So, I thought that I submitted my stats, but I obviously didnt!
I have become more and more disillusioned with domains and websites and I have dropped nearly 150 domains, and will only keep a couple.
This comp has been good in terms of proving to myself that I am totally unmotivated, and that I am totally kidding myself if I think I ever will be. I found it way too time consuming to write articles, even with the help of AI. So thank you for that interesting revelation, and good luck to those genuinely participating. Ill be interested to see the winning website!
My final stats:
I wrote 9 articles in the september when I set the site up and have not touched it since.
Its had 215 visits total in 6 months
29 organic visits total in 6 months
Its great to see everyone doing so well.
Im doing an experiment of my own, lol.
I published 9 articles at the beginning of the competition and nothing since. Its interesting to see how traffic is increasing on my site although i have done nothing.
For january I had 34 direct entries and 4 from search engines.
To date its been 152 direct entries and 20 from search engines. Considering I have done no work, im still kinda impressed that 20 people have found me from search engines (They could be bots, but still, traffic is finding me).
I dont want to quit, but im unfortunatly going to have to because Matomo analyitics is showing visitors in september? I bought my domain before October, but I double checked it was not indexed. Anyway, im not 100% sure why its showing that, and also showing articles being created in september? Im confused, but anyway, it had to be after oct 1st and the stats show otherwise.
Ill still keep working on it anyway. And thanks for the motivation .
Very embarrassed to admit I have done nothing.
Looking forward to seeing how everyone else is doing. Here’s mine https://youtu.be/TeiMHJ6rRnk
Ive been using the free chat GPT and its terrible. It lies! I ended up just doing the research myself.
Is there any reliable tool that will do proper research eg If I ask it for monuments or art works in the world, it wont just make up the information.
I am excited to join this challenge…
Ok, so here are the stats:
9 articles
8 organic search in dec (16 in total)
I use matamo, so am not sure about clicks. Is that actions?
I have honestly done no work since I started. I find that creating the text with AI is quick. Copy and pasting that into a layout and then finding a load of pics is the time consuming part.
I may try some posts with no pics, or just one as a main one, to save time and get a load more posts up.
OMG I’m such an idiot, haha. I really thought it was the 1st of October.
Ok, just ignore me,
I’m fine!!
I only have 9!
awesome,thats what I presumed, thanks!
and heres me, waiting over 8 hours for my domain to propagate…
I understood it was midnight in PST, which was 8am in the UK!
internetbs is my choice. I had a big security problem with namesilo and its cheaper than namecheap
Need to check if it’s indexed in google. Go to google.
Type in
Site:(your domain).
If it shows, it’s indexed.
urg, Ive just realised that out of the two domains I really wanted to use, one had only had a blank wordpress website on, which I deleted, but shows its indexed doing site:{domain}.com, Whereas the other one is not indexed at all when I do a search, but semrush shows a backlink. Im guessing that I cant use either at all 🙁
Even when I was very specific eg write a short paragraph about x artwork, it was nowhere near close.
Going to have to figure out what articles would be ‘safe’ to let it run riot for the Ai challenge.
I’m not tech savvy with video either! I’m fortunately fine with building websites though
Indexed is the hard one! So many unused ones, but they show up in google if I put site:url
I presume other sources like socials are also not allowed and that the whole point is to get ai to generate content that will generate organic traffic
