Checked out the current growth of the flag generator and the generator manager from last Thursday. It was gone from 8290 views to 8613 views today this 11 AM, meanwhile my generator hub page had 16005 views and now has 16375 views. It’s crazy to think when comparing these though.

And after some calculating, the flag generator has gained another +323 views and my generator hub page’s +370 views, since last Thursday. Still the fastest! 😃 But I’m still amazed how that simple generator can grow so fast that it’s close to my hub page. And it’s unpredictable whether or not the flag generator will soon surpass the growth or even overtake the generator hub page…

And in the chart, I can see that the growth has been going faster and faster recently, eventually surpassing the name generator. I updated the Generator Manager once every 3-6 hours, and I have almost left the flag generator unedited like a few days, only been updating it once a day.

If you didn’t know, the gray one is the generator manager, orange is the flag generator, and red is the name generator.

Edit: Correcting my calculations. This kind of thing is still sort of out of my control, though.

Now a few days later:

I first tried ‘playin da game’ and retitled Beautiful People to be SEO competitive and called it something like FREE AI ART GENERATOR with that causing the title in the tab to look just slightly more like an ad instead of a beautiful thing. And I noticed I went from 200 to 400 views per day down to 200 per day. I believe it is a combination of the title looking less beautiful in the tab and a discovery I will mention later. Next I looked up Beautiful Perchance and was very very happy when Beautiful People came up as the very first result. That is exactly what I want. It may mean basically nothing as far as influx of people via search results, but I love beautiful things and ‘Beautiful’ being my word in relation to Perchance warms my heart to the tips of my toes. So then I saw how google did not just cut off long titles, (internet research says 50 characters), but also descriptions (120). My description is now 118 and title is 49. If you use a tool to do your wordlengths, you should use BluePower’s imo because that’s supportive. Which brings me back to what I have noticed, which is that, on a google search, Beautiful-People still shows up on google with it’s old title and description as seen above. This then explains why views per day went down instead of up when I changed the title to something that would in theory catch SEO better but looked more adlike. Does anyone know how long it takes for google to recrawl an individual perchance page for title and description changes to take effect on SEO? I have since found what I believe is a happy medium on the title of Beautiful-People which is beautiful for the first half of the title which is visible in the tab and only includes the adlike marketingfeely stuff afterward. On both Desktop and Mobile I can only see the beautiful part.

Anyway, that was my journey in to it so far, with some advice, a question, and an interesting realization that the part important TO ME as far as search results is not necessarily being top of a popular competitive word but, instead, a word I specifically resonate extrastrongly with. Perhaps the same will be true for you.

That’s what I’ve been thinking for a long, long while, and finally explained in a single post. And that’s why the AI generators out there have hundreds of thousands or even millions of views, surpassing the plugin pages (and even the welcome page!), that I always wonder, “why do these generators have such long description? Are these ‘really special’ generators?”

But what about generator pages that has no $meta.description but laid out the page’s content or source code as a description in search results?

Now still questioning about why do my simple flag generator can surpass even my full-featured name generator just recently… 🤔

Note that if you’ve specified a descriptive $meta.title, then you can use whatever you want in your <h1>, since the $meta.title takes precedence for search engines. So in that case it’s fine for your <h1> to be “The Arch Bible”.

In other words, the title of your page from the perspective of search engines (“Religion Generator […]”) doesn’t have to be the same as the “visual” title of your page that you show with your HTML code (“The Arch Bible”).

@[email protected] Do traction from the generators page also really count? I see some new, fresh generators (even the simple ones) slowly gained some views (like 20 to 30 on first-day launch) and I’m assuming they are likely getting the first attentions from people visiting on the generators page. And since updating the generator brings it to the top of the recently updated generators, doing this regularly could potentially contribute to that, since more and more people are likely to find the new generator, some are feeling curious because of the link and thumbnail, and sometimes ended up clicking on it. Thus getting a few views, even when it’s not yet being indexed or the generator has very minimal organizing of the title/description, and after a while, one of the two factors mentioned could also happen.

I want to find this out for a while, because people have said that if I want more people to see my generators, I’ll need to update the generator at least once or several times a day in order to get some “attention” from it.

So, in short, updating a generator to get to the generators page could be helpful to hook people from that page to view it and eventually get indexed by the search engine, and then you can try to get into the two factors to get that generator popular.

thank you for this informative and helpful post. Stating for benefit of others: Going over mine just now I had never noticed that the title in meta does not show up on the Generators page but it doesn’t. I had been having my meta title match the page name usually assuming people browsing perchance would be seeing it, but they don’t. So it is safe to use a wordier title in the meta tag than the name of your page and won’t mess with how you are seen on the generators page. basically no one on perchance will see it and you should optimize it for search engines

edit: title is visible in the tab.

so too bad mines title in the tab looks slightly less beautiful but changed it and let’s see what happens!
