I own and make my own website. But Google search stopped ranking me high about two years ago (down from 3k/day to about 70), and sometimes I feel that my life's work just gets reduced to small icons at the end of GenAI responses. But I continue to do it because I love to write and create, and sometimes readers (if they find my site) reach out. I got a "thank you" from someone in the Congo!

I am in the same boat, although I never managed 3k a day. At some point Google just stopped indexing most of my old posts.

I also love getting real feedback from readers and make a point of emailing owners of blogs I enjoy.

What is your website about?
