It’s Come Down To This

So the site of mine that was removed from Raptive with no real explanation is now on Ezoic.

It’s just barely shy of meeting Mediavine requirements.

And well over the required traffic for Journey, so while I wait for a Journey invite (or the traffic to cross 50K sessions), I’ve put it on Ezoic.

I tried AdSense at first, but after 5,000+ pageviews there were ZERO ad clicks.

So now, here I am, on day three of this site being on Ezoic.

I know that when you put a site on Ezoic, Raptive, or Mediavine that it takes a minute for the RPM to stabilize for you.

But you are not going to fucking believe the difference.

Here’s the last screenshot I got from Raptive -

The RPM is just over $20.

And yes, its only been two days on Ezoic, and yes the first month of a new quarter is often lower, but wtf is this shit?

Ya think it will even end up at $10? Cause this is some bullshit right here.

Ezoic often says they get the same access to the same ads as Raptive and Mediavine, so you can make the same as with them. But come the fuck on.

Of course, I think what is usually blamed is site owners not setting things up properly. But whatever. I’ll give it through the end of the month to see how it goes, but damn, this site better make more than $80 this month on Ezoic.

Coming up…

Upcoming topics: more tips and ideas on Etsy and KDP, how it’s going with my chatGPT fiction ebook and the AI music thingie, and growing an ecomm site.
