Hey everyone,

I've been running my website exclusively on AdSense so far. Revenue is acceptable and currently covers my hosting costs, so I'm considering trying Mediavine Journey.

The thing is, my traffic is unfortunately not Tier 1. Only around 3–4% of my traffic comes from Tier 1 countries. The vast majority is from African countries. Google has apparently decided that my website belongs to Africa now, to the point that I had to restructure and rewrite quite a lot of my content to better serve that audience.

I'm currently getting around 40–50k visits/month, and I've already been accepted into Mediavine Journey, but I haven't started the onboarding process yet.

So I'm wondering:

• Is Journey likely to be worthwhile with this kind of traffic profile?
• Has anyone here had experience with Mediavine/Journey with a predominantly African audience?
• How did your RPM compare with AdSense?

I'm mainly trying to figure out whether the potential revenue increase is worth the switch, given that most of my audience isn't from Tier 1 countries.

Any real-world experience with African traffic (or similar countries like India, Pakistan, China...) would be especially useful.

Hi all, I'm selling my (very) old personal League of Legends account on EUW.

The account was created around Season 4, back in the days of Fnatic and xPeke's famous backdoor, and has been around for many years. I've stopped playing multiple times over the years (life gets in the way sometimes). Since around Season 9, I've mainly used the account for ARAM, and I haven't played ranked for around 3–4 years — I mostly play for fun and prefer to avoid the stress of ranked.

Account details:

• Region: EUW
• Created: Season 4
• All champions unlocked
• Dozens of skins, including Leona, Jinx, Malphite, Mordekaiser, Jax, Miss Fortune, Ashe, Darius, Lux, Morgana, etc.
• Various wards skins
• Various emotes
• No ranked activity in the last 3–4 years

I'm selling because I simply can't play League anymore due to time and responsibilities.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested. I can provide additional account details and screenshots through DM.

Hi everyone,

I recently sold a small software tool to a well-known company (I'll call it Company A). It was a simple but useful tool that reduced the number of clicks, made the workflow faster, and was completely free to use. It wasn't the #1 result on search engines, but it usually ranked between 2nd and 5th depending on the country.

The company contacted me by email to ask if I'd be interested in selling it. Since it was just a side project and didn't generate much income, I agreed. I turned down their initial offer, and after some negotiation we settled on a price we were both happy with.

Now they're sending me a bank transfer in euros (a four-digit amount, close to five digits), and I'm wondering what to expect with banks Tunisia.

Has anyone here received a similar international bank transfer? Was it straightforward, or did the bank ask for additional documents or create any administrative hassle? How much the procedure takes, in terms of time ? Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

I’ve got a site pulling over 10K visits a day, over 300K unique users a month, and well over a million pageviews. People don’t just land and bounce either (average time on site is over 2 minutes). That’s not “quick click and out.” That’s people actually sticking around, reading, scrolling, engaging.

And the content isn’t anything sketchy. No gambling, no adult stuff, nothing borderline at all. It’s clean, useful, informational content that people are clearly interested in.

But somehow, I still get hit with the same rejection: “low quality content.”

And that’s the part that doesn’t add up anymore.

Because if real users are showing up in those numbers and actually spending time on the site, what exactly is the system looking at that says the opposite? Feels like it’s judging something completely different from what users are actually doing. Almost like it’s running on signals that don’t line up with real behavior at all.

What makes it more confusing is the disconnect. People clearly like the site. They search it, click through, stay, come back. But the system still goes, “yeah… not good enough.”

At some point you start questioning what “quality” even means in that review process. Is it content structure? SEO formatting? Some internal checklist nobody outside can see? Or just a black box decision that overrides everything else?

Because from where I’m standing, it doesn’t feel like it’s looking at whether people actually value the content. It feels like it’s judging it on something else entirely, even when the real-world numbers say otherwise.

And honestly, that gap between what users do and what the system decides is the part that’s hardest to understand.
