I get it. Longtail SEO was kinda fun. All you had to do was figure out which search queries were underserved and then come up with a decent page that answered that query. I know I enjoyed it. Back in 2018-2020, I stumbled upon many such queries, which is why my sites did so well […]| Yeys.com

Back when Google was still a search engine that sent people to websites, we tried to figure out what our potential visitors were looking for. Then, we aimed to create the best possible content to meet that user intent. Finally, we would publish a post. And wait. For weeks, and sometimes even months, Google took […]| Yeys.com
A few days ago, I did something out of the ordinary. I took a day off to go sightseeing with friends. We reached the college campus in Normal, IL (yes, that’s actually a real place). A few students put up a stand there, with a large jar full of coins on display, and asked people […]| Yeys.com
A few weeks ago, I talked to a group of women in our town about AI. It was a group of women in their sixties, all college graduates and retirees, and we were doing this as part of a local charity drive. No one in the audience knew what AI actually was. While they had […]| Yeys.com
I love how varied and unpredictable this business can sometimes be. Of course, we’d all love it if everything were easy and predictable. But, alas, the world is complex, and it’s hard to tell what will work and what won’t. The results of an approach can change based on niche, specific audience, your own content […] The post The Simple Trick That Revived My Facebook Page appeared first on Yeys.com.| Yeys.com
Like many entrepreneurs, I’ve never been short of ideas. My ADHD brain is both a blessing and a curse in that respect (and a few others). You’d think having many ideas would be great, right? And it is, of course, except there’s a gap between coming up with an idea and actually making it work. […]| Yeys.com
Spring in Illinois is quite lovely. On weekends, my husband and I like to find local paths and trails and meander in the woods. My brain gets creative during these walks. We often end up talking about the business, which is actually quite motivating and helps us put things in perspective. During one of these […]| Yeys.com
I’m a web publisher at heart. What I enjoy the most is creating, publishing, promoting, and monetizing online content. It’s more fun for me than telling others to do that. For example, over the past few months, I rolled up my sleeves and dug into the Facebook mud to figure out how it worked. And […]| Yeys.com
The Web Publishers Association is happening! Before I continue rambling on, here’s the TL;DR version: Myself and a group of other industry veterans have established the Web Publishers Association as a nonprofit (status pending). Our goal is to unite content creators, bloggers, YouTubers, and influencers to advocate for our interests, provide valuable resources and networking […]| Yeys.com
Meta just announced that they’re about to start automatically labeling AI images. You can read their full announcement here. The following is my understanding and takeaways, and clearly not meant as advice, legal or otherwise. How Facebook is going to distinguish AI images from “real” photos They can’t do this using an algorithm. This shouldn’t […]| Yeys.com
If you’re building a long-term web publishing business, relying on a single traffic source can be dangerous. Many niche site publishers have focused on Google as a traffic source for years. That isn’t to say we were writing “for Google,” but that we used various strategies to try and find our audience among Google searchers. […]| Yeys.com
That’s a very big title there, I know. But I think it’s something web publishers need to address at this point. We should have been talking about this for quite a while now, but maybe the last Google update was the kick we needed. In this post, I’m going to show why niche websites are […]| Yeys.com
