“Long, but worth the read”…. 1. This is incredibly wholesome. 2. 3.5 paragraphs is considered long these days…our attention spans have been absolutely trashed.

I’m reading a book on Sam Bankman-fried and the infamous FTX collapse and there’s one big thing I don’t think I’ll ever understand: FTX was a legitimate healthy business that was worth north of 32 Billion and Sam decided to steal customer funds from it to keep his, dying worthless hedgefund, Alameda, alive. He had the entire world in the palm of his hand. He had one of the most successful businesses in the country and he threw it all away to keep his other, crappy business alive. Now he will spend the next 25 years behind bars. Can’t make it make sense unless he is a much bigger idiot than the media and others will have you believe.

I sold my first ever niche site for $800,000 earlier this month, and earned another $400,000+ during the 3 years that I owned it. I’m free for the next 60 minutes. Ask Me Anything…

My neighbor started off as a plumber (still is). Over the years he picked up a ton of different skills/trades and eventually started building custom homes “on the side”. He just bought 3.5 acres directly across the street from us (and him). He’s building 4 homes, all directly on the lake. Doing all the work himself. Clearing the land, drainage, building the road and side walks, building the homes. This isn’t even half his equipment, all paid off. When I first moved in earlier this year I was leveling the ground by hand where a play-set was going to be. He walked over introduced himself and told me to stop. Next morning he had his backhoe over. Leveled it for me in 30 min. Dude is an inspiration. Treats the world like it’s a sand pit. So many different ways to win.

Mr. Beast on podcast yesterday: "I had so many years of trying and failing, trying and failing that I eventually accepted that I was just going to try and fail forever. I started uploading videos at 11 & I was 19 when things started to hit. 8 years of trying." Compare that to most people's overall lack of persistence and their attitude towards failure. -Most people have idea, never act -If they act but fail, they give up very quickly -Few people maybe on Earth would continue to stick with something after 8 years of failure Jimmy was ALWAYS going to win, question was only about scale - how big would he win.

Prabhakar Raghavan, current head of Google Search, previously "led" Yahoo Search from 2005-2012. When he took over, Yahoo Search had 30%+ of the search engine market, second only to Google. By the time he left that dominance had dwindled down to just 13%. Google was so

A niche site story… *3 years and 3 months *355 total posts *9,000,000+ pageviews *$1,202,635 total revenue *95%+ profit margins Remains one of the great business models.

New sites in this niche I found are EXPLODING. This site is a DR 24. There are ENDLESS keyword opportunities with massive volume. I'm exposing it in next weeks Niche Twins newsletter 👀 (Baby #2 is being born next Friday at 8am so I gotta get working on this now 😂)

Google trends shows that exact phrase is absolutely being searched, so why I autocomplete ignoring it?

🚨Introducing, Display Ad Daily (a free resource on NicheTwins . com)🚨 What: This report shows sites that were recently added to the Mediavine and Raptive Ad Networks. Report runs and is updated every 24 hours. How: The report relies on publicly available data from Mediavine and Raptive sellers.json files. Why: Google's search algorithm is changing all the time. Being able to analyze sites that are winning TODAY is invaluable. (The unfortunate reality is that even sites added 6-12 months ago are possibly less interesting as Google algo updates have reduced their traffic to zero. You really need near real time insights for it to be potentially worthwhile) Mediavine and Raptive have significant traffic requirements (50,000 monthly sessions, and 100,000 pageviews, respectively) that need to hit in order to be accepted onto their platform. So in many cases sites that have recently been added to these networks have just passed these required traffic milestones. Therefore, these are sites that Google is rewarding right now. You can gain valuable insights by analyzing sites that are winning today - insights that just might influence your own content/SEO strategy and execution. Google's search algorithm is constantly changing. Timelines is everything. Also - I just like to geek out about this stuff. It is fun looking at sites that just recently got added to these elite display ad networks - plugging them into Keysearch to dig deeper and observe what's working. I was doing this all with a few janky Python scripts that I ran directly in my terminal before 😂 Now it's just automated and available to you. I understand that this will likely make a few folks upset. I likely can't change that but just a few thoughts on the matter: In the past, I've openly questioned tools that "expose" other niche sites, blogs, content sites, whatever you want to call them. However my opinion on this topic has changed a lot over the past year or so. I first started blogging in 2020. I didn't know much then, but I was told by others that I shouldn't share my URL - so I kept it private. 1. I later learned that this is all public data. Nearly every single website on Mediavine and Raptive are already available to the public via the respective Ad Network's seller.json file. 2. If you don't want your name and domain listed in the sellers.json file, just ask Mediavine or Raptive to change it. Many do. 3. Several tools already do this (and much more) and were launched on this very platform. Those tools cost 200-300 bucks and allow you to filter on niche, DR, traffic etc. This is free, and just shares the domain. 4. Several newsletters in the space already share interesting sites that are winning today. 5. If you plan on "winning" at all with your niche site, prepare to have your site, and its content stolen. That is ALWAYS the unavoidable risk. "Winning" means ranking high in Google. And ranking high in Google means added visibility. Added visibility leads to theft - almost always (in one form or another). At its peak my first site was getting 800k+ pageviews a month. My content was stolen nearly every single day. It sucked. But it's part of the game. You can't avoid it - whether you "share" your domain, or not. 6. Which brings me to my final point - every single keyword research tool out there is built around hunting your domain and your keywords. It's just how it works. You can block these tools from crawling your site if you feel strongly about not showing up in them. My hope is that folks will use this tool to examine the sites that are winning, and look to potentially implement similar strategies on their own sites. Hopefully you'll be seeing StayNewEngland, Niche Twins and StartUpStumbles included in this report soon!

I'm fine. This is fine. Everything is fine.

There's a saying, "Be so good, they can't ignore you". Linkifi is THAT good. Just landed a DR 92 backlink from USA Today Travel for Stay New England yesterday. HIGHLY relevant. Huge get. Never thought in a million years I'd promote a link building service. But here we are... On my first site that did over 7 figures in profit, I never "built" a single link for nearly 3 years. I just did great keyword research, and wrote helpful content. Then I decided to give it a try and paid a company to go get me links. The links ended up being toxic. I asked them to remove the links and refund me. They did. Then I was hit with a penalty from Google 2 months later. Never again, I told my self. Flash forward a year later and I met Chris and Nick at Linkifi. Chris DM'd me and asked if I'd be willing to chat about him building HARO links for me. That was Nov 6 2022. I ignored him😂. Then he DM'd me again 5 months later. I like a persistent long follow-up play so I said sure, I'd talk. We chat on Twitter. Then we jump on a Zoom call. I like Chris. He says, "If you decide to go with us, don't expect anything for the first month or more." INSTANT trust earned on my end. Good links are HARD to get! It should take time. I'm in. Since then Chris, Nick and team have consistently delivered high quality links from the likes of Yahoo, Nasdaq, USA Today, ZDNet, etc. $3000+ dollars is A LOT of money to spend on links. And I am proof that you don't need to buy links or pay for a linking building service (I didn't, and I sold a site for high six figures earlier this year). BUT, if you have the capital, paying for highly relevant, high quality links is a cheat code. And speaking from experience, if you're going to spend that kind of money, you want to have confidence it's being put to good use. Linkifi is the only link building we recommend. Who knows how long HARO will last, but it's working wonders right now. We worked with Chris and Nick to get Niche Twin followers 20% off their purchase. That's a minimum of $750 in savings. I'll put the link and 20% code in the next tweet if you're interested. They're a great team, but they are busy (rightfully so). So if you're considering going with them I'd get on their list now. Cheers. -Mike

This is your friendly reminder that WordPress is 👑 I have a joint venture with someone - we are working on growing a site and it happens to be built with Webflow. Just found out there is new pricing - costs are going from $49/month to a minimum of $229/month. I pay $22 a month for Stay New England and it gets double the traffic.

The variety of “SEOs” on this platform -Google SEO -Google mouthpiece sign NDA SEO -Host 15 conferences a year SEO -Has family works on projects SEO -Consultant SEO -Employed by a Company SEO What did I miss?

A lot of folks are “done with Google” and going all in on Facebook, Pinterest, etc imo ignoring the single largest traffic source (Google) is a mistake - as is going all in on one social platform - that’s just another algo that will rug you eventually

Can someone explain what's happening here on Stay New England? Huge spike in impressions last two days for the following two terms: "restaurants near me" "places to eat near me" Barely driving any clicks...

I know I've talked about this already, and so has just about everyone else, but it's hard to stop thinking about: It is INSANE that Google just extensively developed, trained, tested and released a tool that diminished (borderline ERASED) the existence of white people. Then

I always laugh when I check Reddit's traffic growth. Google went from sending them 100 million organic monthly visitors to 800 million monthly visitors in less than a year. A 700% increase within 12 months. Totally natural.
