Hello , This is my friend's recent case of Copyright infringenment. He has faced multiple posts removal which are originally and solely his own. He has been doing photography for a really long time now and has all the credentials of the pictures. Acknowledging this someone has falsely claimed as their own and filed a complaint against his content , directly resulting to taking down of many pictures from the Profile page. Please let me know what can be done to get the pictures back.

hello everyone i posted my first month report here a while ago and since then I have worked hard on improving my site and content, The month 1 stats were:

• Total clicks: 21 Total impressions:3.22k Average ctr: 0.7% Average position:15.7 

For month two I have the following (oct 10 - November 10)

• Total clicks: 176, Total impressions: 20.8k, avg position: 11.5, CTR: 0.8

if I go at this pace how long before I get to 10k views per month? is this a good progress?

I've wanted to try multiple things on-line but postpandemic lost all personal friends and family in one way or another. If I've brought up my interest with some, they seem to take it as greedy self promotion and want cheerleaders for themselves, but people who give and never ask for anything. Somehow that seems selfish of them to me.

Is there some sort of safe place where nice people, not trolls can want to start with mutually balanced interaction about subjects of interest?

Been seeing a lot of people asking in this sub about what they can do to get more traffic to their blog, so created a list that I use for my sites.

I will not be mentioning mainstream methods in this list (Pinterest for instance). I beleive they have been discussed already to a greater degree in this sub.

• threads- been seeing good traction and engagement here by posting links to new posts on a weekly basis.
• lemon8- tiktok’s fast-growing sister app that allows you to add longer captions, which can be suitable for lifestyle bloggers.
• interactivity studio - easy to get instant visibility for your blog here by creating and posting interactive images with a link to your blog. Posting on the community gets you a do-follow backlink.
• peerlist- Articles you post here get indexed fast and you get a do-follow backlink when you post in the weekly 'Spotlight.' Can be good for parasite SEO.
• product hunt - My recommendation for this one would be to create a tool of some sort that is related to your niche and then post a link to the tool on a PH launch.
• wordpress (dot) com. - I create a parellel blog on the free plan (that comes on a xyz.wordpress.com subdomain) I put in some effort to rank for the same keywords as my own blog by creating high-quality content that fits the user’s search intent. Once the blog starts to rank and get organic traffic, I add links to my main site for the topic. (Warning- do not create more than 1 such site or else you’ll end up with a PBN (private blog network), which can be risky in the medium-long term).
• flipboard - works really well with visual niches. Original content tends to gain good traction here in my experience.
• webview apps - get someone to ‘turn your website into an android app’ through a Fiverr gig. If you’re in a high-competition, high-search volume niche, having an app that opens up with your website can deliver great results since your app will show up in the SERP on mobile under Google Play’s website, on par with some big sites. (I recommend starting with android since it is a one-time fee of $25 to list the app, while on iOS, you’ll pay $99/year).
• email - I capture email using the grow plugin and add each new subscriber to an automated email pipeline through convertkit which helps create more returning users.
• bluesky- great potential for all kinds of niches. Easier to get visibility for your blog here than X.

Ok, that’s all that I can think of that are not mainstream (yet). You might say- hey isn’t email mainstream at this point? I agree, but it is worth mentioning the email capture funnel method for those who might not be looking into it. Also, mainstream is subjective, and these are just sources and methods I found over the years that I don’t see people talking about much, so here we go!

i have new blogger blog and i wanna get traffic , not getting any

Hi. I very much like tech and blogging. And I want to start blogging about tech. But the problem is I don't know what to write about.

I had some ideas like sharing news or creating newspaper-style articles about what is going on inside the tech world, but I'm not sure about that either.

Has this ever happened to any of you guys when you were starting?

Hi everyone! I’m not sure if anyone is interested but I’ve got a few domain names that I don’t plan to use. They are pretty good and may serve the right person. DM me if interested. I’ll keep this post up for about 48-hours.

I was listening to a podcast and they talked about it. I know AI writing can be tricky for SEO, but apparently, Jasper works fine. They're no free version to try it, so any of you already tried Jasper ? What do you think about it?

How many times have you googled for some information in your field and when you start reading the results, you instantly feel "even I can writer better than this crap"?

The factors that affect a blog's ranking and indexing is quite unknown, they're locked behind a black box called "algorithm" which determines how your pages are going to rank. Quite recently, many folks on this very sub complained that many pages of their sites got de-indexed all of a sudden by this black box, they don't know the reason. I was also one of them.

Now what exactly are those factors will never be published or known in all likelihood. But considering that our whole communication and expression with the world at large depends on it, don't you ever wonder what might be those factors? Your blog's pages could be rejected not just on the basis of content quality but also on several factors related to its owner (i.e. you) including your race, gender, ethnicity, religion, political ideology, voting pattern, views on social media, income level, etc. Remember, google not just knows everything about you but is also capable of affecting the changes it wants, it is both "omni-scient" and "omni-potent" in that sense.

Also remember that these algos work on certain fed logic which could be anything. A human being (however biased they may be) will feel a slight remorse or tinge of guilt for rejecting you on the basis of who you are. But a machine or algo will never feel such a thing, it can "pull the plug" in an instant so to speak, mechanically, without a heartbeat or remorse.

Now, before you say this is just baseless fear mongering, consider that there is a reason these algos are kept behind the black box, and there is no way for us to know if folks are being judged harshly because of these individualistic factors or not. But consider that even if there is the slightest chance that this was indeed happening, the future of your and my expression, our very civilization might be at stake here!

I started a lyrics blog during COVID in my second year of college, as classes were online and I had enough time. It grew steadily, and within six months, I made good money. Visitors gradually increased, and I worked on it consistently for two years. Then, classes went back to offline, so I had to return to college for my final year, and I couldn’t focus as much on my blog. Traffic began to drop, and with the added workload of projects and an internship in my final year, I couldn't post as often. Additionally, Google introduced an update that affected my site. I still own the domain, but traffic is very low. Is there any way I can grow it back?

Hey fellow bloggers!

I'm reaching out to the Reddit community for some advice on how to improve my blogging platform, Mecella. I'm looking for feedback on how to make it a better platform for both users and content creators.

Here are some specific areas I'm interested in:

• User Experience: How can we improve the overall user experience on Mecella? What features or design changes would you like to see?

• Content Creation: What tools or resources can we provide to help content creators produce better content?

• Monetization: What are some effective ways for content creators to monetize their work on Mecella?

• Community Building: How can we foster a stronger sense of community among Mecella users?

A lot of this I have answers to through trial and error, but I'm still open to any and all suggestions, including critiques of the blog itself if you manage to visit it (no links provided), so please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas.

Thanks in advance for your help!

-Mecella Co.

My blog was in a very steep decline throughout all of last year. I was refocusing on other sources of traffic and alternative ways to monetize. The March core was the final nail in the coffin and I was down to about 30-40 clicks from Google daily.

I was putting in so much effort and really overhauled the whole thing over the past year too.

Then the August core happened and suddenly I’m getting about 1000 clicks from Google daily on top of other sources. I went from ranking for a few hundred keywords to over 20K.

I’m now on Mediavine and traffic seems to be growing slowly but steadily at about 10% weekly, mostly from Google. About 15% of the Google traffic is also Discover. I’ve never had traffic like this and I’ve never been on Discover.

I’m not abandoning the other projects I started working on because I don’t really trust Google anymore.

• I’m putting out as much new content as possible and a lot of is ranking on the first page within hours or days.
• I’m updating old content.
• I’m building internal and external links.
• I have an SEO audit in the new year with someone highly respected in my niche.
• I’m creating a membership section with a complex service that a developer is creating for me.
• I’m creating digital downloads for sale.

But I feel overwhelmed with what to do next. I feel scared that this will be taken away.

I’m not afraid to invest in my business because I really do believe in the content I’m creating but I’m stuck in a “forest for the trees” situation where I’m not sure where to best invest my limited time and money.

I’m a SAHM and homesteader and my niche is homesteading with a heavy focus on recipes.

What would you do in my position to grow? What do people in my situation overlook?

Is it a requirement to already have Adsense running on your blog to apply to ad agencies like mediavine?

I heard it’s easy to get banned from Adsense even when you didn’t do anything wrong. So is it worth taking the risk knowing you could get banned and never be eligible to get approved by a bigger ad network?

Howdy! I just noticed my site has duplicate accounts in GA4. Same name and site address, but different account numbers. Similar data -- the overall visits and sessions are the same, but there are discrepancies for the other data points.

I only noticed the duplicate accounts because I applied to Mediavine, and when I granted access to my GA4 account, there was a drop-down to select from my two identical properties! Unfortunately, I couldn't tell which was which from the drop-down selection on the Mediavine site. After sweating a bit, I picked the one on top.

Does anyone know why I have two accounts? And, more importantly, is this bad? 😬

Thanks!

Has anyone successfully started with the free Wordpress first? And then after having enough traffic transitioned to a paid more professional version?

I know the argument that in order to make money you need to invest it first, but I personally prefer the organic growth from providing more and more value, and then upgrading to provide even more value.

So have you been able to transition from the free Wordpress at some point? Because you had enough readers?

I keep seeing medicine journey come up through Reddit subs for new/growing blogs. I am wondering what other options are available outside of Adsense??

Hi all,

I am so excited that I got into the Journey program. I was not expecting it, I just applied on a whim but they let me in. You can check my post history to see my 3 month blogging report with my stats.

But now that the ads are on my site, I am worried it will drive people away. I spend a lot of time making my site pretty and now with ads it's not quite as pretty.

I will say though, my site speed seems okay still with ads and they are not plastered on every inch, just in between paragraphs and on the side bar.

Experienced bloggers- is it worth it to run ads? Did you lose traffic when you added them?

My goal is to make money and I am so new at all this, making only $22 in affiliate sales so far so I want the ad income, but not at the cost of people immediately leaving my website.

Or do people just expect ads? There is a blogger I follow who addressed this, saying basically that she puts out valuable information, free of charge, and she deserves to be compensated for her time and she that if people are bothered by ads, then her blog might not be for them. She elaborated that people who appreciate her work will understand she needs to make a living, like we all do and they'll deal with ads.

That approach makes sense to me, but I would love to hear your thoughts.

Please advise!

For anyone who has been using HARO or now Connectively, they're going to discontinue this service as of December 2024. What (if any) alternatives do you plan to use?

I have a blog with the slug '/top-neighborhoods-to-stay-in-lisbon-during-summer'. It seems to get some impressions around 'lisbon neighborhoods', but no clicks of course since it's out of season. I am thinking to:

A. Delete this post and create a new one which I can update whenever regardless of the season (e.g. '/top-neighborhoods-to-stay-in-lisbon')
B. Update this post and also add a re-direct from the current slug to the one stated in option A
C. Create another season post (e.g. for winter), but not sure if it makes much sense for this city to be honest (i.e. in summer you may prefer to stay close to the beach rather than the center)

What do you suggest?

I am paying around 30Euro a month on server costs to keep this site up. Can someone guide me on what must I do to increase the number of visitors and also what is criterea for google adsense? I applied last week and got rejected.

Just the title.. anyone else getting the same issue?? I m facing this issue badly. I even indexed it again, post indexed starts to show in search results but in a day or two, it again remove from indexing. Any tips is fixing this issue?

I have a travel blog site where I post content in English and Spanish. All Spanish blogs are located under `/es`. I use Ghost CSM, have around 50-60 blogs, and add location tags to my posts (e.g. Europe, Portugal, Lisbon). I would like to use them as subdirectory. So for example, for `blog.example.com/cost-of-living-lisbon` I would like it to be `blog.example.com/europe/portugal/lisbon/cost-of-living-lisbon` (and `blog.example.com/es/europe/portugal/lisbon/coste-de-vida-lisboa` in Spanish).

1. Is this wise/recommended?
2. What is your experience migrating links to follow this structure?
3. Will this negatively affect my SEO, traffic and ranks? Or boost it?

I expect this to boost my current traffic, but just want to know if it's worth or recommended to do it. Thanks all =)

Before I start, I just want to point out that I’ve posted this in a few subs. I’m just looking for advice from as many groups as possible. Also, I know that the project I’m talking about isn’t a blog per se, but has a blogging component and would be primarily a blog for a little while at the start, so I figured asking here was appropriate.

Hello, all! I'm here for some input regarding starting an author website next month or waiting a year.

I had planned to start a website under the TienSwitch name in mid December of this year, to coincide with the ten year anniversary of a blog I had started in the past (now gone). The site would have hosted my currently published fiction (on Royal Road at the moment), The Adventures of BLUE EAGLE, along with my main fiction, Switch and the Challengers Bravo. It would have acted as a lead to my Patreon and KU pages. There would have also been a blog component as well, writing about writing and superheroes, monetizing with affiliate links all the while.

Here's the thing: I am a slow writer. Because I don't want to be stressed out with the demands of writing with looming deadlines (again, Patreon), I'm building up a multi-book backlog. I'm currently done with Season (Book) 3, and want to have Season 5 (out of 7) done before I start publishing. I'm estimating that to be two years from now, which is perfectly fine with me. I'm willing to wait.

The thing is, though, it makes me wonder what I should do about the website. Start this year, or delay it by one year?

There seem to be pros and cons of each:

Starting now

Pros: If I start this year, I'll be making an early start in getting my name out there. If all goes well with focusing on the blogging component, I'll have a small fanbase or set of followers ready to go for when I launch my work. Plus, the first half of The Adventures of BLUE EAGLE episodes can pretty much be packaged into an ebook and sold on Amazon at any time, and I plan to release a novella called Switch and Blue Eagle in the not too distant future. That, coupled with almost 25 blog posts pre-written, means I have some material to go.

Another pro is that I plan to put the novella and The Adventures of BLUE EAGLE episodes on Amazon shortly after the site starts, and starting earlier means hopefully those can start selling earlier.

Cons: After three years of working on my main story, I came back to Royal Road a couple weeks ago and published three new episodes of The Adventures of BLUE EAGLE to seemingly no one. Despite promoting heavily for a long time and being active on the forums, I just wasn't able to maintain people's interest in my story. I mention that because I fear that this situation might mirror my most recent experience. While I'll be starting off hot, I worry that two years (minimum) without anything but a novella and a set of episodic short stories isn't going to maintain anyone's interest or curiosity for that long. It would be incumbent on my blogging skills to keep people engaged, and I'm not as confident in my blogging skills as I am my authoring skills (not successful in either, but I've had one blog in the past for six years and it barely made any money). Plus, I'm not looking to be a blogger, nor am I looking for the site to be primarily a blog.

Additionally, cost is an issue. I can afford it all, but if I start earlier, that's extra time I spend paying for the blog. Note: I'm going away on a trip in two weeks, and I'd rather not throw away the extra couple hundred bucks if it's not worth it.

Starting next year

Pros: I can bide my time and wait. I'll have more blog posts ready to go, possibly around 35-40. This is huge, since I am not much of a blogger (in my other blog, I was posting an average of one blog post every three weeks).

More importantly, I'll have less time between the site going live and my publishing my main series. That means a novella, some short stories, and a blog will have less time that they will have to hold people's interest in me before my serialized main work is ready. Only one year (roughly, as currently expected) instead of two. Significantly less time of promising my fans that a mysterious new main project is "coming soon".

I'll also have more time to learn how to properly blog and run a website, rather than just posting to the wind and seeing what happens (also, if anyone knows any really good resources to learn blogging and running a website, let me know).

Cons: It can take a bit of time to build and maintain a following from a blog. I've heard that the sooner you start doing this, the better. I'll be cutting the amount of time I have to build a fanbase before my main work starts in half. Of course, that's making the bold assumption that I can run a popular blog, but either way, it's now less time that I have getting my name out there. That means less time monetizing through affiliate links as well, and less time selling my The Adventures of BLUE EAGLE short stories and Switch and Blue Eagle novella on Amazon.

Well, that's all I have to say on the issue for now, especially since it's late night and my eyelids are getting heavy. I just wanted to get the input of the community on whether I should create my author website now or wait one more year.

Hi everyone,

I've been actively writing on Medium for the past 9-10 days, publishing an article nearly every day. My focus has been on topics like business analysis, world economy, trade policies, and global trade. I currently write anonymously, so I haven't been sharing my articles with friends or promoting them on social media—I’m hoping to build an organic following.

So far, I've got around 77 views and 23 reads in total, which is lower than I expected. I’d love some insights into what could be causing this low engagement. Is there something I might be overlooking in terms of Medium's algorithm, tags, or even the style of my content?

If anyone would be willing to check out my Medium channel (link below) and provide feedback, I'd really appreciate it! Any tips or advice would be fantastic.

Thank you so much in advance! http://medium.com/@bizpulseanalyst

In 2022 I started a blog where I post my creative works ( poetry, short stories, etc) on wix because wordpress was too hard to me to figure out and I got roped into their promotions. The problem is, I have been facing some financial hardship this year and while I really want to get my blog back on track, I cannot afford Wix premium. Im thinking of just buying my domain and switching to a cheaper host site. any advice for me?

Introduction

Have you ever wondered why your morning coffee wakes you up or how your Wi-Fi magically connects you to the world? Science is behind almost every ordinary thing we encounter daily, but it’s easy to take these wonders for granted. Let’s break down some common everyday phenomena and uncover the science behind them.

1. How Refrigerators Work to Keep Food Fresh

Refrigerators are an essential part of modern life, but few people think about the technology that keeps their food fresh. A refrigerator operates on the principles of thermodynamics, using a process called refrigeration to move heat from the inside to the outside, thus lowering the internal temperature.

Here’s how it works: • The Refrigerant: The refrigerator uses a fluid called refrigerant, which absorbs heat as it changes from a liquid to a gas. • The Compressor: When the refrigerant absorbs heat from inside the fridge, it evaporates and turns into gas. The compressor then compresses this gas, raising its pressure and temperature, so it can release the absorbed heat outside. • Condensation: Once the gas releases heat, it condenses back into a liquid, which is cooled further and sent back into the fridge to start the process over.

By repeating this cycle, refrigerators keep the temperature low, slowing down bacterial growth and helping food last longer.

2. The Science Behind Common Myths: Does Sugar Really Make Kids Hyper?

The idea that sugar causes hyperactivity in children is widely believed, but science tells a different story. Numerous studies have shown no definitive link between sugar intake and hyperactivity. Instead, the “sugar rush” phenomenon seems to stem from the excitement around eating sugary treats or being in social situations (like birthday parties) where sugar is often consumed.

Why the Myth Persists: • Placebo Effect: Parents often anticipate hyperactivity after children consume sugar, leading them to interpret normal energetic behavior as a “sugar rush.” • Occasions Linked to Sugar: High-energy environments like parties and events, where kids are naturally excited, also tend to serve sugary foods, creating a misleading correlation.

While consuming large amounts of sugar isn’t ideal for anyone’s health, sugar itself is unlikely to make kids hyperactive.

3. Why Do Some People Experience “Brain Freeze” When Eating Ice Cream?

That sharp, painful sensation in your head after eating ice cream too quickly is called “brain freeze,” or more scientifically, sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. It happens when something cold touches the roof of your mouth, triggering blood vessels in your brain to constrict and then rapidly expand, causing a burst of pain.

Here’s a breakdown of why it happens: • Sudden Temperature Change: The cold sensation hits the roof of your mouth, and your body tries to warm up the area by sending an influx of warm blood to the brain. • Pain Signal: This rush of blood can cause a rapid increase in blood flow and trigger pain receptors, which send a signal to your brain, interpreted as a headache. • How to Stop It: Pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth can help warm the area, potentially reducing the pain of brain freeze faster.

4. Why the Sky Changes Color at Sunset

Watching a sunset is breathtaking, but what causes the sky to shift from blue to hues of pink, orange, and red? This phenomenon is due to Rayleigh scattering, which describes how light behaves as it passes through Earth’s atmosphere.

The Science Behind the Colors: • Blue Skies: During the day, shorter wavelengths (blue and violet) scatter more in the atmosphere, making the sky appear blue. • Sunset Colors: At sunset, the sun is lower on the horizon, so light travels through more atmosphere, scattering the shorter blue wavelengths out of view and allowing longer wavelengths like red and orange to dominate.

This is why we see those warm colors during sunrise and sunset, adding magic to these moments of the day.

5. How Wi-Fi Works: Connecting Without Wires

Wi-Fi connects our devices to the internet without physical wires, but how does this happen? Wi-Fi relies on radio waves, which are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, just like visible light. Wi-Fi routers transmit data through these waves to connect our devices to the internet.

Key Components of Wi-Fi: • Router and Radio Waves: Your Wi-Fi router uses radio waves to send and receive data to and from your devices, functioning as a mini radio transmitter. • Frequency Bands: Most Wi-Fi operates on either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency bands, each with its own strengths in terms of speed and range. • Decoding Data: Devices like smartphones and computers have built-in receivers that decode the data transmitted via these waves, turning it into the information you see on your screen.

This invisible network of radio waves has revolutionized the way we connect, enabling everything from online work to streaming.

Conclusion

Science explains so much about our world, from the functioning of household appliances to the mysteries of the natural world. By understanding the basics behind these everyday phenomena, we can appreciate the role science plays in making life more comfortable, enjoyable, and connected. So next time you grab an ice cream, scroll through social media on Wi-Fi, or watch a sunset, you’ll know a little more about the magic happening behind the scenes.

With a blend of curiosity and science, there’s always something new to learn about our everyday world!
