Which CMS do you use?
I got rejected from Ezoic
Sorry to hear that.
so you run both ads network in same time adsense and mediavine ???
Brother, I want to ask you about my site. It is accepted in Journey by Mediavine, as I have 12,000 page views and 6,000 sessions, but the impressions are only 2 and the cpm is 0.10. I did not understand that the impressions do not compare with the page views. Is there an explanation, knowing that my site has been accepted for 14 days?

what are you using to write your articles?
90% of articles on my sites are written by me, manually. Lately I've been using AI to speed up the process, but again in a very restricted way.

How is the rpm now with Journey? I'm 20 days in with journey but my rpm is around $5 for the last 30 days, and around $8.5 for the past 7 days. It seems awfully low when I hear about all of these other people getting $25+ rpm's.
Hi, my RPM for the past 30 days is around $24 for both of my sites. That's pageview RPM. Session RPM is around $30 for the gardening website and $28 for the automotive website. It depends on how much traffic you get. If you don't get a lot of traffic, Journey needs much more time to optimize ads on your site. It should improve with time.
@@petardz I see, so I guess it's because of my low traffic levels then. I only have a little over 5k pv's at the moment.
Even after the site got approval from the mediavine journey platform on October 29, today is November 7, ads are not showing on my site. When I open my site from PC or smartphone, instead of ads, I only see the promotional banner of mediavine journey in the middle of the content, whereas other ads should be visible in the content.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, this is very helpful.
I had also thought that I would get the best of both worlds with the mediation service - oh yes, if Google bids more for an ad, then they show that instead. But your point about the ads loading slowly means that it doesn't matter who serves the ad, if it's never shown.
The biggest frustration was the 520 errors which no-one could explain. I thought they related to Cloudflare but I still got them even when I switched this off. They kept blaming my host, which was rubbish.
Hey Petar Dzaja, thanks for sharing! I have a question: Does Mediavine accept 5,000 page views in the last 28 days? 90% traffic from google search (USA, Uk, Aus etc) & 10% from bing.
My website traffic suddenly decrease after 18 hours of running journey by mediavine . Is it okay?? My top article position went down in SERPs
@@Aesthetics1886 it should not happen. Maybe its just coincidence but check your website page speed and if everything works fine.
As this video is about one year old, what do you think about the chair now? Is it still in good condition? Does it make any news?
Hi mate. To be honest, I expected to have at least some small signs of wear and tear by now, but it's still in "like-new" condition. So, I can confirm that it's really a good chair for the money, especially in the USA because you can get it for so much cheaper there.
@@petardz Thanks, btw. I'm from Austria ;)
What if most of my traffics is from tier 3 country, i.e African country, can I still be accepted by journey by mediavine
Honestly, I don't know. Officially, they accept traffic from all countries, but I know a few people that got refused and they didn't have a lot of traffic from tier 1 countries.
No you won't. They rejected my Nigerian site with over 100,000 monthly unique views. Aim for tier 1 countries.
Thanks for the transparency. Do you have a update for the previous and currently month?
Hi, thanks for your comment. I might create a video about it soon if I catch some time. RPMs are even better :D
Hey Petar Dzaja, I'm planning to start a blog but I’m a bit confused about whether to generate content using AI or take another approach. Can you share some tips or advice that could help me make a better decision? I also have over 200 Pinterest accounts that I can use to drive traffic. If I start blogging today, how long it will take for my site to get approved by Journey By Mediavine. Please answer in detail; I'm eagerly waiting for your response. Thanks 💞
Was about to buy that chair after seeing the BTOD video like you did and thanks for sharing the recommendation !
Hey, can we use ai images on website or will we get banned?
To be honest, I don't know. More and more people are getting banned from Mediavine due to the overuse of AI content. But we still don't know what is overuse. IMHO, it's just low-quality and unedited content, but we'll see what will happen in the near future.
Ya, I was with ezoic for a while but I too am looking to leave. Primary reason Origin Errors. No other ad network I know requires one to change nameservers. This makes it very difficult for a website owner to change from Ezoic unless they are willing to take the down time associated with DNS propagation. My new project personally cannot have such downtime and constant origin errors as you've mentioned will for certain turn off users thereby destroying what I am working so hard to build. Origin errors and nameservers all to get a rather low rpm even when the site is jacked with ads and looks spammy and horrible just does not add up... I truly believe better RPMs can be attained through adsense with less clutter and fewer ad units if even... for me it is less to do with the RPM and more to do with the quality and consistency. Downtime is a complete turn off and in my experience with ezoic in the past 3 years, their Origin Errors are a BIG issue. Nameservers, IP whitelists blah blah, when Adsense uses a code snippet. Not to mention Adsense's recent move to CPM making them alot more attractive when it comes to predictable numbers based on predictable traffic patterns. Thanks for your video. ❤
Did you remove your ads before applying to Journey? I'm currently using Ezoic but have applied to Journey.
Thanks for being honest not exagerated numbers
Thank you for the information!
I also applied for journey but it's been 3 months no reply. Let me know that it is essential for website having only usa uk Australia views to join mediavine and what if in one month during application my site gain 10k sessions from uk usa Australia and in next month less sessions so does it impact your website approval for journey?
I'm sorry that you're still waiting. However, I can't tell you anything with certainty because I'm still new at Journey, and actually no one still knows what exactly are they looking at. I suppose they prefer traffic from richer countries such as US, UK, Australia, Canada... My both accepted sites didn't have 10k sessions, but traffic is from rich countries.. p.s. 3 months seems a lot of waiting, but you have nothing to lose. Hopefully you have adsense or some other ad network enabled while you wait.
It took me 5months to get accepted
hi bro I encountered an issue when trying to add a script or plugin. I'm getting the following error: "We're Having Trouble Seeing Your Script.
@@diy2074 its probably caching issue. Delete all cache from your site, ideally from cpanel. For me, the problem was hosting that mostly blocked mediavine bots. Today i added new site, and since i switched hosting, they found my script 30sec after adding it to the website.
Can you tell me how i remove the ezoic ads code from my website to place the journey by mediavine ads script.
What hosting are you with now?
I'm now with Interserver web hosting. I've picked their "BOOST 2" web hosting, which is shared but works great for me, especially considering the price.
@@petardz thank you
@@petardz can you disclose why you choose it specifically. My blog is a few months old but in already experiencing issues with blue host. Most videos I watch have theirs with site ground and hostinger....etc. I do want something that is affordable and trustworthy
@@TrimatizeBeauty, I have already been using their hosting while I was on Ezoic Ad Network. Then, there were constant issues, which I thought was Interserver. Then I switched back to the original Wealthy Affiliate hosting, only to realize that the real guilty one was Ezoic, haha. Now, Wealthy Affiliate has started making me have problems with Journey by Mediavine, so I switched back to Interserver again, and I'm more than happy. Support is good; they help you with migration and everything, and hosting is considerably speed for its price, I also didn't have any problems with servers being down, which I know can happen on Bluehost. Interserver isn't very popular because they don't invest in marketing a lot (unfortunately), but they're pretty great for the price.
@@petardz thank you for taking the time to answer this has been so helpful.. I am not too tech savy and I would need assistance from the customer at interserver....I read an online review from Forbes indicating that customer service isn't always available and I also read that they have a completely different service which need to be purchased apart to operate their CPanel...how has that been for you?.....im so invested at this point 😊
How long did you wait for ads to start showing on your site?
@@BlagojceKrivevski as soon as all the scripts are properly installed, ads will start showing within an hour or so.
@@petardzI was looking at my site while logged in, That's why I couldn't see the ads. First day with Journey. Looking forward for your updates 😃
@@petardzso you have a video to show this?
Thanks for the presentation. I'm in the same timeframe as Journey; let's see where this goes!
Will keep you guys updated ;)
I thought I had to wait 30 days for my website to be approved. The 30 days have just passed. When do you think they'll approve it?
Nobody knows exactly, and if they'll even accept you. I said in the video that I had to wait for two months before being accepted.
@@fulekipeter I waited almost 3 months
Keep updating every month earning report ❤
how tall are you? Do you think the backrest/headrest is high enough for someone tall?
@@JoshSmith-xm4gz im 1,8m tall, i think that if youre under 1,90 youre good. After that the headrest might be too low. Even with my height i need to pull it out a lot.
@@petardzthanks. I'm around 1.9m so think I'm right on the limit then
Love the honesty and overall approach!
Ezoic are now allowing advertisers to discriminate against content creators based on their ethnicity, gender, etc. The are allowing advertisers to specify DEI. Steer well clear. I'm moving my account
What do you think happened with the new june 2024 spam update. I believe google is back favoring large firms over small content creators. Good article content is not important, and possibly backlinks is back. Can you share your thoughts on this? With a new video.
Hi mate, thanks for your comment. To be honest, I didn't even research this last Google update because not a single update in the past 365 days have favored small content creator websites. I think brands will still lead the SERPs until Google realizes that their content isn't that quality.
@petardz I think google in their march update, possibly removed backlinks from their top 3 ranking factors or even top 10. I had a new website, and 50% of my content reached number one position, winning the snippets. All this in less than 4 months, this was not possible prior to the March 2024 update.Now, within one week, I lost all my snippets and 70% or so of my number one positions. I did quickly check what replaced my number ones, it's all large firms that were at the top of search with short, shallow content. The named it spam this new update is a distraction, and the main thing is reversing their 2024 March update harsh update on large players. Time will tell if what im saying is accurate.
Please my Adsense got approved under Ezoic mediation, if i stop the mediation and close my Ezoic account, will my Adsense that was approved under Ezoic mediation be closed too?
Your adsense account will not be closed, but you will probably have to set up ads on your website again. Didnt have that case so i am not 100% sure.
@@petardz do I still need to go through their review process again?
@@mikeeenyinnaya9 i think not. Once the website is accepted you thats it. You have your adsense account, if its active, youre fine.
@@petardzthis is really eating up my mind. the site toggle button that always shows in every AdSense account isn't visible in my own Adsense dashboard because it's Ezoic that's handling it so do it mean. Do it mean I still need to add my site manually again?
@@mikeeenyinnaya9 then yes yea. But if they reviewed it already for ezoic, it should go quickly.
very helpful video, thanks bro
The only problem i got with them was on name servers, i applied for their ads and they told me to change my name servers and i did so and then after i got rejected, so then i had to change my name servers back to to the default ones, yet during that process my website was not accessed in some areas, so thats the only thing but then i withdraw after got rejected
scam,after earning commission they did not pay. They hide my comments so no one can see them
Just a quick update: It's been two months since I disabled ads from my website, and still nothing has changed!
Same ... I am leaving google and starting my blogs at Bing
