Why are we now including premium content into Pie Lady Bakes?
This part is a little in-depth, but stay with me.
The short answer is that Grow is going to help us continue to have a viable business even after significant technology changes in the years to come in the advertising industry.
Pieladybakes.com has been an amazing journey that I started in 2015 when I wanted to teach folks how to make pies. It has grown and now helps feed our family through the ads you see running on the page.
My team and I put lots of work into the site, baking, photography, social media, writing, taking old fashioned and vintage recipes and bringing them into the 21st century. It’s a labor of love to be sure.
But one thing we know for sure is that change is constant right? So.
In 2023, Google is going to eliminate 3rd party cookies. When that happens, it will be harder to earn revenue with advertising much more difficult. You know when you do a search for something and all of a sudden you get ads for that exact product? Google is serving you ads that it thinks might appeal and be the most relevant to you, the reader.
So many websites, just like pieladybakes.com are looking for a variety of ways to earn revenue, without charging you anything.
One way we are doing that is through establishing direct relationships with our readers, and for you to consent to receiving personalized ads on this website even in a post-cookie world.
My website is one of many websites that are currently using Grow. Grow is a tool built by Mediavine ( the publishing network I belong to and who runs the advertising on the site).
This tool has a lot of awesome benefits to both me, the site owner, and you, the reader, but the main one is that it will allow me to keep having a website and creating awesome content for you even in a post-cookie world. By signing up for a free Grow account, you are directly helping support PieLadyBakes.
