Welcome to Month 9 of the LowFruits case study!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Before we get to this month's update, if you\u2019d like to learn more about my story, I did an interview for Niche Surfer<\/a> last month. Ironically, so did Paul from LowFruits<\/a>\u2014and we found out just a few days before the interviews got published!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine months passed by quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems like yesterday that I started Barbehow<\/em><\/a> and committed to publishing 6 articles every month based on keyword research in LowFruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait \u2014 wait a second\u2026 did you catch that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nope, that wasn\u2019t an accident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first month\u2019s case study<\/a>, I promised I\u2019d unveil the website at the nine-month mark, so here it goes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? In November, I launched a BBQ blog called <\/strong>Barbehow<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know you\u2019re curious, so go check it out; I\u2019ll be here when you return to the tab \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All done? Awesome! Because 106 posts and $4,787.76 worth of content later, I\u2019ve got exciting news to share: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Website Is Finally Monetized!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The website now gets more than 10,000 page views per month, so I felt I was in a good position to monetize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I submitted it to Ezoic (I am an Ezoic Certified Expert and Premium publisher) at the beginning of June. They accepted it in mid-June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

? The website has made its first $114.70 from 7,957 page views<\/strong> with an average ePMV (Earnings per Thousand Visitors) of $15.65. It\u2019s not bad since Ezoic\u2019s AI optimization hasn\u2019t kicked in yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I expect the highest ePMVs in November and December, especially around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. (People love to buy and gift grills and accessories.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team and I also started publishing affiliate posts<\/strong> in June (e.g., The Best X for Y). A few have already made it to page 1!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, remember my assumptions for December, and I'll keep you posted on affiliate earnings starting next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Keyword Research Approach This Far<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It's one thing to read about my keyword research and strategy, and another to see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So instead of talking about how <\/em>I find my keywords, I'm just going to show you the keywords<\/em><\/strong> on which I've already published content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


No matter the niche, these should give you seed keyword ideas you can use in LowFruits<\/a> (AKA my favorite keyword research tool).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keyword Traffic and Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I don't mind the low-volume keywords<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

34 of my 104 articles rank #1 to # 3 in Google SERPs, yet the site gets 11,000 views per month. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Is my keyword research approach helpful? Let me know in the comments!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The ranked pages<\/strong> get from 100-250 to 500-750 organic clicks<\/strong> from Google per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic from Bing and DuckDuckGo, especially for a BBQ website, is negligible (12-100 clicks per day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pages that haven\u2019t ranked yet are either: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. New articles less than 6-9 months old, or <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Articles that need attention (they may have missed the search intent)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    My website content plans and keyword research are plain and simple. The majority of my website content is informational <\/strong>posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
