Morning All, I have been working with trying to understand HCU, Here are some things i have noticed from my largest site, i have lost 50% traffic - but this is what i have discovered
1) All my traffic loss came from Google organic search
2) My other sources of traffic maintained or grew a little bit
3) Video are doing better than my articles or better than written ( From Views Not Necessarily Revenue - I get all mine from Ads)
So I am diverting this way
1) I am putting most my effort now into videos - short - each article i make i am making a corresponding video for it, and each video links back to the original article.
So My SOP going forward
1) publish an article to Wordpess
2) i make video with Article Video Robot ( I had a stroke so me doing it personally will not work)
3) I post videos ( less than 5 minutes Long
4) Post - Pinterest Video
5) Post to Facebook Video
6) Post to X
7) Post to Rumble
8) Post to Youtube
9) Post to Odysee
10) Post to Instagram
Just wanted to share the steps I am taking to be proactive - unfortunately, i am guessing our organic traffic growth will continue in this direction possibly in the future
I have been listening to Anne Yese (sp) Jon Dykstra - Fat Stacks - then compared to my actual organic Google traffic...time will tell ...just wanted to share - god Bless Greg - I was thinking that any way that Ezoic could help us to diserify would help them and also us.
