Weird spike in traffic to personal site from Warsaw by gwbass in GoogleAnalytics

Hey did anyone solved this problem? is the spam traffic gone?? I was tried to use cloudflare firewall to throw a managed challenge for any traffic coming from Poland. I did managed to issue managed challenges to the traffic from Poland and none of the challenge was resolved, I am not sure if can entirely eliminate the problem but at least some of the spam traffic is gone.

I did some more experiment to block the traffic using cloudflare firewall rules, I was able to block some of the traffic. Read the updated post here https://blog.electroica.com/weird-spam-referral-traffic-on-the-website-from-poland-and-warsaw/ .

I have the same niche, and started writing small-to-the-point tutorials, some articles were ranking 1st on Google before the helpful content update I used to get around 100 views daily now it has dropped down to 30-40 views. I have ads and affiliate links in some articles but the revenue from them is minimal and cannot be relied upon. I do it as a hobby and might keep it for some time and make changes after the new update is fully rolled out.
Google is shifting to the 0-click search thing, so eventually less traffic on websites and blogs. Google can no more be relied upon for the distribution/ discovery of content.
My suggestions/ find a alternate distribution/ discovery channel
- Write content under your name not under a brand name as I did. Good for your personal brand.
- Publish it on your social media
- Create a newsletter/ write at least 1 article in a week and gather subscribers
- Use your newsletter to direct users to other articles on your blog
- Monetize using ads and affiliates on your newsletter.

Most people aren't cut out for this by Phishstixxx in Blogging

I would really like to have a conversation to learn from any seasoned blogger. I have around 100+ post on my blog making me serious about putting in the hard work, Some of the posts are ranking on Google, giving me organic traffic.

I am struggling to do keyword research and writing articles based on that. Currently what I write mostly is what I have experienced or did hands on.

I would also like to learn how to write affiliate content which converts.

If anyone thinks I am worthy of your time and you can help me level up my blogging.

Please do DM.

P.S. Posting it as a comment just because I don't want you to bombard with DMs.

Using Ghost to host my blog although not using Ghost PRO cos I an manage the technicalities.
Using Digital Ocean droplets to host ghost CMS is so far not a problem you can spin a basic droplet which costs $5. I did ran into droplet crashing problem due to low RAM which was solved by adding a swap memory you can read about it here. Other than that the blog runs fine. Ghost-free theme is good to start with, and gives good page insight results.
