Connected KOL Tracker to Deployer Hunter, 815 tools, fighting the indexing wall
Update on MadeOnSol — the honest Solana tool directory.
Quick context if you're new: MadeOnSol is a curated directory of 815+ Solana ecosystem tools with free intelligence tools built on top. No paid rankings, ever. Previous posts cover the backstory.
What shipped this week:
KOL Tracker is live — monitors what the biggest Solana wallets actually buy on-chain, not what they tweet. Every KOL profile has a Deployer Score showing what % of their buys come from tracked deployers.
Connected KOL Tracker and Deployer Hunter so they feed each other. When a tracked deployer launches a token and KOLs start buying, you see it on both sides instantly. This is the strongest on-chain signal I've seen anyone offer for free.
Tool count: 600 → 815 across 26 categories
Blog guides: now at 120+
Removed Wallet X-Ray, CTO Radar, and Token Scanner to focus on the tools that matter most: Deployer Hunter, KOL Tracker, TikTok Trend Detector, and Token Launcher
Added TikTok Trend Detector — scans viral TikTok videos that could become memecoins, updated every few minutes, community-scored
SEO / indexing (the ongoing battle):
Google indexed: 205 pages out of ~1,580 total
1,365 pages stuck in "Discovered — currently not indexed"
Daily impressions: 50-60 with occasional clicks
First 7 impressions on Bing
Started submitting to real ecosystem directories today: DappRadar (under review), Launching Next, and a few others from a list I'm working through
The indexing problem is 100% a domain authority issue. Google sees all my pages but won't crawl them because I don't have enough backlinks telling it my site is worth the crawl budget. Every directory submission and legitimate backlink helps chip away at this.
Revenue: still $0
Not stressing about this yet. The affiliate links are wired up on trading bot pages — when traffic comes, the monetization path is there. Right now every hour goes into getting Google to actually index my site.
Biggest lesson this week:
Kill features that dilute focus. I removed three tools this week. It felt wrong at first, but the product is cleaner now. Deployer Hunter + KOL Tracker working together is a stronger story than five separate tools that each do something average.
Costs: ~€140/month. Hetzner VPS, Supabase, Kaldera RPC, Resend for email. That's it.

Happy to answer questions. Especially interested if anyone here has cracked the "new directory with no backlinks" problem.
