That's good to hear, Lizzy, long may it carry on! I did see a post on Wealthy Affiliate where someone mentioned that that traffic had gone up considerably, in fact, by 800%! Maybe things are settling down?
I have been tested 2 things. I want to stress and stress again that I got knocked down the "helps" update, so all statistics are based on too few numbers (but I take all the green lights after walking in the desert for a long time). And I have not manage to check things if they are correct, it is based on feeling and statistic based on, again, little numbers and too short time. But it is not my season; it started normally when all was normal in the middle of January or before. Not a Christmas season. I see 2 positive things. A) I took a course in Pinterest, maybe useful but I think it was not as useful for me as other. But I started to use Tailwind again because of it and now that looks good. I had bad experience of it and haven´t been there in ca 4 years. Big positive effect from them even so I need to learn better. But most important can be the software I used 14 days trial of. It costs, and I will use it like I used Ahrefs before, taking month and month each 3-4 months, and working with it as much as possible on that time. They are very special, and I believe their owners, something I haven´t had much of. They guarantee that you will see success after 8-30 days, and it looks to be right! What they do is that they recommend posts to improve and have a good written text for questions, which you can paste in the text after a guide from them. Of course, you need to think, at least it happens that I disagree, but it is rare. I now have many more keywords, and traffic has started to rise, but I have no income. I am very worried about that! I don´t remember who let me know, maybe here. It is Rivalflow.
Too, I have been on course and watch a lot She knows. Was that you was talking about Lizz? And I has taken some things from her. For example I use much more of internal and external links that before but it need to be 100% for a reason to show where I got source or ideas.
So it is interesting but I wait to see if the feeling are right. I use too to color stress idea from Partha in the text, use it between images.

==> it isn't my season at all as well, at the moment, after and during Christmas , it usually goes down. Frankly, I'm just waiting at the moment for google to say something like "sorry, Lizzy, it was just a joke. We'll get you down to zero now, hahahaha
But then I see this in GA4 and I'm like 'what the heck is going on' lol!

==> I started using https://www.blogtopin.com/ as automation for Pinterest, it had some bugs as a start up, but it is getting better and better. I really recommend it and it is affordable to me, because I am using it for 2 websites at once.
I am being VERY CAREFULL THOUGH, as to not get shadowbanned on Pinterest! So start with 3 extra pins per day, for example, and then the next month, up that a bit. Their AI does it all for you, although it takes some time to figur things out at first, and using the right templates, some of them are a lot better then other templates.

==> I have never used an SEO tool like hrefs or semrush, I was hoping that Partha was going to write a nice course about Semrush, but won't be bothering him with that question anymore.
What I mostly do these days, is even have ChatGPT taking a look at Reddit, Facebook, Youtube and let it find the most FAQS on my niche, and then create an article for my blog or for my forum about it.
I just had a simple post on my forum that got a traffic jump from +400%! I am even considering just writing for my forum and not my actual blog (besides a few personal tutorials maybe, hahahahaha!

I see that you also have these bulbs in your traffic stats, I never had those before and its marked as 'anomaly detected', what does that even mean, Google? hahahaha?
Things are getting more confusing by the day, it will be interesting for sure in 2025!
I'd given up checking my GSC but just had a look and I'm seeing some significant changes after bouncing along the bottom for over a year!
Impressions are up 10 fold since December 19th / 20th and clicks are up too. Still very low level and nowhere near my pre-HCU numbers but this is encouraging ... especially seeing as I'd pretty much given up posting anything on the site (had consigned it to my retirement 'labour of love' project).
