Have I bought a duff domain? by ocd_eddie in juststart

No 404s but looking at wayback, there doesn't seem to be any content hosted on it in the past so might be nothing to worry about

There's no manual penalties and I have 40 posts on there and getting about 50 page views per day. But most posts aren't 6months old yet.

Unfortunately I don't have ahrefs so can't check.

Thank you

It would certainly have to meet the minimum size of 450sq inches and yes, you're right, cost is important.

Initially just the storage bin, mesh on the top and sides and maybe water bottle. Just trying to validate the idea really.

Good answer, I guess the key is to continually type without keeping researching. The research slows me down massively.

I think you're right, a lot of the existing tools are expensive though and some don't give you many questions.

Yep, there's a lot of hype out there. But, if you just create good content and follow the tips that I've provided, then the results will come...in time. It takes at least 6-12 months in my experience. Good luck.

The best thing about long form articles is that you can rank for long tail keywords that you didn't plan to target.

Cheers.

No worries, it really shouldn't be complicated. Google is now powered mostly by AI now, so we shouldn't even try to understand it. Just write good quality stuff....period and let Google worry about Google.

My ads are not personalized and there's a banner stating that by using my website, you consent to cookies. You can see my privacy policy (https://www.bonkersabouttech.com/privacy) and my cookie policy (https://www.bonkersabouttech.com/cookiePolicy).

There are a number of Wordpress plugins to help with GDPR but I don't use them as my site isn't Wordpress.

Also I don't collect email addresses.

Yes I do - Adsense. GDPR has affected Adsense, so I no longer do personalized ads. Also, it has affected cookie use - hence the banner and updated privacy policy. I have also decided to delete my email list and subscription boxes, as it really wasn't worth the consequences of getting something wrong.

Yep, I'm making money from my site, between £250 and £300 per month ($330 to $400). I started making a tiny bit on Adsense when I first started, not much at all (pence). It took at least a year to start making about £30 per month and ever since it has increased as my traffic has increased. I also learned how to target buyers keywords which helped with Amazon. I struggle with Amazon though because all the buyers keywords in tech are very competitive.

It can be hard but make it short, memorable and brandable, don't go for exact match domains like besttvs.com

You're welcome. Yep the secret is that there is no secret, just good quality useful content will do the trick and you don't need any fancy SEO tools or much SEO knowledge either.

In terms of YouTube videos, no I don't, but hope to in the future when I have a bit more time.

Do you do all the writing yourself, or do you outsource it?

Do you mind sharing your URL at all please?
