It HAPPENED: JobBoardSearch just crossed 6 figures $100K 💸 lifetime revenue crazy to think it all started as an ugly static HTML website with barely a dozen niche job boards if I had waited until it was "ready", I'd probably still be in my localhost ship early listen to users improve every week keep your expenses low that's been my strategy I still remember like today when @levelsio RTd the project and later out of the blue sent me a DM telling me I should charge job boards to submit and to rebrand, what an eye opener, for ever grateful Also I'm never going to forget the first ever payment and sponsor (4dayweek job board) that after following Pieters advice I posted on here and minutes later @philostar got the gold sponsorship and they are still getting featured nowadays. Thanks! It's impossible to mention everybody, THANKS A LOT to every job board founder who have made this possible 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Remember: don't let anybody tell you it's not possible keep learning keep adapting keep shipping one thing I've learned along the way: keep your expenses low and stay in the game long enough, IS POSSIBLE 💪🏻 On to the next milestone...

Here another useful tool if you send bulk emails mail-tester .com it gives you kinda a Spam Score you need to email your newsletter to their random generated email What does it check? - SPF: Whether the sending server is authorized to send for your domain. - DKIM: Whether your email has a valid cryptographic signature. - DMARC: Whether authentication passes and aligns with your domain's policy. - IP reputation and blocklists: Whether your sending server has reputation problems. - Email content: Whether your message has formatting issues or characteristics associated with spam. - Server configuration: Including reverse DNS and other technical signals.

Morning inbox surprise: 11 new featured niche job boards waiting to review & publish! that takes JobBoardSearch to a new all-time high → 55 featured boards at once 🥳 it costed more than 4 years to get at this level of brand awarness Branding takes time, what has been the slowest part of building yours?

BTW if you are sending bulk emails make sure to check "Google Postmaster Tools" for your domain is a free service provided by Gmail that helps high-volume email senders monitor and troubleshoot how their emails are received and processed by Gmail • Spam Rate: Tracks how often your emails are marked as spam by Gmail users. Google requires bulk senders to keep their spam rate below 0.3% (and ideally under 0.1%). • Sender & IP Reputation: Classifies your domain and sending IP reputation into groups ranging from High, Medium, Low, to Bad. • Authentication Status: Shows the percentage of your messages passing SPF, DKIM, and DMARC email authentication and alignment checks. • Encryption: Monitors whether your inbound and outbound email traffic is properly encrypted using TLS (Transport Security Layer). • Compliance Status: Gives a pass/fail view of Gmail's sender requirements, unsubscribe handling, and feedback loops. • Delivery Errors: Lists why your emails were rejected or temporarily failed (such as rate limits exceeded, low reputation, or blocked content)

Update: lauched it 🚀 my own newsletter platform on top of Amazon SES here's what changes for job board founders 👇 • featured boards show up in every email, and now emails go out daily and right away too = way more exposure • jobs from paid boards link straight to YOUR site • I track clicks per board, so you get real numbers for job seekers 👇 • jobs matched to YOUR skills and preferences (or your talent profile), not the same 40 for everyone • choose how often: right away, daily, twice a week or weekly • only new jobs, never the same job twice • nothing new that matches you = no email. zero spam • set up your preferences in 1 tap from the email the nerdy part 🤓 • bounces & complaints come back from AWS in real time and get blocked automatically • complaints = blocked forever. 3 soft bounces = treated as a hard bounce • circuit breaker: if bounces go over 4% or complaints over 0.08%, the send pauses itself and pings me on Telegram • one-click unsubscribe (the Gmail/Yahoo rule), honoured instantly • sends at 80% of my SES limit, and a crash never means a double send • security scanners that "click" every link are filtered out of the stats • people inactive for months get one "still want this?" email, then stop getting it • matching uses AI embeddings, the same engine as my Telegram job bot no AWS SDK, just PHP + SQLite 🤓

Starting the week with a new milestone 13K clicks in the last 28 days for AIBuiltGames 🥳 most of the growth didn't come from publishing more pages it came from fixing the ones Google was already showing I looked at queries in GSC with decent impressions but weak CTR, then rewrote the titles and meta descriptions to match the exact language people were searching that single pass on existing pages outperformed most of the new content I published right now SEO is less about volume and more about improving the pages that already get impressions Anyone else seeing better results from optimizing existing pages than creating new ones?

Sunday, 28°, autumn, Mallorca warm su, still feels like lsummer no lapto no notifications rest day, no matter what the businesses will still be there tomorrow family, friends, snorkeling, and a full day off this is how you stay in the game long term! have a great one 😀 Hows your Sunday looking?

I also jumped into the DARK side 🤣 EO platform → $840/yr Amazon SES → $120-150/yr the bigger win: broadcasting feature. I've been waiting it since day 1 but they never built it without it I can't dynamically generate emails based on job seeker preferences, which is not good and is costing me TIME way more jobs will be included in the newsletter instead of the actual same "40 best job of the week" for all the 15k subscribers already had my SES account approved for production also got $1K grant from the Claude Startup program I know one or two things about email deliverability (DKIM, DMARC, SPF, etc.) so I think is the right choice hope to launch next week :)

WOW it keeps growing... 12K clicks now still can't believe a tiny AI games directory is doing this from Google Search the SEO updates are still paying off but didn’t expect it to keep moving this fast still figuring out the monetization side

After the quoted tweet… yeah, no brainer migrated PropertyDescriptionAI's video generation onto @sumelabs using the model Seedance 2.5 by @BytePlusGlobal now (and updated the front-end UI) Lower costs, same model. Obvious move!

I forgot something IMPORTANT if you want to connect @openseo and Google Search Console... 1. Create a Google Cloud Console account 2. APIs & Services → Credentials → Create credentials → OAuth client ID a. Application type: Web application b. Authorized redirect URI: https://[YOUR_WORKER_OPENSEO_URL]/api/gsc/oauth/callback - c. Save Copy: Client ID & Client secret 4. Set the env vars: a. GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID b. GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET c. BETTER_AUTH_SECRET (random 32 chars string) 6. Go to OpenSEO -> Project Settings -> Integrations a. Choose property b. Save

From 10K → 11K clicks in 24 hours AIBuiltGames (tiny AI games directory) just keeps going up from Google Search since the beginning of last week I've been optimizing its SEO based on keyword research seems it's paying off Confirming: SEO is NOT dead!

Now I've set up the AI Visbility feature of @openseo (helps you choose questions to track and see whether AI answers mention your brand) it's very easy: 1. get an @OpenRouter API key 2. set it to the env var OPENROUTER_API_KEY 3. deploy and then you get: > Prompt Research > Prompt Explorer > Prompt Tracking - Prompts - Competitors - Citations Crazy they open sourced this AMAZING SEO / AIO tool
