From Google Penalty to 1 Million Visitors a Month

Today, I'm excited to share the story of someone that was able to not only recover from a devastating Google penalty, but was able to recover and thrive with their website.

Getting hit with a Google update and seeing 80% of your traffic tank is not a good day.

Luke Jordan had this devastating experience, but didn't give up. He set in motion a radical plan to revamp his entire website from design, to removing content, updating content, and so much more.

The results?

He was able to quickly grow his site to over 1 million visitors a month and $42,000 in revenue!

Check out the full story of Luke Jordan and his site recovery success here

Some of the other topics discussed during the interview include:

  • Link building and the link building campaigns he chose to do on his website
  • The decisions made to make his website grow
  • Ad revenue vs. affiliate income for his website
  • The question to ask yourself to determine if the website is doing things correctly
  • Evaluating content
  • Targeting Keywords
  • Content creation
  • Expenses
  • His thoughts on selling the website

Overall, it's an incredible story and one that I think you will enjoy.

How Does DuckDuckGo Make Money...and How Much Money Do They Make?

The story of DuckDuckGo is a fascinating underdog story when you consider how massive Google is.

While Google gets roughly 91% of all the search queries in the world, a small 2.6% of the US search traffic may not seem like much.

However, DuckDuckGo has seen remarkable growth and now regularly gets over 100 million queries PER DAY!

But do they make any money?

Check out this article for a deep dive into DuckDuckGo's history, growth, and revenue.
