Reply To: Official Report: 4 Month Checking for the NEW AI Site Challenge!

Oh wow, looks like there are some of you guys doing absolutely amazing!
I do have minor regrets for trialling a POD store mixed in with this challenge – really should have stuck with a blog haha but we will stick it out!

This month I purchased some backlinks from Fiverr – sites seemed legit enough but content was terrible (as expected.. pay peanuts…) but the links were there nonetheless – haven’t seen it have any impact at all yet! Added two blog posts and have submitted to GSC for crawling. I also started some FB ads to get a little bit of interest so social traffic was up – but also no crazy impact on the organic.

Only 3 total clicks for Feb but impressions are growing. Have tried replicating my products into female products rather than just Men’s to see if this improves CTR / interest! Also renaming to target ‘Women’s Teacher Shirt’ related keywords a little more.

Once I’m happy with the product library my goals this month are to get some genuine backlinks, add more of my own photo content (rather than mockups), run a social competition and more ads, and pop a blog post up weekly. To help with the social stuff I’ve put a post out for a VA just to try to help me get ahead, especially with IG scheduling and Pinterest as I’m wanting to see if the social interest grows, whether Google will get a little more excited about me haha.

Thanks for reading! Good progress, and good luck all 🙂
