I'm giving away linkth.at, the link in bio tool I built with Cursor for my course.

Interested? hello@practicalprogrammatic.com

I’ve had a few enquiries about playbooks.com but no serious offers for the domain yet.

Not much of a domainer but think it would be good for sales/marketing type project.

Where is the best place to sell a name like this?

(already tried to reach @dharmesh.com for HubSpot! 😂)

Holy shit, if o3 is as good as these benchmarks seem then we’re all out of a job!

Hey yes we are planning some case studies specifically using Create Pages next year too!

We just shipped a TON of new WordPress features on createpages.com, including:

- Static or variable category/tags per page
- Support for ACF, Yoast & Rank Math
- Set first image as featured
- Set custom slugs and post authors
- Randomize post dates

Webflow next... 👀

😂 I used to have a virtually free and reliable DR API but it's been down for months and months now!

Moz DA is much cheaper to get ;)

Thank you. A long way to go to $1m ARR 😮

Interesting idea. I assume you're scraping the DR as the API is outrageously expensive!

Good question. The v1 launch was very cheap and still working towards a b2b tool and the higher cost plans that go with it!

Getting very close to $1k MRR on Create Pages

Still don’t think we’re close to product-market fit but making progress slowly.

IF… IF… I were to do some very limited programmatic SEO consulting next year, would anybody be interested?

Looking to work with SaaS businesses with some good traction as I think that’s a sweet spot right now.

Drop me an email hello[at]practicalprogrammatic[.]com

Cheers, Mubs! Check out the link in bio project, Jules. Will be helpful for you maybe to work more with Laravel.

Also highly recommend laracasts.com to actually learn how to code 😂

Cursor: deletes random parts of your code not to do with the edit and breaks your component

Windsurf:

Launch went well but it turns out most people want to learn pSEO and how to use AI for tools and not so much “learn to code” and if felt like moving it into my existing course was better.

I refunded a lot of people though who didn’t want to switch.

Next year I'm going to sell playbooks·com.

Great domain, I just don't have the right idea for it and want to focus on other things.

Email me ian@playbooks·com if interested!

I already tried @dharmesh but he didn't reply 😥

Sorry for both of you. My cat died of cancer earlier this year and we lost our dog a week ago too. :(

Basically create content, charts, images, tools, all based around the data unique to the page in question.

So if I had win/loss data on all premier league teams I could do some pretty interesting stuff to make each page unique and dynamic.

Free SEO Tools - Practical Programmatic A collection of free SEO tools to help you with your programmatic SEO journey.

Windsurf has potential! The UI is much tidier than Cursor too.

I'm working on a bunch of free SEO tools and just winding down for Christmas

It's STILL a niche tactic and almost nobody is doing it (but you really should be!)

1. Use your own, unique data
2. Combine it with AI + conditional logic
3. Create targeted pages at scale

Seeing so many examples of pSEO thriving through algorithm updates

Yep, been doing the same. Easier to code it than wrestle back and forth with “no, what are you doing?? Do this…”

Both Cursor and Windsurf have been pretty bad for me lately and spent hours wrangling relatively simple tasks.

I think Anthropic is struggling with load and changing things on the backend to compensate.

Today it was trying to send errors to ray() when I have never had that package installed 😵‍💫
