🚨Introducing, Display Ad Daily (a free resource on NicheTwins . com)🚨 What: This report shows sites that were recently added to the Mediavine and Raptive Ad Networks. Report runs and is updated every 24 hours. How: The report relies on publicly available data from Mediavine and Raptive sellers.json files. Why: Google's search algorithm is changing all the time. Being able to analyze sites that are winning TODAY is invaluable. (The unfortunate reality is that even sites added 6-12 months ago are possibly less interesting as Google algo updates have reduced their traffic to zero. You really need near real time insights for it to be potentially worthwhile) Mediavine and Raptive have significant traffic requirements (50,000 monthly sessions, and 100,000 pageviews, respectively) that need to hit in order to be accepted onto their platform. So in many cases sites that have recently been added to these networks have just passed these required traffic milestones. Therefore, these are sites that Google is rewarding right now. You can gain valuable insights by analyzing sites that are winning today - insights that just might influence your own content/SEO strategy and execution. Google's search algorithm is constantly changing. Timelines is everything. Also - I just like to geek out about this stuff. It is fun looking at sites that just recently got added to these elite display ad networks - plugging them into Keysearch to dig deeper and observe what's working. I was doing this all with a few janky Python scripts that I ran directly in my terminal before 😂 Now it's just automated and available to you. I understand that this will likely make a few folks upset. I likely can't change that but just a few thoughts on the matter: In the past, I've openly questioned tools that "expose" other niche sites, blogs, content sites, whatever you want to call them. However my opinion on this topic has changed a lot over the past year or so. I first started blogging in 2020. I didn't know much then, but I was told by others that I shouldn't share my URL - so I kept it private. 1. I later learned that this is all public data. Nearly every single website on Mediavine and Raptive are already available to the public via the respective Ad Network's seller.json file. 2. If you don't want your name and domain listed in the sellers.json file, just ask Mediavine or Raptive to change it. Many do. 3. Several tools already do this (and much more) and were launched on this very platform. Those tools cost 200-300 bucks and allow you to filter on niche, DR, traffic etc. This is free, and just shares the domain. 4. Several newsletters in the space already share interesting sites that are winning today. 5. If you plan on "winning" at all with your niche site, prepare to have your site, and its content stolen. That is ALWAYS the unavoidable risk. "Winning" means ranking high in Google. And ranking high in Google means added visibility. Added visibility leads to theft - almost always (in one form or another). At its peak my first site was getting 800k+ pageviews a month. My content was stolen nearly every single day. It sucked. But it's part of the game. You can't avoid it - whether you "share" your domain, or not. 6. Which brings me to my final point - every single keyword research tool out there is built around hunting your domain and your keywords. It's just how it works. You can block these tools from crawling your site if you feel strongly about not showing up in them. My hope is that folks will use this tool to examine the sites that are winning, and look to potentially implement similar strategies on their own sites. Hopefully you'll be seeing StayNewEngland, Niche Twins and StartUpStumbles included in this report soon!
