January 2020 Update My Stats Are In!
Here is my latest stats for January. I had a total of 6 conversions in January coming from various sources.
I noticed that my blog rankings have been taking a dip. I am not exactly sure what is going on, but fortunately since I have onboarded my website to an SEO agency they will be looking into it and fixing all the issues on my site over the next few weeks.
As you can see there is a lot of technical factors on my site that can be improved. Generally speaking, once the majority of the issues have been cleared up, Google will recognize them, and will start ranking me higher again.
But on a positive note, my YouTube Views grew substantially compared to December. That is the good thing about diversifying your marketing assets, and diversifying your income source, that way if one of them takes a hit, it'll be a bummer, but not catastrophic.
A Special Announcement
Yesterday I challenged StPaul, one of the bloggers on here who is totally rocking it, with his blog, and here at Wealthy Affiliate. The challenge was to see who could beat the other with Wealthy Affiliate commissions this year. He definitely accepted the challenge!
The winner will get to be a featured blogger on the others blog, and will reveal their secrets about what it took to win!
We have definitely have different approaches to Internet Marketing, experiences, and different marketing assets developed, so it'll be very interesting to see who pulls ahead!
Who do you think will win?

What a fun idea with the challenge. I have known Stpaul for a while, so I think you picked an incredible, great member to participate.
I hope both of you are very successful and end up in a tie.
Haha, yeah I don't know who will win, or happen. I have no idea. I have a lot more marketing tactics, that I've learned over the years, that I have yet to roll out.

Nice work on the results!
You can, however, save yourself a few bucks fixing the SEO mistakes yourself, like I did. :P But it takes time.
My pointers:
** Use Yoast, it'll put you in a stronger position by pinpointing content/seo mistakes.
Also use Yoast to help interlink all your posts/pages.
** Make sure all your images have "alt tags", but without keyword stuffing.
No alt tags will affect your rankings and domain/page authority.
** Add the "no follow" tribute to your affiliate links. Cut down on links if you have too.
Again, too many links affect rankings.
** Reduce huge image file sizes if needs be.
** Check for broken links/404s across your entire site (including comments).
And if that still doesn't work, check for and discard any harmful backlinks pointing to your site using monitorbacklinks.com or something.
Failing that, use an SEO agency lol.
May be the best man win the WAllenge!
I'll see what they complete in a couple weeks and then go from there. Thank you for the suggestions!
No probs, man!
