Added an autonomous AI agent to my website and traffic's up crazy high - from 200 to 2K avg per day now

You might already be doing this, thought I’d just share my experience anyway.

I been playing around with ai and stuff for over an year now but never really thought to use it for traffic on my websites - i just used it mainly for development.

Recently I got an offer from someone to buy one of my websites and it didn’t go through just because of the traffic, so I thought okay maybe I should try something - so I added one of the agentic framework I’m familiar with (on other stuff) to this website.

I simply started texting it on tg asking if it can help improve the traffic of the website. It gave all sorts of ideas from social media sharing to on site seo and all that silly stuff you will find on google. But among all of it also shared an idea to build a system to find like ‘about to trend’ topics (based on news sources or twitter/reddit and all) and create content accordingly in a way it will still look related to the niche of the website, so I thought sure why not and asked it to do it.

Guess what, it made more number of visitors in four days than the number of visits I have had on the website in the whole last month. I added it on the 1st of April. I had an average like 150/200 visits a day for the entire month of March. In 4 days it brought over 9000 unique new visitors.

Here’s the current stats:

The best part is, it just didn’t increase the number of visits, it also increased the quality of the content (now users are spending more time on the sit like four times longer than before). My average was just 7 seconds before. Now I just need to keep this up and figure out a way to monetise this new traffic. I had adsense before so applied for it again - so let’s see.

Would really like to know if anyone here’s also leveraging on all this agentic stuff on normal marketing stuff, instead of all that ai trading crap and all.

Happy to answer your questions if you have any and if you have suggestions on monetising the traffic, please leave a comment, would really appreciate it.

What software are you using?

I’m using a free framework that’s on git, it’s called Jork. It’s an autonomous agentic framework. Works great so far. On to day 5 now and no slowing down :joy:

This is really intresting. Can share some details on what your setup is like server cost and the expenses side? Appreciate

Sure.

It was on DO initially - then moved to a new EU hosting company and now it costs me about 16$ per month (self hosted mongodb so that saves some). Site is on wordpress - figured that’s the best setup for seo and all. Running the agent on telegram - api cost for LLM is like maybe 30$ per month (i paid for a 4 months with some promotions) - but you can really use any llm you may be already using. That’s it I think.

The traffic isn’t slowing down - more than a week and it still very solid, consistent results

Appreciate. How is the traffic now also? Curious to see if you get lots of people even now

It’s going really even now :mechanical_arm:

:smiley:hats the update man?:D

If i wanted to test it, since i dont have established content type website - would it make sense to buy some cheap niche site and then implament, or start from scratch.

I think i have some premium pinger tools somewhere that coudl use to boost with, and do quick parasite seo camp.

I’d say go for it - it doesn’t matter what niche, old or new website, as long as you know the system, and are willing to put the time and effort to experiment with, it will work.

and btw, the results are even crazier now (kinda unbelievable even to me tbh) - the traffic is like 12x already and the time users spend on the site on average keeps increasing even with higher traffic.

we can get the link of jork?

Sure, it’s an opensource model: GitHub - hirodefi/Jork · GitHub you can install with just one line in your terminal - ignore the (solana founder thing - simply tell it what to do)

What made you choose this exact repo?

I know the developer of this one, so it was convenient in case i needed any tweaking
