"The era of winning by publishing the most is over." 🎧

Our Director of Publisher Advocacy and Partnerships, Cyd Converse, joined Bjork Ostrom on the Food Blogger Pro Podcast to talk about what's actually working for publishers right now.

A few takeaways:
👉 Start with the content you already have. Find the posts that earn the most per visit and send more readers their way.
👉 Email matters. Traffic from your list can be worth more to advertisers, and any list beats no list.
👉 Don't rush to block AI crawlers. AI tools may already be citing your content, and it's worth knowing before making decisions.
👉 Build an audience that comes back for you. A recognizable voice and loyal readers protect you when search shifts.

Cyd started her own food blog, The Sweetest Occasion, in 2008, so this advice comes from someone who's ridden out every algorithm shift as a publisher herself.

Home can be a place, but it can also be a recipe you watched your mom make a hundred times.

For Jamie Silva, a Miami native and first-generation Cuban-American, it's both. In 2016, she started A Sassy Spoon Recipes to share the Cuban recipes she grew up on, often measured by her mom's favorite unit: un poquito ("a little bit"). Ten years later, her site has reached more than 14 million pageviews, and readers who've moved away or lost loved ones use her recipes to bring those dishes back to their own tables.

This year, her story came full circle. Jamie's mom moved in with her, and now the two cook together every day.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, read how A Sassy Spoon is keeping Cuban food and family traditions alive:

October is when Q4 starts showing up in your numbers.

Readers are searching for Halloween ideas and fall recipes, and many are already looking for gifts. On the advertiser side, October's Prime Day event kicks off holiday shopping, and Q4 budgets start moving. Demand builds from here through the end of the year, and eCPMs tend to climb with it.

That makes October the month to get your best content ready to earn. A post you refresh now has time to pick up search traffic before November and December, when advertisers spend the most.

Update last year's holiday posts before search interest spikes. Link your fall content to your holiday content so readers keep clicking. And check your ad settings now, not in the middle of Black Friday week.

Swipe for your full October playbook, including seasonal content opportunities with high traffic potential, resources exclusive to Mediavine publishers, and a quick optimization to implement this month.

Meet Vanessa Love, one of Mediavine's Account Executives in Publisher Development 👋

Vanessa is often the first person you talk to if you're considering joining Mediavine, and she knows that decision isn't a small one.

She believes that the hesitation publishers often feel almost always comes down to revenue, and that makes total sense. You've worked hard to build what you have. So instead of asking you to just take her word for it, she pulls up real numbers from similar sites already in Mediavine's network, so you can see for yourself before deciding anything.

What she wants publishers to know is that it's not a one-person show on our end. Although she is your main point of contact, there's a whole team working to make sure your launch actually goes smoothly, and stays that way.

Vanessa grew up surrounded by music thanks to her dad's career in the industry, which has meant attending the Grammy Awards several times over the years. It's not something she takes for granted! She's also a die-hard Ohio State football fan, always halfway packed for her next trip, and stays grounded by spending time with her mom and her pup Flex, who remind her to slow down and enjoy the small stuff.

We’re so lucky to have Vanessa and so is every publisher who has the chance to work with her. She's part of how we deliver on our mission to build the future of monetization for digital businesses, one publisher at a time.
