My Abandoned Blog Ranking 4th For A Major Keyword. Should I Return? by kelvinnaira: 8:49pm On Aug 06, 2016
Hello everyone.. I have been into the blogosphere for some time now, but many of you won't know me because I have been Doing freelancing and consulting all these while.. (Ghost Blogger)..

For some who might have come across some of my comments here on NL, you can rate me by them, and for other whom may have read my blog post, you can equally testify..

I am Posting this thread to seek your opinion and advice.. (Everyone needs ideas from others as no man is an island)..

So, 4months ago, I decided to start a new project for myself to test if my skills still works or if its outdated, since I have spent most of my time helping others grow there business (just wanted to see if I can equally grow mine)..

I bought a new domain and registered it, bought hosting from Bluehost and Started a Blog in the lifestyle niches..

Initially, I wanted to build the site to an authority status and grow it to 4 - 5figures/month via adsense, so, instead of targerting one small niche, I targeted a market.(The authority model) and then started from a niche (category).

I created my WP blog, used a very simple design (Genesis framework eleven 40pro theme), added some contents, optimised the blog, built some strong links to it with the hope of starting a new project that will again fetch me 4-5figures monthly from adsense (since am very good with that)..

Just while I was about diving in to that blog, I got so many clients calling again.. I abandoned the blog and started to help other businesses again grow and plan..

Today, I just visited the site and discovered its traffic pull.. I took the popular posts and searched them on google.. Hmm.. I was already on google FP for those keywords.. One of which is "targeting methods used in bowling"..

If you google that keyword, u ll see a site like http://Nail24hours.com on the 4th position of google, that's mine.. ( I havnt done any more work on that blog since the day I published those articles and just did some really basic SEO) not even monetised the blog yet.. (Yes, it has so many potential to grow)

I know I can rank #1 for most related and main keyord if I want to..

My Question is this, should I Just return back and grow the blog to 4-5figures ($1000 - $10,000) monthly or just continue doing my consulting business + helping others grow?

PS: this is not the 1st blog am abandoning.. Bt I have decided to just return back to 1 and that's http://mytechboard.com hosted on blogger cause I felt the need to document all of my activities as relating blogging and SEO.

what is the monthly search for your keyword and what type of links did you build to your site?
Re: My Abandoned Blog Ranking 4th For A Major Keyword. Should I Return? by javijabor1(m): 9:31am On Aug 07, 2016
I'll tell you what I think as a blogger myself.
1. That keyword does not pull much traffic. Neither is it competitive hence the ranking for that keyword.
2. Bowling keywords do not have good cpc from my findings.
3. You are a good writer
4. You should grow the blog and also continue your consulting work. You might regret leaving one for another.

I understand what u re talking about very well..

Bowling niche is competitive.. U re dealing with sharks like USBC and others..

For the CPC.. I don't concern myself about that, you see, an authority site is not built on CPC.. I mean to grow an adsense site to 4figures, u don't look at CPC.. U only look at CPC when you want to throw a tiny site to make $100/month..
Outside adsense, the bowling niche is best monetised via affiliate, digital products and membership coaching.. Adsense is an added advantage..

And don't forget, I am not ending there.. I will further extend to, knitting, tennis, pottery, etc...

Thanks for the advice.. This is the first advice am getting since this thread was created..

the thing is, school gists blogs dont get the kind of traction other niches get..

A quick view to the blog showed u re already posting android and mtn tutorials... The thing is, school news blogs dont have income potential.. I mean, who are you selling to? What re u selling? Can u even sell?

All what these audiences does is just type on google "has imsu started selling post ume form?" once they get the news, they zoom off.. Bounce rate is high..

I wont want to go into much details here.. Bt i will like to invite you to my free crash course on "how to start a blog and make money" all niches will be covered + how to knw d profitability of it...
