Domain Profile

I used Ahrefs (paid) and Open Site Explorer (free) to help measure the effectiveness of my promotional efforts by tracking these metrics:

  • Domain Rating: 49 (+2)
  • Referring Domains: 360 (+76)

Traffic

TYS-traffic-April-2017

Traffic went down by 8.11% compared to March 2017 which is normal fluctuation.

Income

Income

We finished April 2017 with $5,226.82 in Amazon affiliate commission and $1,128.07 from a new affiliate program that we tested which summed up the total revenue for the month to $6,356.44.

What We’ve Done in April 2017

As usual, we continued posting new articles regularly and ran some link building campaigns.

We also started to focus on growing our Pinterest account  to get more social traffic to the site.

Our Pinterest strategy is pretty simple and straightforward:

  1. ​Create and optimize personal boards for big relevant keywords.
  2. Pin stuff regularly to the boards.
  3. Try to join as many big group boards as possible.
  4. Become a regular contributor to those group boards. Pin good stuff regularly.
  5. Mix in curated articles and our own articles then pin to those group boards.

This 5-step strategy seems to be working out well so far. We've been seeing an increase in organic followers and referral traffic to the site.

Income

For monetization, we've tested some new affiliate program and found a good one that added $1,128.07 in revenue to the bottom line.

We made some good progress on the e-commerce project as well - almost ready to launch!

Goals For May 2017

  • Test more affiliate programs to find ones that bring in more revenue.
  • Keep focusing on building our email list.
  • Getting the e-commerce project ready for the launch in June.

Conclusion

That's it for our 10th update. It's a quick one because there's not a lot of new things to report on with a monthly update schedule.
