Built and wrote a niche affiliate content site from the ground up, handling content strategy, on-page SEO, technical SEO, and monetisation entirely solo.
Traffic growth: scaled from zero to a peak of 150K pageviews/mo in about 12 months, reaching 408K total pageviews and 290K+ entrances over two years of tracked growth. Google Search Console: 5.23K clicks/mo peak from 466K impressions, including a month of 58% month-over-month click growth. SEMrush: 3.8K ranking keywords, with a steady month-over-month climb in top 3 and top 10 positions.
Monetisation: Amazon Associates generated $4,945 in commissions in a single year from 39,413 affiliate clicks and 4,478 ordered items, an 11.36% conversion rate. Display advertising through Ezoic added a further $1,679 over the shown period at a $6.70 EPMV.
Full ownership across the stack: keyword research, content outlines, meta tags and schema, internal linking, technical SEO (WordPress, Screaming Frog, page speed), and ad/affiliate monetisation setup.
