We have good news.
Our numbers have increased again these last 7 days.
- Not very much, but they have improved.
We know what you may be thinking:
- “You shouldn’t be worried about your numbers that much. This is a long distance race“.
It is not that simple:
If you’re dedicated 24/7 to building a Good Site, and you see your traffic “flat”… You start to worry.
The last thing you want is to feel like you’ve wasted your time.
- That is completely normal.
Psychologically, it is much more difficult to build a Site that we initially imagined.
- Perhaps, we relied too much on certain predictions of false SEO “experts”.
- Be careful with all the expectations you’ll find in YouTube.
- Practically all of them are absolutely false.
- Be careful with all the expectations you’ll find in YouTube.
That is why we started this Diary. To share our Real experience.
Anyway… We’ll talk more about it in our 2-Year anniversary Special Post (we’ll post it in early May).
Remember:
In this Diary we talk about How we are building this Website: our SEO strategy, Plugins we use, our Traffic Results…
- You’ll find all our Posts sorted by Topic here: “Website building and SEO Diary“.
Now, let’s talk about what’s new.
This short Post will be divided into 2 different sections:
1. We added Matched Content Ad Units to our Site.
2. Our Google Analytics report for today: Users and Pageviews we have.
Let’s begin:
1. We added Matched Content Ad Units to our Site.
Finally, our Site became Eligible for Matched Content Ad Units.
What is a Matched Content Ad Unit?
These Ads you can find in the Footers of many Sites.
- Now, ours included.
Allegedly, they increase Engagement, Pageviews and Monetization.
Do Matched Content Ads Work?
We Still don’t know.
- We added them last week.
In 1/2 month we will analyze the results obtained and we will obtain a Conclusion.
How can you be Eligible? What do you need?
Last Friday, we published a Page where we shared our experience.
- What our Site needed to be Eligible.
- How we configured our Ad Units.
- etc.

2. Our Google Analytics report for today: Users and Pageviews we have.
As we have said, our numbers look better:
Users:
As you can see in the Post’s top Image, we now receive 4,900 users per week.
- Our record so far.
Pageviews:
We currently have 27,922 Pageviews per month.
- It has taken us almost 2 years to reach these numbers.
That’s why we told you that this is not as easy as many “gurus” say…
As always:
- Thanks for being there.
