Please can you shed more light here?

What plugin do you use for inserting ads?

How do you place your ads?

What ad format works best; square, in-article, vertical or horizontal??

Do you have auto ads enabled

Sorry for the many questions, I get about 11k US traffic but my RPM that was at $12 is now dragging position with the floor at $3-4.

I tried ezoic, my RPM boosted back up and earnings increased but my site became very slow.

I appreciate your answer.

Klausgocrazy:
Bro can you suggest us niche to focus on for good audience in Nigeria. I believe most of us are confused on what niche gains traffic more in Nigeria , or maybe i am.

nurd:


If you are with ezoic and your adsense is active, you should try the mediation in your dashboard. That might help you earn more.

skultrick:


Yeah I did all of that and my earnings actually increased with ezoic, however my site became slower. I had no other choice but to remove it

nurd:


Then work hard, post more articles, and get on mediavine. You need 50k visits (sessions) a month to join.

In the meantime, have you tried affiliate marketing on the site to increase earnings?

nurd:


I don't recommend you try Nigerian traffic. You'll need lots of traffic to generate enough. Try and target first world countries. That's where you can really earn well.

Finding a niche is very easy nowadays. If you want a niche that you can target right now, check out sites for sale on flippa.com and motioninvest.com.

I don’t want to purchase site. I want start it up. I’m just looking at a good niche that will generate both traffic and money .

If you can suggest me niche I’d be glad , and start it up right away.

Also is blogger still good or you prefer Wordpress

skultrick:


I get more than 50k visits, though I haven't tried mediavine.

As for affiliate, I had Amazon until they closed my account in February for mistake I made 3yrs ago.

This mediavine do you know if they operate like ezoic?

The main reason why ezoic slows site down is because they re-route every traffic through their own IPs. Do you know if mediavine operates on same model?

Thanks for the feedback. I already put in a lot of work in setting up and creating dozens of articles on site123, so it's probably too late to move to WordPress, unless I want to start all over again.

Alright then. I understand. All the best!

Thank you. I doubt you've heard the last of me, though. 🙂

on site 1234 just de play

some one that has been into blogging for years with all experience is saying move over to WordPress.
unless those articles are copy paste if not my dear just delete that account with them after u have successfully either copy the content over to WordPress


look the image below. that's just one adsense account and I have over 4.

That means I had over 770k page views just the yesterday....
that 124 of urs honestly will shut down if it gets 20k visitors on a single day n I know u are on their free account.
cos with the premium account which is 5$ per month, u will get a better deal on namecheap with that amount.

ibinaboonline:
Well, let's first clarify we're talking about the same website builder. Are you sure the site 1234 you're referring to is the same as the site123 I'm referring to?
Moving on from to that, yes, I've pretty much established that I should've set up shop with WordPress. Alas, I already did too much work on site123, with no other option being to ride it out. Is it that easy to port a website from site123 to WordPress?
You're sure I'm using the free version of site123, but I'm not. I made a 12-month subscription after designing and populating the site with articles.
Let me mention that the incredible ease of building a site on site123 is the web builder's primary attraction. I so much love that they let you design your website and populate it with almost everything you need to make it ready before deciding to pay - or not. I think it's fantastic strategy for them because once you've designed and seen your website, the compulsion to publish it is very strong.
Now, on to more serious talk. Is the stats you showed here from your WordPress website or a website you ran on site123? You didn't make that clear. I don't know why you think my website on site123 will crash if it gets 20k views. I'm not defending them or anything, I'll just prefer if you back this up with evidence or some explanation. I really want to succeed. It's very important that I do.
Let me also mention that the premium I paid is $9+/month. Not $5.

Well, it's all mixed fortunes. I sometimes recommend Nigerian traffic to beginners who are still learning the ropes because it's easier to rank and start seeing positive signals unlike what obtains with the foreign audience.

If you can succeed and perfect your blogging art with a Nigerian topic, you can easily replicate that success with a foreign audience afterwards.

I'm not saying it's wrong to start with a foreign audience. But that option is trickier, especially for the newbie. No matter how easy your niche might seem to be, you need to know what you're doing to make headway.

nurd:


Yeah, that's true. Interestingly, I started with foreign traffic right away. Maybe because I was writing for people building niche sites then. If you know Dom Wells, I was once part of his team of writers.

I totally encourage newbies to try and do it this way. At least, it'll be easier getting traffic from home than abroad. Then use the experience as a stepping stone.

I've always wanted to try the Nigerian traffic for a while now but always pushed back because of the low earnings.

UPDATE: MORE PAGES INDEXED

After manually submitting more articles to Google's index a few days ago, I decided this morning to check if that had yielded any results. And alas! The number of indexed pages has gone up from 20 to 40! And that's despite that I'm left with over 10 articles not yet submitted.

I can only sit back and watch how this will impact the site's traffic in the coming few weeks.

If I’m to target worldwide I’d need to get a new domain name extension from .com.ng

Or can I go ahead wit the domain and target worldwide ?

nurd:


Note: As far as I know, all networks slow down your site, even adsense. So it all depends on how you build your site. I've achieved 90+ page speed score on ezoic and other networks so don't let that limit you.

As for your question, mediavine doesn't need any integration. Only ezoic does that in the industry. They will just insert a code on your site like you do with adsense, install their plugin, and you're good to go.

As a note, also check out monumetric. They have slightly higher RPM than ezoic. The only downside: you pay $99 to start if your traffic is below 80k pageviews a month.

webincomeplus:

When it comes to the Nigerian audience, here are some ever-lucrative niches to consider:
- Agriculture
- Small business ideas
- Education
- Technology (devices, reviews, and hacks)
- Making money online (legitimately, of course)
- Entertainment

I'm sure there are more, but that's the few I can come up with as I type right now.

PS. If you need a detailed guide on how to choose the right niche as a newbie blogger, I'd recommend that you get a copy of my e-book, where I dedicated a whole chapter to that. Your success or failure or blogging hinges largely on what niche you choose. Check my signature

val4sure:

have been following you on this thread and I must say, you know your onions, I have a blog that is now 10k monthly view, want to grow it to 50k to allow me apply for mediavine, please my question is, what's the best hosting to use cos the namecheap am using slows my site down, please recommend a good hosting for me, or the one you are using.

webincomeplus:


If your site is slowing down, I doubt if that's due to any issue from Namecheap's end. While Namecheap isn't the best hosting service out there, you shouldn't have issues with them with your present traffic figures or even after it goes up to as high as 50k monthly.

But if you're bent on leaving Namecheap, other reliable, yet affordable hosts you can consider are hawkhost and a2hosting.
