Azoic has had a huge evolution since I've started
0:03
So many things have changed, moved places, and new features have been added
0:08
So in this video, what I want to do is go over the full dashboard and show you where everything is
0:13
This video is great for someone that's already on Azoic and just needs an update for the new look
0:17
or someone looking to join Azoic and get all these features that are included
0:22
It's a great platform because they give you a lot of tools for free just by using them
0:28
While something like Google Ads, doesn't really give you any cool features. The awesome thing is with azoic you can even
0:34
implement Google's ads sense inside of it and get revenue from both. I've done that in the
0:40
last video so you probably check that out on my Zoic tutorials which I'll have a link to the
0:45
full playlist at the end of this but for this one I just want to go through and show you how
0:49
everything is set up and where everything is explain what features are available
0:54
I am part of E3P's team with Ezoic so I am also an affiliate
0:59
If you are new to Azoic and you're interested in joining, make sure you check the link down below
1:04
There's no page views required and it'll really help me out. With that said, let's go and hit the computer so I can go through and break everything down for you
1:13
I also have timestamps down below if you want to go ahead and skip around if you know certain features already
1:23
Here we are on Azoic's main dashboard page and we're going to go over WildFog and if we need to
1:29
some data for other stuff, we'll switch to another site. So for this, we're just going to go through
1:34
all of the icons here and break down everything underneath it. This is all included with
1:40
Zoic. If you do sign up, you would have access to this. And a lot of these features are newer
1:45
So if you do currently have a Zoic, it's something you might want to turn on to earn some extra
1:50
money or something else you might want to play around with. So here is my main breakdown of Wild
1:54
Fog. It brings up your last 30 days by default, your website views
1:59
and your core vitals. Right now looks like I'm having some LCP issues with mobile
2:04
so I might have to check that out. Now, I don't really break down per site as often as I should
2:09
because I'm doing too many sites, which I would not recommend now
2:13
knowing what I know, I would probably only start with two sites at the most
2:18
Here we can go ahead and look, and it does also break down the cache
2:23
And the reason this is is because this is also a CDN
2:27
which stands for content delivery, network. So basically when you sign up with a Zoic, they're going to go ahead and host your
2:33
website on a whole bunch of different servers around the world. That way, when people go to the
2:39
website, it's going to go quick. It's going to load so much faster than it would without it
2:44
This is a great feature that you usually have to pay for. It's nice to not have to pay for it
2:50
So this gives you an idea of how it's been doing over the last 30 days. If we scroll down
2:55
you can see the money per day. And you could see it, well
2:59
is starting to really do decent. We're getting up in views. We look at the views
3:04
We're getting closer to that 100 views a day, which is usually one of my first milestones
3:09
and then I just keep wanting to double it after that. And at the bottom, I'll show you certifications
3:15
You can also break it down by view earning report. If I click on here, it's going to bring it into a generalized view
3:22
This is just your basic information. If you're looking for more detailed ytics, we will get into that
3:28
When you go here, you just choose the date range, if you want daily or monthly, and then
3:34
EPMV or earnings, and you can kind of scroll down and see how everything's going
3:40
Your EPMV, which is basically how much you make per I believe thousand views, and it'll show
3:45
you the amount and also what happened, how much earnings you got
3:51
If you have premium, premium is another version of a Zoic. If they offer you premium, basically you pay about two-thirds of what you'll receive back
4:02
and then you'll get an extra one-third back. So it's a nice feature to have, and I always say to get premium if you can because it's free money
4:11
You just have to go ahead and basically pay for it first. Back on the home screen, you also do have View ytic Report
4:18
If you click here, it'll go through and take you over to the ytics side
4:23
We're not going to go into this yet. We'll break this down at the end. So let's go and go return to Azoic
4:28
And that'll pretty much take you everything. There is a level dashboard, but we'll go over that in another area
4:33
So that is your home. If you want to add a site, you can go and choose AdSight, and you can change the language
4:38
and search. So next we want to go to Azoic ads. Basically, what Azoic is doing is they are putting ads on your website, and you are making
4:46
money through that. So it's good to have them set up correctly. And this area here will show you where they're currently at and everything
4:54
you need to know. The good thing about setting it up is there is a plugin now. It's very easy to set up
4:59
so you don't have to do it the old way with the Chrome extension. And you can edit everything
5:04
through here. I have a full video where I go through and set up a new website. I have a few of them
5:11
My most popular one is an older one. So you want to look for the newer one because it is more up to
5:17
date. As things are always changing with the Zoic, so is the format of the website just because there's so
5:24
much stuff to show. So they had to fine tune it and make sure everything was in the right space
5:29
So here you could do ad setup. You could do add types and you can also do advanced
5:36
We have AdSense and mediation. You can link your AdSense account. Your mediation. Our mediation is
5:43
set up with Google AdSense. Basically what mediation means is Google AdSense can bid against Azoic
5:51
for ads on your website. And whoever bids the most, That's who you take
5:55
So if Google AdSense wins, you're gonna get paid from that with Google AdSense
6:00
If the Zoic wins, you're gonna get paid by a Zoic on that ad
6:04
And you're gonna get the most money for it. It helps drive up the price on both, so it's really nice, especially when ad rates are going up
6:12
You can also import your AdSense data if you would like. Ad Transparency, this is where your ads text manager is
6:19
You can click here, it will open that site and give you all the information you need
6:23
Seller JSON, you can put this on your website, and this will be public
6:29
and this helps other people that are trying to serve you ads
6:34
to know who you are that you've identified yourself, and because of that, a lot of times it will go ahead
6:39
and give you more ads to show on your page. MCM's just gonna go through and look
6:44
make sure your ad manager accounts okay, and also you were approved through Google AdSense
6:50
and you're all set. You do need to be approved through Google AdSense, to run ads, so know that
6:56
However, there's no minimum page requirements to join a Zoic. Here on ad sales, you can run ad campaign
7:03
ad sales page, or a charity. Ad restrictions is just gonna help you set up
7:10
what ads you don't want where. You can set up maximum ads
7:14
You can turn off certain ad categories, which are gonna be turned off
7:19
like social casino games and the other ones here that I don wanna mention and get demonetized We gonna go and choose disable ads by page You can go and put a page here and ads won get served to that page
7:33
For WildFog, I don't have this on here, but usually what I do is I disable ads on the big buyers page
7:41
That way there's less to interfere with people going to Amazon. So I should probably add that
7:48
We have ad restrictions, advertiser blocker, Google Violet. violations, you'll see them if you're here
7:55
Objective content. If you have any articles with some words, they say, you know, you should change or remove
8:02
That would be here. Optimization goals. This is how you want your page to perform
8:07
Mindset to balance. If you do revenue focused, it's going to be more ads
8:11
If you do user experience focused, it's going to kind of be per the user
8:15
And you can also do custom settings. Zoc usually recommends to bump up to revenue focus towards the high
8:23
holidays and leave it there for a few months and then switch back in January. I did that the first
8:28
year and it was really nice. I didn't do it this last year because my page views have been down a lot
8:33
So because that I'm not making as much. So I decided just to leave it on balanced. Split testing
8:38
if you want to split test this against, say Google AdSense, you can do that through here
8:44
And then resources is just going to be some feedback and help pages. That's Azoic Ads. You can go
8:50
and click the X and I'll take you back to the main page. And now we're going to go and choose Leap
8:55
Leap is a program designed to help your website become faster, and it does that by doing a lot of things
9:02
And the first part is the measure. The overview, it's going to tell you what's running good
9:07
and what's running bad on your site. You can see I do have some red here that is concerning
9:12
I should take a look at that. If I go down here, it'll tell me some of the items
9:17
that are running a little high. WordPress forms light, I don't even use that
9:22
so I should remove that. ReCAPHA, I could probably move SiteGround Optimizer I don't use
9:28
So I can remove these plugins simply and it may help bring things down
9:34
And any time you do that, you can just rescan your website. It takes about 10 or 15 minutes and then you're set up
9:40
You do have to set up leap when you get started. However, they do have a thing to just click
9:45
and they set it up for you. You just have to wait in line depending on how many people are in front of you
9:50
which I don't think it will be that many now that Leap's been out for a while. Go to my scores and I'll give you an idea of how everything's doing
9:58
You can see I have some that are touching the longer areas
10:02
So again, I have to be concerned about that. And at the middle report, I don't have enough data in an accumulative layout
10:09
So just gives you a good idea about what's going on with everything. I can go to technologies and it's going to say what is slowing you down and what's not recommended
10:20
So you can go to lab. Here you can test pages for core web vitals just by putting the link in and hit yze
10:26
And a leaderboard, which we're not part of. When you go to optimize, here you can go ahead
10:31
and look at what's currently set up in your settings. Here we have all of these items turned on
10:38
I can turn them off if I want and save them if I need to
10:42
Then we have caching. So caching basically is what I was saying with the CDN
10:47
how it puts a copy of your website on, all these different servers all over the world
10:53
they don't always update the pages as quickly as they should, depending on how you have your settings set up
11:00
So if you make a change, say on one of my wild fog pages
11:04
I would put the link here, and then I could hit Clear for URL. That'll clear the cache on all of those servers worldwide and get the new page
11:14
Now you can do this automatically in the plugin already. When you download the plugin, you can turn this on just to go ahead in
11:20
clear cash on a page anytime it's updated, which has worked for the majority of the time
11:26
but every once in a while, I may need to come in here and clear a URL that might be kind of stuck
11:31
So it does help out good. Also, these pages usually stay, I believe
11:35
for 30 days or so. So if you make a change after that time
11:39
when it does grab the fresh page, it is gonna update by itself eventually
11:45
so you don't have to go in here if you're not in a time crunch. You can do it for multiple URLs
11:50
could do it for the whole site. And it's one of the best things to start with if your page is not
11:56
updating and not showing correct is caching. Cashing is always a huge thing. Can scroll down and
12:02
see more about caching, how good it's going, and all the options. Again, resources, more areas to
12:09
do things for Leap specifically and any feedback you would like. Once you're done on a leap
12:16
you would hit the X here. Next, we're going to look at some of the new features
12:20
they have out. So we're going to Flickify, Humix, and Niche IQ next. So let's start with Flickify
12:26
Flickify will take an article and create a video with it. Once you do that, you'll be able to put that
12:33
video on your website if you would like and you could use it or on YouTube however you'd like
12:40
The thing with the videos is you do need to put some work into it. It does generate everything by
12:45
itself, but if you don't edit some things, you know, like delete the table of contents, you know
12:50
if you're pulling it from a link, I would use a script and just paste it in. Make sure you're not
12:56
you know, it's not grabbing your affiliate disclaimer and things like that in the video
13:00
Because that's what happened when I tested it out the first time. It did all of those things
13:04
And I'm like, okay, the link, the URL is not the greatest unless I want to go through and edit
13:09
heavy on the video. But if you go through and just throw the wording in under use a script
13:15
it'll go a lot smoother. Here you could do the video intro, media library, and manage
13:20
videos. So this is the one that I've started to do in draft. I can go ahead and hit edit video
13:26
just to kind of show you what it was like. Here we'll preview the video. How to store a fog
13:31
machine with these tips. By Kevin Date, January 9th. Who had fresh for longer periods of time
13:36
and reduce its risk of evaporating quickly when used again in future events or shows
13:42
Three, keep all parts of your fog machine clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth after each
13:47
use, this will help prevent dust. You get the idea. You can do a lot more customization in here
13:52
This was right out of the box. This is what came up. So that's what I wanted to show you
13:56
Plans, you do get 100 videos per month. And yeah, that's nice because you can also edit them
14:03
like I said, change things up, which I definitely would. That was just a quick, here, do this
14:09
and it did it. Resources, of course, and then if you want to provide feedback, you can
14:13
Humix is going to be a video system. You can kind of think of it like, I guess
14:18
a little YouTube for websites themselves. And how it works is humics will serve up videos
14:26
related to your web pages on the bottom of your page and play the videos on the bottom
14:32
And if they leave that video player going and ads come up, you will earn money from that
14:37
So here you can see I've earned 55 cents in the last 30 days
14:42
To be honest, it's not. not making a lot for me, but also a lot of the videos
14:46
aren't really fitting perfect for me. I think as the Humix video library increases it do better Here we are on Humix on my RC ride cars since I do have some videos I uploaded myself So I can go through and see what going on here
15:02
Unfortunately, it looks like I disabled it by mistake and I just reenabled it
15:07
So I'm not going to see the stats on here. These are videos I had set up and I had them to share but they weren't sharing
15:14
So I now have them sharing. Again, it's like these features, you just want to walk through them and when I walk through
15:20
them, I was like, why aren't they being shared? I want them shared because, you know, they show more
15:25
videos, you know, then I will get a cutback because I'm the video person. So example, you do a
15:32
humics video on a baseball hat. We'll say Phillies. And what happens is if you're reading an article
15:42
about the Phillies and it maybe mentions their new merchandise or something like that
15:47
the video may relate it and it may pop up and show that video
15:50
Now that video is just filler to get to the ads. So they're watching the video
15:56
Hopefully it draws them down. It's doing well. It gets to an ad
16:00
They watch the ad. Now that ad just earned money for a Zoic
16:04
for the person's website, and for you as a video creator. So because of that, it's a win-win
16:12
because now you're getting money on other people's websites on videos that you've created and you're sharing
16:19
So I think Humix is a great idea and it'd be awesome to dive in and make some money on it just by creating videos
16:26
These are the five videos I have that I had on YouTube, but I brought over into Humix and I set up
16:34
And unfortunately, like I said, I didn't share them at the moment
16:37
I just set it up to share today. Here you can click on playlist. If you have a specific playlist and batch update videos, if you'd like, you can go to site
16:47
Here it's going to talk about what sites are showing what videos, and you have all of these options
16:53
across the top as well. So if I go to Network Opt-In, this is where I just turned sharing on today
17:00
and you want to make sure these are turned on if you want them shown. Now, this will put a video
17:05
player on your website, but it's going to bring in more money, so it's up to you if that's
17:10
something you're looking for. Of course, they're all going to show zero views because I just started
17:14
sharing them. I can go to Video Player just to get an idea of how it will look and settings if you want anything specific to happen maximum number one for example
17:25
if you want more than one video you could do that under monetization it's going to talk about ad
17:30
configurations you can aggressively monetize which just means more ads your ad length you can
17:37
set up how long you want it network opt in these are all in and then settings you go to channel
17:44
as well and you have these options as well. And then resources again will be your main resources
17:53
Keep in mind any tab in yellow takes you to another site. Next we have niche IQ. I have already done a
17:59
detailed video on this. So if you would like extra information on this other than just a general
18:03
overview, I'll put it at the top of the video for you. So niche IQ is basically what it sounds like
18:09
It goes through and gets you ideas for keywords. You just have to make sure you enable everything
18:14
and you go to topics, and then it'll tell you the usual process, and then your new process
18:21
We're already done, so we can go to topic suggestions, and here you'll be able to see different suggestions
18:29
Now, some of the stuff will be a little different than you're used to, but by going through
18:33
and looking through, you'll see which ones work and which ones don't. It will give you a good idea between potential and keyword difficulty
18:40
You want them, you know, keyword difficulty you want in the middle
18:44
and potential you want as high as can be. So the higher they are towards the top
18:50
usually the better they are. If you see something you like, you just hit the bookmark
18:54
and then it'll go through and mark that. And you'll also be able to sort by bookmarks as well
19:01
So at the end, you could just click here and see the bookmark. When I went through this
19:06
it actually did give me some good ideas, and I looked again
19:10
and there are more good ideas. This does update regularly, it does say it refreshes weekly
19:17
So you'll be able to keep up to date with these. And this is just another tool to give you more keywords
19:23
You know, these articles we write, they're great. But as you start running out of keywords, it gets frustrating
19:29
I feel like I run out way too much. And like other people have all these millions of keywords
19:35
And I'm scrounging after a few hundred. These different ideas definitely do help me out
19:40
You can also do competitor overview. This isn't always real accurate. Remember, this is a newer feature, but it'll give you an idea what it thinks your competitors are by other sites that have similar content
19:54
And it'll break down the competition list on here and give you an idea as well
19:59
You know, overlap ratio is kind of what you're looking for, and you'll get an idea of who, you know, here smokemachine
20:07
That's definitely a competitor. Instructibles is definitely a competitor. Spirit Halloween is probably a competitor, even though I've never went to this
20:14
the website because Halloween fog machine. So it gives you a good idea if you want to investigate
20:20
those sites more. Next we have on page SEO and this is to run title tests
20:25
and I actually have one currently running. If I go and choose view here, I can see view, wait for the results
20:32
You know, I have to wait, but it gives me an idea. I tried three different titles to see if I can get people
20:38
to click better and you can see here the first trial trial B went terribly
20:43
Trial A went okay, but the baseline is the best by far
20:48
So it's probably going to go through here and say, hey, you already have the best title against these competitors
20:56
So because of that, we're going to leave your title the same. Now, if a different trial would have won, it would automatically switch my title to the new title, and I would be all set
21:07
So it's like you don't even have to really monitor this. You just kick it off and see what happens
21:14
Of course, you do need to have a decent amount of views for this to happen on that content
21:21
Once you get some decent views on something, on an article, you'll be able to run these tests
21:26
especially as your website gets larger and larger and you're getting more and more
21:31
Site Health will give you broken link overview, and it'll also give you the broken link list
21:37
and you can go through here and fix any of these. of these are PHP for me, so I would need to figure that out
21:46
Resources again, and then you have some settings, which is basically connecting your
21:51
website with Google Search Console, and this will go through and help provide better
21:57
niche IQ topics, suggestions, because it's going to see what you currently have that you're
22:03
ranking for, and I'll say, hey, you know, this looks pretty good too. So again, another feature that's
22:09
amazing that is included with Azoic. Next we have the ytics. The ytics in Azoic are
22:17
extreme They called big data ytics because it is a lot of data Pretty much anything you need you can find It is very large and it has what I think is better than Google with ytics
22:34
There's lots of different stuff. We'll go over some of the basics here
22:38
starting with real time. If we go to real time, we'll see currently who's going through here
22:43
and how much money is being made. So 142 someone came. I didn't make anything
22:49
Didn't make anything. Okay. Not making much on this site. Let's just go to Best Playground Sets just to give you an idea
22:57
So right now I have one user on here. You can choose all sites if you want to see them all
23:02
but I don't disclose all my websites. And it'll show you how much right now
23:06
So I'm making a penny right now. You can see the graph spiked up a bit
23:10
So when I have all the sites, you know, I'm making a few cents every minute, you know
23:15
as it goes, depending as it goes, as the more views you get
23:19
more income you get. And when I was getting a lot of page views on my one site, I had this
23:25
opened all the time because it's so fun to watch with all the sites and seeing the links go up
23:31
It also helps you say, hey, what pages are being visited and how they're doing? And you can be like
23:37
okay, they keep going to that page when I'm not making money. So maybe I need to improve that site
23:42
It gives you revenue overview to give you an idea of how much money you make. And, you know
23:47
This site's making less than a dollar a day, but it's getting up there
23:51
It is one of the newer sites that has done a case study for probably about 14 months now
23:57
So we are starting to make some money. I'm hoping to get that even higher, continuing with more articles
24:03
I'm going to just go over the basic menus here. I'm not going to break down everything individual or this video would be ours
24:10
And I know some of the ytics, but I am not an expert
24:14
And unfortunately, things like this are usually really hard to find a lot of information on
24:20
Though Azoic does provide lots of tutorials, and I'm sure they have tutorials all about everything in here
24:27
So keep that in mind. Their video library of tutorials is very amazing, and they're always doing something every week
24:35
So you can look at Traffic Overview versus last year. Could look at experiments
24:40
You can go to audience by language, for example. You could break it down by location, local time, weather
24:47
Yes, you can see what the weather is when people visit. For me, if it's sunny out, my ride-on-site used to do really good
24:55
And if it was rating out, my R.C. Ride-On-Site didn't do very good. So it just gives you an idea
25:01
Behavior is another section. We've returned visitor frequency, new verse returning. And we got content, the landing page, where they're exiting, pages without revenue
25:12
then you can break down the sites the subdomain site speed bounce rate by load speed you have so much
25:20
different reports that it's crazy technology device connection type bots then you got traffic
25:29
sources i can break this down here so google is you know a good amount but if you look i have a lot
25:38
of other sources. I got Duck Duck Go. Bing's doing good. Google Canada, Google UK, Yahoo, YouTube
25:46
and then WildFog, just going right to the link. And there's 13.7 unknown. Then you have the
25:53
User Experience tab overview. You have traffic by UX, social shares. We have yield. We have SEO search
26:02
console. We have Humix, which is the video. We could go to the total video revenue to give you an
26:07
idea of how it does. But as we go down, we got a few cents a day through Humix with the
26:13
sites that are enabled. And like I said, I think I had RC ride on turned off by mistake. So I'm
26:19
glad I went through it. You might want to go through your stuff too if you've been with Zoic
26:23
just to make sure you have everything set up correctly. And custom reports is if you saved any
26:28
reports, they would be down here. Next, we have the settings. You have your connection, your name
26:34
servers, your cloud flare, all of those options here. Your privacy settings, you can go through and use their consent management by turning it on
26:43
and then just checking off what you want turned on and then save it
26:48
Content has some things you can look at like script tester, script removal, emotes, a bunch of
26:54
miscellaneous stuff you can take a look at. Google violations is also important to know where it's at if you need to
27:00
Objectible content. Again, if we go in here, nothing there. No Google violations
27:05
DNS would just be your DNS stuff, hosting, if I wanted to get hosting through here, API
27:12
You have an API through Azoic, which connects to your website plugin
27:18
That way the plugin can talk to the website. And then manage sites if you want to add a site or remove a site
27:24
Next we have our level dashboard. If we highlight over here, this is the level you are
27:29
I'm on level three and I'm hanging on there even with all my issues
27:33
but as my one website decreases and my other sites go up
27:38
I've been able to hold on the level three, which is big because I like level three
27:43
It's where things start to happen. You can level up one to five
27:47
It gives you an idea of everything going on here. We go to level dashboard, and we have here you have access now
27:53
level one, level two, level three, four, and five. And you can see here I'm 8% into both on level three
27:59
because of my decrease, but I'm trying to make that up. When click on scores, I'll give you an idea of how everything's going
28:06
You know, you get unlocks, you get rewards, things like that. And in News Feed, if you want to know what's going on
28:13
Accomplishments, you can see what's going on with all my accomplishments, all my badges earned
28:17
Also, highlights are some banners, certifications. You can turn these on on your websites if you want
28:24
I can connect with my manager. That's not available at every level
28:28
I believe it starts at level three, or if you're part of E3P. Then you have the support center and help community
28:36
Ooh, that was a lot. There is also a Trailblazer icon. I can't show you that because that's part of the E3P
28:41
And some of the stuff in there is in beta, so I can't show you that. Just know there's always new features coming out
28:47
and they're trying to make everything as good as they can for you, so you have all the tools you need to be successful
28:52
This is what my current homepage looks like with all my websites, and you can see here I get azoic
28:58
I get mediation, and then premium money. So that's just a breakdown of what I make daily
29:04
It's not a lot. It was closer to about $40 before my site tanked
29:09
and before ad revenues have went down a bit. However, I think everything's going to bounce back
29:15
It is January, so it's usually one of the lowest times of the year
29:19
And as things get better with the economy and the months move on, I hope to see this go back up
29:25
Plus, I need more traffic, so that's what I'm working on now. If you have any questions, let me know
29:31
if you're interested, I do have a link down below. It helps out a lot. I also do a video on how to
29:35
set it up, which I will show to you now. Thanks so much for the view
