Banned from Paid Ads Leads to $3 Million From SEO...

Imagine making millions of dollars selling something you're passionate about.

That's what our guest on the Niche Pursuits Podcast this week does.

His name is John Murphy. And he went from a dispassionate office worker in the finance industry to an eBike eCommerce store owner.

But getting to his level of success has not been easy.

He's had to overcome countless setbacks and challenges.

From almost dying the day his site launched. To later having both his Google and Facebook ad accounts banned in the same week.

But he's joining us here today to share how he managed to get through to the other side a much richer man.

He shares great tips for eCommerce SEO, how Niche Pursuits content helped him along the way, and a whole lot more to help you in your journey including:

  • The specific content strategy used
  • The importance of a strategic internal linking process
  • Creating good funnels
  • The time it took to get regular sales
  • UX and UI
  • Losing all his traffic overnight and how he bounced back
  • What to write about
  • How the pandemic affected the website
  • Topical cluster content
  • Focusing on one market
  • The content he avoids
  • His backlink process and strategies

Remember, there is a difference between eCommerce and regular blog SEO.

And you'll learn all about it in John Murphy's Niche Pursuits interview.
