Website Traffic Problems and Website Design Concerns with Cloudflare Free Tier

Over the past few months, I’ve built a collection of simple static web tools, content archives, and utility sites. I’m currently looking to step up their UI/UX, drive actual traffic, and figure out realistic monetization routes for small-scale projects like these.

Here are a few examples of what I’m working with:

  • [Site 1 Name]: [https://speculativenaturalist.pages.dev/]
  • [Site 2 Name]: [https://thoughtarchive-65m.pages.dev/](https://thoughtarchive-65m.pages.dev/)
  • [Site 3 Name]: [https://hardwarecheck.pages.dev/](https://hardwarecheck.pages.dev/)
  • [Site 4 Name]: [https://devcanvasprivacy-studio.pages.dev/](https://devcanvasprivacy-studio.pages.dev/)
  • [Site 5 Name]: [https://mundanearchive.pages.dev/](https://mundanearchive.pages.dev/)

Where I’m stuck:

  1. Traffic & SEO: Static .pages.dev sites are quick to deploy, but what are the best zero-budget ways to start getting steady organic traffic for niche tools/archives?
  2. Monetization Options: Aside from basic display ads (like Google AdSense), what subtle monetization methods work well for micro-sites? (e.g., affiliate links, Buy Me a Coffee, micro-freemium features?)
  3. Design & UX Flaws: What immediately jumps out to you as broken, amateur, or missing on these layouts?

I’d really appreciate any brutal, honest feedback on what isn't working and where I should focus my effort to turn these into actual, viable projects.

Thanks in advance for taking a look!

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
