The short answer is yes, blogging is an effective SEO and marketing tool otherwise my clients won't keep hiring me, haha! But yes, I have another semi-abandoned blog, PinayBeautyAndStyle Blog that I have kinda neglected for a year. My views and DA went so far down that I thought the blog would never recover so I decided to experiment.

First, I bought a domain name for my blogger or Blogspot blog. PinayBeautyAndStyle used to be hosted on the blogger platform with a dot Blogspot dot com address. I bought what I need from Namecheap because I wanted to see what would happen.

So in late 2019, PinayBeautyAndStyle Blog got a DA of 32 and was getting a few thousand views per day. I know these numbers are low but you have to understand that this blog is a niche blog within a niche. I was only publishing Filipino Beauty Content and only a few times a month, maybe 2 to 4 per week when I am feeling good and have a lot of spare time from my other projects.

When I revisited the blog in late 2020, my DA was down to 24 and I simply decided to neglect the blog because I got so many things on my plate at that time. This also explains why I got no entries for this blog (YeyAndie Blog) as well.

Flash forward to early 2021, my DA was down to 18 and so I decided why not to experiment, right? and see what would happen if I post a blog a day for 31 days and also buy a new domain. See how long it will take to get back to 18 from 0. That was in March 2021.
