I have a tech website that is not updated for almost two years. It has some traffic but nothing good enough. I keep renewing the domain name because it still earns 200-300 doll
No I would stay with same, but rather scale as and when it is necessary as long as the other sub category niches go hand in hand with the broader niche
Example Succeeding With Golf Balls, Scaling With Shoes!
Another note worth mentioning, your domain URL is not effected by SEO vs writing quality rich content with a good choice of keywords as the latter what would rank you in the search engines.
So I would not change my URL vs focusing on producing high impact content. Consistency also plays an important part, the recommendation is 2 - 3 posts a week a niche a site.
I think that old websites get ranked faster on Google. A new website would be more niche-focused. Of course, quality content and consistency are important.
From the answers and my research, it seems a better idea to add the new content to the existing website.
I agree with Warren, if the sub-niches are relevant. It could only boost what you already have, I am thinking. I am sure you will get some amazing feedback from the pros though.
They can boost the existing website and get ranked for their keywords faster. But a new website will be more niche-focused.

Should I build a new website or not?

Hey Elias,
Of those "sub niches" you are referring to can be described as categories from inside your present tech site that is already providing you with a steady monthly income, then I recommend using those "sub niches" within the same site, under a relevant category.
Hope you find this helpful.

We are in the business of content so we must write. The last months I write at least one article per day. It's about 1000-2000 per day and some days I write even more.
So
I try and release every two days and average 2500 to 3500 words. Produt revierws are generally a bit less at about 1.5k and take a day to write and publish.
This is sometihng I have been thinking about a lot as in whether I should be trying to reduce the word counts as I seem to be able to build words quickly...
I set myseof the goal of 17 posts and 40000 words for the first month of the SAC and hit it well. Have set the same for the second month.
Hi LLias,
Good question.
I'm about 2 1/2 days to complete and publish an article. I've been consistent on that.
My total average words are around 2800 with around 53,000 words.
I have a new website and in the SAC.
Monica
A minimum of 1000 a day, 7 days a week, for today I am at 2174, I try to post 5 blogs per week, but sometimes I need more days for one blog. For May I have published in total 23 blogs on 2 websites, I am now working on the 3rd website, a blog with 22 pages (for now, can become more)
Thank you, success! I want to have the most original images, that's where I often go wrong, it cost me a lot of time, but I like it too much to create awesome visuals:)
OMG Loes,
You're amazing! I love your energy. Sadly I dropped my dive site temporarily to be involved in the SAC again. It's a lot better now that I understand a lot more.
Keep up the good work.
Monica
I did the same - my original site is 'drifting' at the moment - I trry and do one post a week but don't always get that as am focusing on the SAC as well.
Hope it is going well for you Monica.
Paul
I do a minimum of 1k per day. I follow Stephen King's advice to write at least the minimum every day plus read that much from other writers each and every day to get better.
Some days I write 15k some I write 3k. It just depends on what I have researched beforehand and whether or not I am writing with personal experiences or need to find somebody who has written from personal experience.
it's easier than you think especially if all you are doing is responding to questions and relating a story to each.

Quick question: how much do you write?

Hi guys, I received an email today from someone who was asking to publish a guest post on my site.
His site has a 77 domain authority and I was thinking to ask him for
Couple things to keep in mind.
1. Does their topic fit your site?
2. What kind of links do they want to include in the post? Just a backlink or links to a product? Do those links make sense for your site?
3. If you do an article on their site and they do one on your site, be sure to disclose this as the FTC considers it a form of compensation.
I contacted him again and we agreed on the topic that he will write to my site.
I added him as a contributor and I will review his article. If everything is fine, I will publish it. If it does not add value to my site I will not accept it.
Thanks for the advice.
It is a good idea but you have to be careful as there are a lot of scammers about.
Normally no money changes hands as its reciprocal
(you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours arrangement)
He has a professional website with good articles. I will reply to publish an article on his site also.
Thanks!

I uploaded my first video on YouTube earlier and after some hours they removed it for violating their terms. Any help is welcome.
This is one aspect of YouTube that sucks hugely.
You're told that it "violates policy" and can appeal the deletion / strike but there is not enough space to write more than half a sentence. Furthermore, there is nobody you can contact for information.
This is nothing more than a trial by silence (and we know how they sucked), but at least you get to say more than half a sentence in those.
When you appeal, nothing happens other the "appeal rejected" status update.
I have my theories as to why they don't treat creators decently, ranging from "we're google, so screw you", through "we don't have the resources" (yeah, right!), to "we don't want people knowing too much, so they don't try and go right up to the boundaries and work the system"
Even Micro$oft, for all their flaws, understands the importance of developers. Video creators are the YT equivalent. It's not a coincidence that other competition sites are doing well.
I hope you sort it out.
I feel your pain.
This happened almost a month ago. Here is what happened next:
I did not appeal but I created a second video about the same topic. They removed the second video also and I decided to appeal.
I wrote them "I have no idea why you have removed my video. I am not a spammer".
I checked my Youtube channel one hour later and the video was there without any other response. I could not believe it.
The next days, I created two more videos and they have not removed any of them. Everything works fine until now.
Read YouTube's terms and you may be able to see what you did that was in violation.
Amongst other things, breaches of copyright are a no-no. That includes music, images etc. that you don't own the copyright to.
Thanks for answering, they sent me an email that says that my main purpose was to drive people off of Youtube.
I have no idea what I did wrong. I followed Jay's instructions from the webinar promoting with Youtube. Anyway, I will try again with a different video.

If you have a lot of graphics than tumblr. Also, if you are familiar with tumblr and think that it would be good for your site then go for it. Maybe it might not work out but it just might :) I would at least try it if I were you since you want to use it
Hope this helps :)

Thanks for the quick answer Marlinda. No, I am not familiar. I had read a post about Tumblr and I thought that it was a good idea to try it. I may need to focus on something else.
