SEO Experiment: Traffic vs Revenue

1. Low traffic volume → limited data to validate trends
2. Early-stage monetization → small revenue signals
3. Channel mix still evolving (Bing, AI, limited Google presence)

In this experiment, I integrated AdSense to connect traffic with real revenue.

While the amounts are small, the goal is to validate the concept, not the volume.

And something interesting:

Growth isn’t coming from Google, but from Bing + its ecosystem (including Copilot).

Key takeaways:

1. 56% of traffic comes from Bing vs 21% from Google
2. Yahoo (powered by Bing) adds another 15%
3. ChatGPT is already showing up as a traffic source
4. Revenue grew from ~$2.6 to $18.8 in January (+600%) after optimizing and publishing 2 landing pages

This experiment shows that growth doesn’t depend on a single channel, but on how different sources work together within a strategy, reducing reliance on the “big G” 😄
