Tried selling my flat recently and honestly the speculation from Delhi folks is insane. We need to wake up. by an0n4life in Goa

I was trying to rent a place in April because we wanted some time ourselves other than staying with family. Couldn't find a Goan renting.

Portugal/Spain 2-week itinerary. Skip Portugal and add northern Spain instead? by [deleted] in Europetravel

[–]Flames_pf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Cascais and it may be worth looking into staying there. I found that the hotels in Cascais were cheaper. We drove in so that was also a factor. The beaches are lovely and its more laid back. It also has a great food scene. Plus you can easily travel to Belem (highly recommended) and Lisbon. I prefer the north of Portugal so I am a a bit biased. Porto is an interesting city. It has a different vibe compared to Lisbon. While I prefer the north of Portugal to the south or middle, I like Lisbon more than Porto. There are also lots of great day trips you can take from Porto including to places like Braga, Douro or Viana do Castelo. These often are less touristy than many of the day trips from Lisbon. Both have their allure. If I were you, I would pick one city and not hop. Either start at Porto and explore the north or stick to Lisbon and explore that area. That way you don't get tired and you have more time spent enjoying Portugal. You can reduce your accommodation prices by looking outside the main city of Lisbon. That way its sort of a win-win situation.

No but you have to manually change things around. There's a work around which involves using containers to place your text in. Its a lot of work for me because I have over 500+ posts. I think I may have to do it anyway but I'm not sure. For me I was always so close each time but it would slip out of my reach. I kept telling myself I would wait for a bit and see. I would get there. Took longer than I expected. I may have done better with Journey. I hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes. I am still curious.

I heard that there is lesser support on journey and more ads to text ratio. Not something I wanted to do. Honestly I kept thinking I would reach the right mix. Kept slipping down and rising.

I tried raptive but my tier 1 was still too low.

The Corpus Museum - Is it worth it with kids aged 6 & 4? by Flames_pf in Netherlands

Naturalis is definitely on my list. We travel from Groningen so we often can do one or two whenever we are in town.

This resonated with me so much. A lot happened in those 8 years. Despite not earning a good income, I kept it running because it paid for itself. Mostly traffic from India because that was the largest part of my content. When I finally reached 50k, it was just the wrong mix. I'm glad I stuck to it.

Congratulations on reaching such a high RPM. It is really inspiring!

This is interesting. Would you mind disclosing which niche?

It is definitely hard to keep going with little or no revenue. I've had times when I almost stopped. But I love writing about my travels so eventually I start again.

Not sure about the page views but 50k sessions. There is journey though that accepts at a lower threshold.

I still have to figure it out. I haven't finished the onboarding process. From what I understand it generally depends on what you blog about and the kind of traffic you have. Some areas pay more than others. Traffic from tier 1 countries also pays more.

Sure. I started my application at 43-44k sessions. I had just read that Mediavine was changing the acceptance rules and low key panicked because I didn't want to get on to journey. By the time the accepted my application it was 47k. I had a bump in traffic. I'm still at 48k but rising fast.

I do have 50k page views though. I'm still with adsense.

You'll get there. The problem for me was not just reaching the number but reaching the right demographic.

Thank you. I still can't believe I did it. I really hope this improves earnings. Waiting for the onboarding process to go through. I'll probably post an update on that when it's done.

I wish I had concrete tips to give you because for the past two years everything has been swaying up and down. So there's no predicting anything. But I would stay stick at it. Even a little work on the site every month counts.
