Hey everyone! I had fun with this challenge and hope to see more in the future. Google doesn’t like my site, but the other search engines do.
Posts: 860
Organic Search Traffic: 1380 (nearly all non-Google)
Who knows, maybe Google will become a source of traffic again, but if not, Bing, Duck Duck Go, and Yahoo show potential. I’m going to continue with the site, even though Google killed it on their end. It has potential to become a local service business site with a huge blog, or a lead gen site.
Articles Published: 860
Organic Sessions: 579
Another month of 100% growth, which makes me feel like the site has pretty good potential. It’s starting to have days where traffic spikes much more than the average. Hopefully, this trend continues and those spikes become the norm.
I still have a ton of articles to make this site anywhere near complete. It’s maybe covered 5-10% of the topic… It also has the potential of adding a local physical business aspect to it. Have a great March, everyone!
Article Count: 786
Organic Sessions: 294
Sessions are up 135% from last month, so it’s looking pretty good! I’m hopeful that traffic will continue to rise.
I’ve been busy and have failed at doing anything other than posting unedited posts. I feel like if I go in and do some content optimization and internal links, this site has a lot of potential.
Clearly, I’m playing the volume game here with 786 posts so far, but the topic has far more opportunity. I’m guessing it could have 10k articles…
The challenge will be optimizing that many posts. Basically impossible! So, I’ll pick and choose the articles that have received traffic with no optimization and start there.
Good luck everyone!
Congrats Karan. Very impressive numbers!
Total Articles: 610 (144 new in December)
Google Search Console Clicks: 35 (+5 from last month)
Google Analytics 116 Users & 125 organic sessions (+77 / +79 from last month)
I had some nice traffic growth in December from non-Google search engines. Hopefully, Google will follow suit. I still need to work on images and internal linking. Ugh… the time consuming stuff! Happy New Year, everyone!
Happy New Year everyone!
New Articles: 1941
Clicks: 2357
I didn’t do much in month 2 besides post articles that were auto-scheduled each day. The site has 466 total articles and had 46 organic sessions in November. I need to start optimizing these live posts ASAP!!! Good luck and have a great December!
Month 2 Update: I’ve been steadily posting unedited articles. Now that I have all posts drafted through the end of the challenge, I really need to go back and start editing posts that show potential. Hope everyone is doing well with their sites!
Anyone who’s having trouble getting their site indexed, I’d suggest using the rank math instant indexing plugin. For Google you have to take a few extra steps, which sounds daunting, but it’s actually pretty easy if you use this post from Rank Math to walk you through it. Hope this helps! I set it up day 1 and my site has 375 pages indexed vs 11 not indexed. https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/?utm_source=Instant+Indexing+Plugin&utm_medium=Setup+Guide+Button&utm_campaign=WP
Here’s my month 1 update. Pretty boring so far on the stats front. I’m happy I’ve been able to stay consistent with the project. https://youtu.be/TlHzAgWxdvk
I’m off to a fast start with this challenge, as I was already sort of doing the same thing before it started… 570 new articles (19/day), and 79 clicks. I’m happy with the trajectory so far as impressions are heading up and right. Now for getting clicks to follow suit. I know that I need to go back and edit articles as they’re very basic and unedited so far and need to find a way to make that my priority. Here’s my update video:
Hey everyone! Good luck with the challenge. It will be interesting to see how much everyone’s sites can grow in an extremely short period of time. I’m excited to hear what’s working and what’s not. Hopefully, we’ll all have a better asset in 3 months’ time!
Hey everyone! Good luck in the challenge. It will be interesting to see how much everyone’s sites can grow in a short period of time. I’m really looking forward to hearing what works and what doesn’t. Hopefully we’ll all have another asset in 6 months!
Nice results! What are you using to create recipes using AI? Is it a lot of manual work or have you found something that works well?
Wow – Amazing results, Victoria! Your numbers are insane. Keep it up!
Solid results! Especially on a high-volume keyword… Is this US traffic or another country?
