One AI-written blog post brought in 2 biggest paying users with ~2x median CTR

Founder @01ayushgarg shares that a single blog post — written by the SEO tool Outrank, not by him — brought in his two biggest paying customers, despite not being close to his most-viewed page. Its CTR is nearly 2x the median of his top posts.
His core point: traffic and revenue are different games. Big-volume keywords look great on impression charts but attract browsers; people searching narrow, specific problems need your product today. The attached Search Console screenshot shows just 76 clicks, 8.68K impressions, 0.9% CTR and position 14.6 — yet outsized conversion value.
