Starting off this analytics challenge with my own numbers
GSC for awesomeindie.com on the last 3 months shows 668 clicks from Google search
Until early July the line was flat (1 to 5 clicks a day, and a few zero days). The reason is simple: I had no time for the project, so I left it running on its own for months. No updates, no SEO, no one watching it, so spam accounts and bots filled it with junk, and Google pushed it down
Then I rebuilt the whole thing. New database, better server, spam accounts banned, junk cleaned out, and proper SEO and AEO for the first time, and finally the line started to move. I also added AI moderation, so new junk gets caught before it goes live, and monetization, which turned out to be a great spam filter, as bots and spam accounts usually do not pay
The last two weeks have been 15 to 20 clicks a day, and yesterday hit 29
Still small, but it is finally going the right way
Your turn now, post yours
