The funny thing about having a brand built on "roasting" people is that friends expect you to be mean in real life
The old profile picture didn't help, so here is a new one:
If I see one more indie hacker selling ad space I'm going to LinkedIn
This is about $500,000 / day ๐ซก
I tried pstack but really not for me
Way too expensive (already spending $5000/month!)
@WillW47958 haha not a day, a month! i probably average about 15b tokens / day
I hate ๐ต๐ฑ Warsaw
Ever since I moved here, my life has gotten so much worse
Everyone is productive, the internet is too fast, ลปabka is too close by, @ricardogorski stole my mic, @thekevinjon flexes and talks about his YouTube agency all day
Worst decision ever

With the SEO OG @illyism in our Warsaw office - solving difficult problems...
I checked the SEO for 842 sites listed on
And made an indie hacker domain report:
TL;DR:
- DR 3.4 (average: 13.9, range: 0โ91)
- 543 sites had no organic traffic at all ๐
- Of the rest, median traffic was only 138 visits/month

The math is only "simple" if you don't understand that DR is literally logarithmic
A DR 50 site has ~20 to 30x the link equity of a DR 25 site, not 2x
Here is what Outrank pays vs real market averages (just grabbed this data from 17,000+ domains @LinkDR_ has pricing info on):
- DR 20: $20 vs $95 (5x)
- DR 40: $40 vs $300 (7.5x)
- DR 50: $50 vs $500 (10x)
- DR 70: $70 vs $1,500 (21x)
Real websites making money from Google won't risk getting penalized for $50
Spammers with fake domains have nothing to lose and will take $50 all day
Thatโs why fixed $1/DR pricing guarantees only spam sites join the network
And this destroys the whole network, and any site that is now running on Outrank is at risk, even if they don't sell links directly

Met SEO legend @illyism yesterday!
Such a nice change to meet a fellow indie builder offline ๐
Canโt wait to meet more people from the community.
There's always someone in the top 10 ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Good game! Another site down by Google AI spam update. While the content is actually helpful for the usersโฆ๐

"Google is gonna know the network by following the links"
Bro, every website literally connects to the Google search console api integration
They already have the full list

new way to make an extra $50k+/year:
๐ sell backlinks on Outrank
we just opened Outrank's backlink marketplace to everyone
if your domain has DR 40+ and real traffic, connect it for free and get paid per placement
the rate is $1 per DR, per post
so a DR 50 site running 3 posts/day = $4,500/month = $54,000/year

Let me teach you about wash trading
Friends bid $12k on outbid then send the money back
Most of you have not been on the internet long enough ๐
