So last month we were hit by the May Core Algorithm update
and I saw that a lot of people's websites were hit pretty hard, and actually two of my websites were hit by this algorithm update, unfortunately
So I'm going to go over all my websites, how much I made, and show you how my websites are doing after the update
and see just how bad were my websites hit. The two that were hit were my main website
and the website that I bought recently for $12,000, that's been doing really well
It's still doing pretty decent, but it was hit by the algorithm
And it seems like the big thing that was hit was the snippets
So in my opinion, I feel like maybe Google's trying to get rid of the snippets
I heard some people say that the snippets are kind of copyright infringement
because they're taking what we're saying word from word and putting it on Google's
website. So in a way that's kind of copyright infringement and people just haven't said anything
because when you win the snippet, your website is getting traffic because people are clicking that
I don't know. Maybe they're slowly trying to get rid of it or maybe it's just a bug. Nobody really
knows. But yeah, some people's websites were hit and some people weren't and it looks like two of
my websites were hit. So let's go ahead and take a look at all my websites and see how each one of them
are doing. So this right here is my. main website and it has been this is one that has gotten hit by this algorithm
update unfortunately the site has been going down recently for a little while
but it actually seems like it's starting to pick up a little bit towards the end so I don't know maybe the site has been affected positively by this update but it says
down 12% but then if we go over here to the search console you'll see towards
the end it actually looks like it spiked up a little bit right around May 29th
around Sunday. And I think Wednesday is where the update hit. So it does look like it dropped a little bit
but it looks like it started to come up towards the end
So I'm not sure. I don't know if this is positive or negative. It's really too early to tell
But May 31st, it looks like it did spike up a little bit
so I'll just have to keep my eyes on it. Here's site number two. Looks like it's up 15%
So this site's looking pretty good, from 2000 to. 2300 so about 300 more visits and we'll take a look at this and it does actually look like it was hit
negatively so around Wednesday May 18th is where the update happened and it does look like it had a slight drop here
so the site might have been affected by the core update unfortunately
but it's still doing pretty good next up is site number four which is my
mega case study site and this one actually is up 17% so that's pretty good and
And yeah, it looks like it had a little boost right here around Wednesday. So the next site is site number six, and this is the site that I bought from Carl a few months ago
probably like six or seven months ago, for quite a bit of money. And it's been going down pretty much ever since I bought it
And this site was the one that was hit the worst from this Maycore update
which is really unfortunate because the site's already been going down. And it looked like it started to go up
It looked like it was starting to go into season. And this update came
Cashed. So it's pretty bad. So you'll see here on ytics, 36% down
And this is, I mean, this was just halfway through the month. So if we multiplied that, I guess, by two, because half month, so multiply by two
it would really be down like almost 70%. So this site's like almost dead
So we'll take a look at the search console for the last 16 months
And you'll see it was starting to come back up. Starting to do good
And boom. Just it's decimated. Like it went from 200 clicks per day
Boom. 60. 30. And then look, it looks like it was hit even again
35. 23. 12. 12 clicks. I didn't actually realize it was that bad, but it's pretty bad
So I kind of regret buying this site from Carl, to be honest
I mean, it was, I bought it around, I think here. I bought it around here when it was, yeah, like right around here
It was doing so good. And then it just shot up. I was like, I was so excited about this site
And then like a month later, it just crashed. And I'm like, oh, it's not that big of a deal
It's just seasonality. And it starts going back up again. I think it's okay
And then crash again. And I'm like, oh, it's just seasonality. It's okay
It's okay. Oh, it's coming back up. It's starting to do good. And another update
Crash, crash, crash. And now it's like this site doesn't even exist
I mean 12 clicks. Now, since I've owned the site, I think it's made a few thousand
So hopefully it comes back. but I did get lucky and I bought another website for 12 grand
and that site makes over $1,000 per month so that makes up for this
So on average, so if you average them out, this site for $20,000, that site for $12,000
So the two sites for $35,000. And it's making, if you add this and that
it'd be about $1,200 bucks per month. So $1,200 bucks per month for $35,000
that now that a good deal all right so site number seven site number seven this is my main website tortoise cashflow I only have a few articles on there I not really trying to grow the traffic on this site
Really, it's just my brand. So it's up 17%, but from 29 to 34, so not really a big deal
And then you come over here and you'll see, I mean, you can't really tell if this one was hit or not
But yeah, it's just slowly growing, which is looking pretty good. I haven't really added any content to it anytime
soon. So just slow and steady. This would be site number eight. This is the site that I bought a few months ago
And it actually was positively affected by the May Core algorithm update. But the thing is, most of this
improvement in traffic is just coming from one article. So I don't have a whole lot of hope that this
is going to continue to be like this. Eventually, I'm sure it will come back down to
it here but for now it's doing pretty good but yeah like i said it's just the top article is
bringing in a crap ton of the traffic and yeah i don't expect it to stay up like that so it'll
come back down to around 100 visits per day but for now i'm enjoying 200 to 300 visits per day
so yep 8% increase and we'll take a look at this and you'll just see right here around
Wednesday the update happened and shot way up there so this site was definitely affected
positively but unfortunately it's just one article and that'll come back it looks like
it's already started to come back down so site number nine this is my gaming site
again a site that I don't really have a whole lot of content on so
it's hard to tell if it was hit by the algorithm or not it is down 23
but from 98 to 75 and again it doesn't have a whole lot of articles
so it's hard to really say if that was the the algorithm or just because it's a newer site with not much content
And yet, you'll just take a look at the last 16 months of the Google search console
and yeah, there's just not a whole lot of activity. Next is the website that I got with Otis
This is my aged case study. So this will be a separate video. But just so you can see, I don't know if it was hit by the algorithm or not
It's the same as my gaming channel. It looks like it had a spike right here around Wednesday
but again it could just be because it's a new website and it really doesn't take much for it to look like a spike
so but it's looking pretty good now we'll take a look at the search console and yeah it's just
slow growth slowly and steady but it looks pretty good that'll be a separate video for more in-depth
of exactly what i'm doing with that site so this is site number 11 so this is site number 11 this is
the site that i bought a few months ago for 12,000 so you guys
You'll see it was up .29%. So it was doing pretty good for a while
but you will see that around Wednesday, it was hit by the algorithm, unfortunately
And you get a better picture of that here with the Google Search Console
You'll see it was, so I think I bought it around here
Now, probably around hereish. But yeah, so since I bought it, it's been growing and grown and grown
And then right here around Wednesday, Wednesday, May 18th, the algorithm happened and boom, lost
About 20%, which again is, I think just from the snippets, because when you lose the snippets
it's about 20% of your traffic. But yeah, so I came down a little bit, but still doing pretty decent
And this is actually the site that I'm fixing to focus heavily on
I've already started gathering keywords. I'm trying to get 200 keywords, and each of my writers is going to have 50 keywords
And they're each going to be different topics. two of my writers will have the same topic, and then the other two writers will have two different
topics. And then there's one other writer that's already writing for this website. That's
another topic. So that'll be one. So it'll be about four different topics of this website
They're each going to get 50 keywords each, and I'm hoping to do 50 per month, somewhere between
40 to 50 per month. And yeah, I'm just going to go all out on this website because it's showing
such good potential that I feel like if I focus heavily on this website that we can get this to
like it's right now it's a thousand bucks per month I bet we could get this to two or three
thousand per month and like not the end of the year but maybe halfway through next year
and by the end of next year maybe it could be making four to five grand that's kind of ambitious
but that would be cool my main website has been going down and I'm kind of losing interest
on that site so I'm gonna once the list of keywords is done with that site I'm gonna move my
writer to this site and I'm that's what I'm gonna do with all my writers they're all as they
finish their list of keywords for the site they're working on they're gonna move to this site
and I'm just gonna eventually have all my writers on this site slowly over time as they
finished the other keywords and yeah so I'm just gonna focus on this one till we get right
now it's like 475 articles so my main goal will for the site will be to get it to a thousand keywords
and right now it's making a thousand bucks per month so you figure if i get to a thousand articles
then it should be making at least three grand per month i'm not sure what i will do at that point
if i will sell it or just keep it for the monthly income i guess we'll see when we get there this is site
This is a site that I bought like a month ago and when he sold it to me was making about 50 bucks per month
He sold it for 1200 I think and it had a huge increase so this one was positively affected
So 50 increase from 9 traffic to 14 so looking pretty good and just looking at the console It only goes back a month ago because that when I bought the site and so you just see it nice steady growth so next I go over the income how much I made
from all my websites and then I'll just take a look at the spreadsheet first I want to show you
how my Fiverr geek is doing so this is the ytics for Fiverr you see total that I've made
so far is 368 my average selling price is 24 and I've completed 16
orders so far. So first month I made $4 and then I made $68 and then 148. And this month May
I made 132. So four completed orders. I still have, I had four. I completed two orders today
So I should have two orders left to complete and then I'll be ready for new orders. So if you
want to order keywords, which is, I don't know if I said it yet, but this is my service here, I will get
low competition keywords for you. I've had nine reviews so far and they've all liked them
So I have a five star and you can come down here and you can see all my ratings
Every single one of them is a five star. So everybody seems pretty happy
So in the description down below, I'll leave a link where you can order some keywords. You can get five for $15. Or if you order more keywords, you get more of a discount
So you can get 14 keywords for $40 or 25 keywords for $70
So that's my service there. I'll leave a link down in the description box below
I really appreciate if you order the service and I hope you're satisfied with it
So now real quick, we'll go over how much money all my websites made
So Amazon for last month, we made a total of $513.19. Good amount of money there, 500 bucks, not too bad
Add cents. Add cents, we made a total of $215.59. And last month, I added a bunch of my websites
to add sense because recently Ezoic has updated their MCM or whatever
and now mediation with Ezoic has gone way up. A lot of my websites are making $2 to $3 per day from that
So it's worth it to add your websites to AdSense and then enable mediation through Ezoic
It's just extra money. And so far I've definitely noticed extra money coming in
through those methods. So it's definitely worth it to have both AdSense and EZOIC on all your websites
And maybe I should make a future video to show this a little bit more
But, yep, so this month I made 215. So now taking a look at all my websites
This is for the past year, all the way up until May. So it's slow and steady growth
In May, I made $1,400 from Ezoic plus 95 through mediation, 388 through premium
so a total of $1,896 with the EPMV of 16. I thought that I would
have been upgraded to premium plans but unfortunately they changed it so right here March I was upgraded
that's why in April I made 684 compared to this month and this month
it was only 300 so I made an extra $300 because I was
upgraded. But then you'll see here on April I only made 1281 because you needed
1,300 in order to be upgraded and unfortunately I was $20 under so they
downgraded me so the following month only made 388. So I thought that since I made
1412 I would have been upgraded and now next month I would make another 600 bucks
so it would be $300 profit. But that's not the case. They changed the premium
so now you need to make 1450 in order to level up
I don't know why they changed it. It seems a little, I don't know, it seems messed up to me that I was so close to
upgrading and then they increased the price. And now I'm pretty much losing $300 next month
I'm not sure how that works, but yeah, I was pretty mad when I saw that
It's kind of annoying. I don't really understand the premium thing. I wish I could just upgrade anyways
I mean, last month I was $20 off. This month, I'm $40 off from their new numbers
and I should be able to just upgrade because now I just feel like I'm losing $300
But it is what it is. I'm still happy with Ezoic. I'm making decent money
but I just don't really understand the premium and why they change the numbers
but it is what it is. I still made $1,896 this month
and it's way more than I ever imagined. I'd ever make blogging when I started three years ago
So I can't complain. So now we'll just go over all my websites and how much each one made
So site number one, my main website. Unfortunately, it finally went down from the thousand bucks per month and now I made 870
These are all my expenses. So in total, we made profit of 376 and 43 cents
So quite a bit less than normal. But we also spent more this month
Well, actually, no, we spent less than last month. But yeah, we just made quite a bit less because algorithm updates
And the EPMB just went down for some reason this month. Because we only went down 4,000 visits, but the EPMB went down quite a bit
Unfortunate, and this is why I'm shifting focus away from my main website
This one actually isn't even my main website anymore. The one that I, the website that I bought for 12,000 is pretty much my main website now for now
But, yep, site number two. Slight little boost in traffic and it made a total of 72 and 82 cents so profit of 58
So number four that my mega site so number six this is the site that I bought from Carl so you see it went from 6 to 4 and I feel like next month Because this is the algorithm happened halfway through last month I feel like next month it only going to make like 2 visits which is just pathetic
And it made 198. I feel like next month it will be like 100, probably less than 100
Really unfortunate. And I've been spending money on articles the last few months
I'm definitely going to cut that out and be done with this site for a while to see if it recovers
If it recovers, then I'll focus on it again. but if not I'm just going to have to take the loss
and just move on I guess I was I mean it looked like the site was coming back to life
and then core update happened so sucks what can you do site number eight
slight little boost looking good made a total of 88 and 30 cents
spent some money on an editor and so our total profit is 22 bucks
right number nine is my gaming site made 70 plus 102. I need to get monetized station set up on this
because it probably could have made a couple dollars, which isn't much, but something is better than nothing
Plus, it'd be good to have the big data ytics from Ezoic setup
But anyways, yep, it's slowly growing and spent some money on the domain
So gross net income is 1416. And 10 is the, this is the Otis
case study again this will be a separate video but it made 67 cents then site number 11 this is the
site that i bought for 12 grand that's making decent money i mean that the first month i bought it 300
and it was supposed to make between 3 to 400 when i bought it but then the very next month it made
853 and then it made 1100 and now this month it made almost another 1100 so looking really good
AdSense to this site along with a bunch of other websites and you'll see that it made
$72 from AdSense last month and it still made it made even more from Ezoic after adding
AdSense through mediation because I combined mediation with Ezoic because I'm not going to make
a whole other tab for that and then premium obviously went down so it only went down because
of premium because I was downgraded but because I added AdSense to this website it
made more money. So, I need to, I should make a separate video on this, but definitely if you have websites on
Ezoic, you need to add them to add cents also and set up mediation
And then site number 12, this is the site that I bought a month ago. So this would be the first month that I actually monetized it, or got it, yeah, got it monetized
And when I bought it, it was making like 60 bucks per month. And it looks like last month, it made $234.83
cents. So another good deal I think. Hopefully it continues to make that much money. And then
YouTube, I'll just come over here and show you through affiliate programs and stuff like that
My gross income was 534 93 minus all the expenses. So my profit was 363 and 93. And then my Fiverr last
month I made $108. Then Amazon One Link, you see I made zero on everything. I don't know what
happened. I think they upgraded Amazon One Link. I think I mentioned that in my last video and they
changed it. And so now my Amazon One Link doesn't seem to be working anymore. So I need to figure
out what happened there and get that fixed because I was making between 50 to 70. Now I'm making
nothing. So that's not very good. So now we'll come over here and you'll see my gross income was
2619 and 76 cents my expenses for last month was 1,21, and 28. So my total profit was 11, 18, 48
but that's not including my Fiverr money or my YouTube channel. So let's go ahead and get this
calculator coming up. So we'll take 2619.76 plus YouTube. I had to fix that. So and then we plus
534.93 from YouTube plus 108 from Fiverr. We made a total of $3,262.69. 69
We'll go ahead and subtract the YouTube expenses, which will be 171. And then subtract the website expenses
which will be 1,501. So our total profit for last month was $1,590.41
Which isn't too bad. So even though we were hit by the algorithm, we still made over $3,000 and we still profited $1,500
Now, the update happened halfway through last month, so I expect the money to go down even more next month
But I think that I'll still make around $2,500. overall not a bad month i hope that my two top websites recover a little bit because it's
sucks that my two main websites are the ones that went down hopefully the site that i bought from
carl goes back up but i've kind of lost hope for that website i should have never bought it
but i did buy it it's a mistake i made but my business is still doing good and i'm still happy
with where i'm at so can't complain too much again if you
want to buy keywords from me then I'll leave a link down the description box
below and you can check out my fiber gig here and get some keywords and I'm
just gonna put a YouTube recommended video right here it should be one that you're
interested in it's recommended by YouTube so it's got to be good but yeah check
out that video next thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video
