I've had this too on my client's website just within a couple of weeks this month, however it's showing as Direct traffic NOT referral traffic mainly to the homepage with an average time on page of 1s and a 96% bounce rate. We can't figure out WHO is sending this JUNK to our website and how to stop it. What's weird about this is that there are NO server logs showing this junk traffic. Any ideas on how to address this issue?

Summer heat can be draining. Embrace the siesta 💤 30 mins can really make a difference.

Hi Alex, why not use the slow afternoon to your advantage and make that your focused productive time? This way you can still sleep in a bit but not give up on productivity.

Great video! Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts and experiences. It's refreshing to see how you handle productivity challenges. Your message about focusing on what you can do rather than what you can't is inspiring. Keep up the awesome content! 🙌 #StayMotivated

I have the same exact issue. But ... not giving up Alex. And I have no wife, no kids, and am a year older than you :)

Agree with you. Take care sir and do key doing these and letting us know how things are going and what you’re up to. Peace

I try to watch as many of your videos as possible. Thank you for your content. The thumbnail was a bit disturbing as I had an influencer friend get hit by a car riding his bicycle and his face is really damaged.

Hi Alex if you have any affiliate events that need online ticket sales or just need them on an online calendar then I am now involved in an online events calendar and ticketing website. If you are interested in this I could post the url of the website. You may not remember me from your live stream chat, but I was running the marchants home brew site, The All Fun and Dates website and Recreational Combat website.

Good video Alex

Love your vids, Alex. I’ve been working on my blog since Sept last year and was making good headway, got some traffic signs and big time impressions/clicks around February, then bam.. HCU. Now Google is wasteland, barely any impressions. And my reviews and 100% human and have proof of product use. Focusing on CZcams vids but just staying motivated to keep working. Your vids are always motivation and it’s great to hear the perspective. Keep goin! Loved Malaga/Marbella when I was there last year, you’re not too far.

Do you work alone? I often do and I really wish I didn’t so much. Even working in a coffee shop seems to make me more productive and I know why. I feel I’m being watched like I was in an office so I keep on working. Plus I feel like I’m part of something bigger so don’t feel quite so fuzzy headed and generally stick to working more. Ultimately I’ve learnt it means I need at least one working buddy. Someone to chat with while i work. Help me to take breaks and enjoy my working day. It’s hard to do that alone. I’d love to know your thoughts on this. Keep up the great work as always.

Hey Alex, I am currently just applying for my digital nomad visa and looking at moving to the south of Spain, with the Nerja area looking likely area; it would be great to see a video on your process if you're still enjoying being there and any tips you have before we move. Thanks

That thumbnail scared the freak out of me, Alex! 🤣 This video comes at the right time. I'm struggling with the same right now. Ambitious goals but not living up to them. But small steps add up and make a big difference over time. Keep up the good work!

I don't really pay much attention to Google anymore given it's practically nonexistent for my traffic. But it would be great if things did eventually shift around. I can't imagine Google will leave things as is given large number of complaints I see about Reddit being at the top of every search result

I posted a reasonsble ctiricism on a recent income school video. Ricky replied with some butt hurt comment. I responded with my income school story. The comment was deleted i assume because it was negative. Called him out on it and he flat out denied deleting my comment. Guy is in brand protection mode and the model now looks a bit like the crappy guru thing of "if you do well its thanks to the training and if you dont its because you did something wrong". I felt for him too, until I saw a shitty side to the guy.

Does your reviews on your products stay there with the newest flatsome theme ?

is the site in the green already or still in the red ?

This video is a real eye-opener. It shows why relying solely on Facebook can mislead your campaigns. I switched to DoYouMail a couple of months back and it is been fantastic! The ease of creating multiple email IDs for different campaigns is a game changer. Automatic SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration took away all my headaches. The delivery rates have been top-notch as well. Really, if you are tired of ads underperforming, give DoYouMail a shot.

Great insights in this video! For anyone struggling with fake conversions, cold email can be a game changer. I have been using FilterBounce for a while now and it is just amazing how it keeps the bounce rate under 1%. The real-time verification API saves me so much time. Seriously, I have not come across a more effective way to scrub my lists, especially with tricky domains. If you are in the game of cold emailing, you should definitely check out FilterBounce.

This is such an important topic! Fake conversions can truly cripple ROI. I started using FilterBounce about two months ago, and it is been fantastic for email vetting. Maintaining a bounce rate under 1% has been a breeze! It is precious for salvaging tricky domains. If you are venturing into cold emailing, you need this tool in your toolkit. Check it out without hesitation.

Crazy how many businesses get led astray by Facebook ads! Cold emailing has been my lifesaver. I started using DoYouMail a couple of months ago, and I cannot complain. Unlimited email sending is a huge plus. DNS configurations are handled automatically, so I do not need to sweat those details anymore. If you are serious about keeping your reputation intact, give DoYouMail a shot.

A must-watch for anyone relying on Facebook ads. The fake conversions are a trap. I started cold emailing through Mystrika three months ago and I cannot go back! The high-quality warmup pool got my emails into the inbox, which was a huge win for my campaigns. Plus, the community on Facebook has been super supportive. Seriously, check it out if you are looking to streamline your outreach.

This video really resonates with many businesses. Fake conversions on Facebook are so frustrating! I dived into cold emailing recently, and FilterBounce is what I turned to. The email verification process is so precise, and I love the fact that it is affordable. With plans starting at $10 and 300 free verifications a month, it is worth every penny. Do not sleep on this tool if you are serious about cleaning your lists.

The reality of fake conversions hits hard in this video. Cold emailing is a way forward. I cannot believe how much Mystrika has changed my approach! The comprehensive analytics keep me on track, and I love the automatic bounce detection. Honestly, the tag management feature makes organizing leads so easy. If you are looking to enhance your cold email strategy, Mystrika is definitely worth a shot.

You can edit the html width to “100%” if you want it to fill the screen size. Amazing tutorial 👏

Great work. I’ve always wondered about Facebook ads. But you also demonstrate how hoard and how much work it takes to be successful!

Hi Alex, I love to see that you are at it again. I've been following you for years. The site looks great and the effort you've put into it is evident. Once again I am following your journey as I did with BRB

I think you've done well in a short period of time. The merch is priced fairly, and adding it was a very good decision, so it's not a purely informational site. I also believe this project will do very well with time. Keep us posted.

Site looks great, Alex! Which POD provider are you using? I've had good results with Printful on some of my sites.

Well done Just wondering, is there any chance you could drop Shaun Marrs a text and get him on for a chat to let us all know how he's doing? He seems to have disappeared completely from the industry

How do you get it on your own hosting?

Hi Alex, your building this site and showing your process is really helpful. I'm in the early stages of building a city/tourist destination site as well. Could you please do a video on your directory section - covering how you're creating the pages, monetization, and future plans? I'm considering incorporating directory into my site but undecided whether to have the listings as a subscription or just offer them for free to local businesses. Are local businesses willing to paying for a listing? Seems like a lot of time/work and it might be difficult to maintain with small businesses opening and closing. Thanks!

Great update, Alex! 🌟 Love seeing your progress with Estona Dolie. The detailed insights on traffic, content, and social media are super helpful. Keep up the amazing work!

I'm not sure you're correct. I recently tested the new beta layout of CZcams and the description is still there, it's just been moved to the right hand side of the video (which the screenshot doesn't show.)

Alex you’re going to get yourself in trouble going around taking photos of playgrounds 😂

hi alex need thumbnail designer at cheap rates?

What wordpress theme do you use? It looks nice and it's not slow. I also see that you installed some plugins. How come it doesn't affect the loading speed? Thanks, you're a genius.

this is some good stuff. you really inspire me.

flyinpress is missing and WPRocket

Geez why don’t they just push Premium more? I have it and love not seeing ads, and creators still get their cut. What’s frustrating is I’m still learning how to create on CZcams and now anticipating the rules changing 😅

I love the way the sites looking. It takes time to build up a long term and authentic business and its starting to take shape!

I love the patterns you guys created. They should be available as a plugin or something. I would pay for those. I like those. One of my websites is done with Bricks Builder and I would love to add the patterns you created to my blog posts. The other site will be build with Popcorn Theme.

Great video Alex. Just don't give up. It is growing and it's only just 1 month out, right? Also keep in mind you're used to worldwide traffic, while Estepona is a very specific topic. So maybe the audience isn't huge.

Alex, you should sell yourt items on Fourthwall as you do not need to pay VAT. They act as your reseller and they print and ship them. You are a designer and they give you your profit minus their percentage and minus the payment processor fees. The rest is yours and all you have to do is pay your income taxes. Same goes for Payhip shops. I sell digital items via payhip as I think the linking to my site is better. Also they will open their market place end of July.

Alex, I love your website. It makes me want to hop on a plane and visit Estepona. Ugh, I just published my website about cats and it is slow. I still work full-time and I am all by myself, so I am currently writing content and creating digital downloadable products that I sell on Payhip. Next step is marketing I guess. Ugh, not sure how.

Greed, greed, and greed! All you talk about in this video is part of the game, right? That's why CZcams is the best video platform. But nothing lasts forever; one day we will use another platform. TikTok is proof of that!

Well done, Alex😊 You are proving one point. Unlike the AI arms race that SEO has become, developing a resource authentically takes time, but it also raises the barriers to entry as well... Hopefully, true motes you're creating for yourself...

Thanks bro for sharing
