14k monthly visitors for a pet project: full stats, how niche landing pages helped
Sharing a SEO story of MyGuitarTuner.com, how it got to 14k monthly visitors and still growing with pure SEO (I did nothing to promote it):
https://dmitryborody.com/seo-story-pet-project/
You'll find:
- full stats on how long it took to index, first views and growth dynamics
- how specialized niche pages were the key to growth
I think other makers would find it helpful to adjust their expectations with "just put it out there and hope people will find it" approach to launching.

Hi @DmitryBorody,
awesome stats! I bet they would be a lot better if Google Analytics tracked all visits instead of doing sampling. I am using both Google Analytics and Matomo and despite I don't have much traffic yet I already see quite a difference in the stats.
Thanks for the pointer – Matomo looks interesting!
