I used Ezoic on my recipe blog for almost two years. For a while, it worked fine. My RPM hovered around $10–$12, sometimes a bit higher during good months.
But recently, things started to dip.
Traffic was steady. Content was going out regularly. The site was fast. Still… my RPM was dropping. Some days it was barely $6 or $7. I gave it time, tried a few optimizations, but nothing changed.
That’s when I knew it was time for a change.
Trying Out Journey by Mediavine
I’d been hearing about Journey and decided to finally make the switch. Setup was simple, and I liked the dashboard right away.
But what really shocked me was how fast the RPM picked up.
-
First month: $14
-
Second month: $18
-
Then… two full months in, I hit $24 RPM
No viral traffic. No magic tricks. Just better results for the same kind of content.
So What Changed?
Yes, Journey made a difference. But honestly? There was something else that helped even more.
Before, I was doing everything manually: writing recipes, formatting posts, uploading images, adding SEO tags.
Now? That’s all automated.
The Secret I Kept Until Now…
I didn’t go with Jasper or some overhyped tool everyone’s pushing.
Instead, I started using a tool that’s not well-known—yet super powerful.
It’s called LinkFlows.
This tool literally changed the way I run my blog. It lets me:
-
Auto-generate full blog posts, SEO-optimized and written in a clean, human style
-
Add structured recipe cards automatically (perfect for Google and Pinterest)
-
Schedule and publish posts across my blog and social media
-
Optimize everything for better reach and performance
I spend less time, get better content, and my earnings shot up.
Final Thoughts
If you’re stuck watching your RPM go down, ask yourself:
Is it really your ad network… or is it how you’re creating and publishing your content?
For me, the winning combo was:
✅ Switching to Journey
✅ Using LinkFlows to automate and level up my content
That’s how I reached $24 RPM in just two months—and I’m only getting started.
