Background
GmundCars.com was a legacy blog site with strong traffic but terrible monetization and a Google search penalty. My goal was to unlock its trapped value.
Execution
- Audited site monetization and added affiliate offers to high-traffic pages
- Optomized the CTR for low-paying Amazon links and added higher-commission alternatives
- Used in-house AI tools and Google Analytics to optimize CTR and conversions
Outcome
Within 6 months, revenue increased from $50/month to $300/month without increasing traffic. Manual penalty removal is in progress, with future traffic gains expected.
