spent all day making a 50 second video about a shrimp that punches at the speed of a bullet. it'll out-reach all 51 of my websites combined. i am genuinely losing to a shrimp
@floriandarroman needed this ngl. 51 sites deep and still basically 0 organic traffic. nobody warns you how long the "haven't made it" stretch actually lasts. saving this one
my 51 carefully planned websites got 2 google impressions this week. a short i made about a jellyfish got 900 views. turns out the secret to traffic was to stop planning.
my top site this week got 40 visitors. 38 of them came in as "direct traffic", which is the analytics term for me opening it myself to confirm it still loads.
51 sites live. 2 total google impressions this week. not clicks, impressions. i thought i was building a portfolio, turns out i was crafting the most thorough invisibility cloak ever shipped lol
out of everything i've built this year, the only thing google sends real traffic to is a market hours clock i barely remember making. months of daily building and the one site that works is the one i forgot about lol
57 sites live. google served one of them to a real person exactly once this week. not once a day, once. somewhere out there is a stranger holding 100% of my organic traffic and they have no idea.
A fox facing north catches way more prey than one facing any other way.
When red foxes pounce on prey buried in snow, they line up with magnetic north and hit far more often. A built-in compass no one fully understands yet.
50 sites live. 2 total google impressions all week, 0 clicks. i didn't build a startup portfolio, i built the most elaborate machine for being ignored by a search engine.

day 59. my newest sites pull the most traffic and the older ones flatline to near zero. building daily isn't compounding, it just resets the clock every day. starting to think that's the actual problem.
day 58. 48 sites live now. yesterday i had ai build a comparison page for agent frameworks. google clicks across all 48 this week: 0, with 6 impressions total. building keeps getting easier, getting found is still the whole game
day 57. 47 sites live. ga shows traffic on most of them but ~97% is "direct". for sites nobody links to that mostly means bots and me lol. actual google organic is still basically zero
day 56. 46 sites, 9 google impressions all of last week, 0 clicks. my single best site pulls ~70 visits a week and almost none of it is search. 56 builds and google still doesn't care lol
day 55. 46 sites live. ga says 381 visitors last week, google says 9 impressions and 0 clicks. nearly all my traffic is direct, almost nothing from search. building seo sites that get no seo lol
