to my domain&#8217;s history, Google has crawled a total of approximately 40 old URLs now over the past month that appear in my Google Search Console coverage report.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, most of the old URL slugs are related to YMYL topics. One that popped up the other day was about &#8220;how to make money by surviving the pandemic&#8221;. Not exactly the kind of content that gets you in Google&#8217;s good graces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have since manually submitted all of these URLs for removal, and continue to do so as new URLs are discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On the E-A-T front, Google recently released some best practices around <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/docs\/advanced\/structured-data\/article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">author schema<\/a>, an area my site fell massively short on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By updating my &#8216;About Us&#8217; page, adding an &#8216;Author Profile&#8217; page, incorporating an author box to every post (using the Simple Author Box plugin), and adding socials at the site and author level, I believe I now check this critical box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my comprehensive site review, I also noticed two early posts that simply fall too far outside of my selected niche. Despite being 8 months old, neither post was ranking and so I decided to delete them both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And finally, one major adjustment I have made is incorporating link building into my overall strategy. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-3e7c8fa9\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-6fdfdaad\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-629d3784\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-629d3784\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-8085572e\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8085572e\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve built my current site traffic in 7 months without ever going out of my way to build backlinks. \ud83d\udd17<br><br>BUT, in response to the May core update and as part of my \u2018kitchen sink\u2019 strategy, I\u2019m having a go. \ud83e\udee1<br><br>These are the EXACT link building strategies I\u2019m using.<br><br>\ud83e\uddf5\ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SEO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SEO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/blog?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#blog<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Keith (Niche Twins) \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udcbb (@patientpublish) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/patientpublish\/status\/1539967193978327042?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 23, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-dd0675eb\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-dd0675eb\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s early days but I can already see why folks HATE actively building links.

With site traffic now set back a few months to April levels, it&#8217;s clear that the road to Mediavine is going to be longer than initially expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It is very possible that I&#8217;ll need to wait until the next Google core update (likely sometime in November 2022) to see the same growth trajectory the site experienced prior to the May update.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This assumes that Google recognizes the changes I&#8217;ve made to the site at that time&#8230;far from a given.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I have continued to choose NOT to add Ezoic at this time is the risk of negatively impacting site speed and user overall experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, these are only perceived risks at the moment based off my best attempts to filter the general experience of other niche site owners and SEO Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ultimately, I remain singularly focused on getting accepted to Mediavine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upside of adding Ezoic at this stage is potentially a couple hundred dollars a month. The downside risk is an associated decrease in rankings and traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8230;for now the downside risks outweigh the monetary upside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-global-color-9-background-color has-background wp-block-heading\">Historical Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"565\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Keith-Jun-2022-Historical-Data.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Keith-Jun-2022-Historical-Data.png 565w, https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Keith-Jun-2022-Historical-Data-300x207.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-global-color-8-color has-css-opacity has-global-color-8-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:43px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/imageedit_1_3848352120-150x150.png\" alt=\"keith headshot\" class=\"wp-image-3866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/imageedit_1_3848352120-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/imageedit_1_3848352120-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/imageedit_1_3848352120.png 426w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><em>Discipline = Freedom<\/em><\/em><br><em>Always Be Publishing #ABP!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links aligncenter is-style-default is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-social-links-is-layout-1 wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-twitter  wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/patientpublish\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M22.23,5.924c-0.736,0.326-1.527,0.547-2.357,0.646c0.847-0.508,1.498-1.312,1.804-2.27 c-0.793,0.47-1.671,0.812-2.606,0.996C18.324,4.498,17.257,4,16.077,4c-2.266,0-4.103,1.837-4.103,4.103 c0,0.322,0.036,0.635,0.106,0.935C8.67,8.867,5.647,7.234,3.623,4.751C3.27,5.357,3.067,6.062,3.067,6.814 c0,1.424,0.724,2.679,1.825,3.415c-0.673-0.021-1.305-0.206-1.859-0.513c0,0.017,0,0.034,0,0.052c0,1.988,1.414,3.647,3.292,4.023 c-0.344,0.094-0.707,0.144-1.081,0.144c-0.264,0-0.521-0.026-0.772-0.074c0.522,1.63,2.038,2.816,3.833,2.85 c-1.404,1.1-3.174,1.756-5.096,1.756c-0.331,0-0.658-0.019-0.979-0.057c1.816,1.164,3.973,1.843,6.29,1.843 c7.547,0,11.675-6.252,11.675-11.675c0-0.178-0.004-0.355-0.012-0.531C20.985,7.47,21.68,6.747,22.23,5.924z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 2022 Niche Site Summary Hitting publish in the early morning of June 30th, followed &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Niche Site Project #2 (Month 8 Update)\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/niche-site-project-2-month-8-update\/#more-4419\" aria-label=\"Read more about Niche Site Project #2 (Month 8 Update)\">Read post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4503,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Niche Site Project #2 (Month 8 Update) - Niche Twins<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nichetwins.com\/niche-site-project-2-month-8-update\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Niche Site Project #2 (Month 8 Update) - Niche Twins\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"June 2022 Niche Site Summary Hitting publish in the early morning of June 30th, followed ...
