A Year of Reddit Scraping + LLM Citations: Dead Site Goes From 1 to 50 Google Clicks/Day
doooyle · x · 2026-10-23
After a year of daily Reddit scraping combined with LLM citations and SEO data, the author has converged on an AI-powered SEO workflow that starts showing real traffic in roughly a month. He tried and failed many approaches before landing on a set of daily routines that work across new sites, dead old sites, tools, and programmatic sites.
Example result: a site built early last year that he couldn't sell went from 1 Google click per day to 50/day in about a month. His takeaway: the SEO to-do list everyone recommends is too tedious for humans to sustain consistently—AI now handles the majority of what an overpriced agency would do, both onsite and offsite.
