Here's a story I'd rather not tell, but here it goes. If nothong more, as a reminder to myself.
I was working on other projects when I got this idea. A super simple site that could target so many keywords just by utilizing a npm library.
Shiny object syndrome.
I started working, and working, and working. This pSEO website was meant to be a simple weekend project — a brief escape from my other ongoing tasks and a chance to achieve a quick win.
However it is never that simple. It is never that easy. Feature creep, scope creep, over engineering and the site took me 2 months to build, and that's for a basic version.
And now, doing the in-depth research after building 🙈, I see I've underestimated the competition and overestimated the number of keywords I could target.
2 month update
Almost no traffic 😐.
After being quite fed up with the site, I did a short work session where I 5x'd the number of indexable pages, and thus, the number of keywords.
I don't think it'll boost the site signifficantly, but at just a coupe of hours, it was a very obvious thing to do. Now for the waiting.
If the site picks up some traffic I'll be happy to expand on it. If not, this might be it for site #1.
This site is part of my 15 pSEO websites in 15 months challenge.
