How do you find out what caused your site to be hit by a Google update?

Well unfortunately, it's never exactly clear and usually requires a fair amount of testing and tweaking things in the hopes that traffic corrects itself with the next update.

For our guest interview today on Niche Pursuits this was almost the end of his blogging career.

Dan Jackson worked full-time in the animal care industry and decided to buy a site with some partners in 2019 and work on it part-time.

They set out with a goal to have 2000 articles live on the site and reached it in early 2022.

Traffic and earnings peaked at nearly $6,000 a month before they got battered by a Google update that dropped their traffic and earnings by 75%!

This was incredibly discouraging and could have been the end.

Luckily, Dan found a second wind.

He took inspiration and decided to 'do all the things' to recover their traffic and earnings.

Now Dan's site is recovering and averaging $4k per month!

And today, he discusses what changes he made, what all the things means in his case, plus:

  • Who Ella is and why she's important
  • How he acquired the website
  • His initial website growth strategy
  • What happened when he got hit by the update
  • The steps he took to revive his website
  • His current earnings
  • Where his income is coming from
  • His views on topical authority
  • How he approaches SEO
  • How he views link building
  • His email list strategies
  • The content creation process he follows
  • His favorite resources and tools
  • The biggest challenge he's faced
  • His most important accomplishment
  • His main mistake to date
  • The advice he would give to other entrepreneurs

This is a cool success story not only because of the helpful tips from what he did to recover - but also because it highlights the ups and downs of being a site owner solely reliant on Google.
