advice in here, as usual! I'd love to see a video from you guys about the ins and outs of setting up a wordpress site; not so much the basics, but things like reusable blocks and formatting home pages. I'm sure you've got plenty of tips and tricks!
Could you do a specific video about inter linking?
I'd like to thank Ricky and the rest of the income school team for revamping my website: it has been a pleasure working with you. Since you fixed the ads on the site I've seen a significant increase in EPMV, which is now more than double.
The other work you provided was also extremely valuable. The traffic to the site is also steadily increasing.
Thanks for your support
great video, shows why you are pros
Nice!
Fantastic 😍 I guess I should go through same process for my site, just to make sure that I'm on right track. 🚶♂️
Wow. Great video, good explanation of actionable steps to take and tips that i can use for my site.. lucky winner!
P24 is an excellent course and really geared towards absolute beginners, wrote 2 articles last week on a 1 year old site with 5 old posts and it got ranked already, p24 is the boss
