Traffic dropped from 900 to 650 per day.

Then, I added some helpful content adding how my product can help translate one language to another on July 19th.

Traffic dropped to 350 from 600.

Now, I got the previous slim content back thinking that probably user intent was hit. Google crawled my pages on July 23rd.

I see further drops in traffic to 300.

What is happening seriously?

2-3 backlinks also got added in between.

Traffic continues to decline.

Ask me any additional details. I will provide.

Have long been a fan of yours.

Waited long to perfect my video/audio translation product as a solopreneur. Now, we have a testable product with 10,000+ monthly users.

We are not perfect yet but we provide a ton of features. We provide AI-generated subtitles. We let the user edit the subtitles and timestamps. User can edit the translated audio/video unlimited times without additional fees. We are in the process of making voice cloning free for all users, hopefully completing this weekend. We are launching a chrome extension and mobile app too.

Though we already get 10k users each month, we are offering the product to be tried out at a heavily discounted price tag so that we receive as many feedbacks as possible to become the best in the market.

Currently, we are marketing only through organic avenues like SEO, being a bootstrapped company. We have created landing pages for each category : https://videodubber.ai/translate-video/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-audio/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-subtitles/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-voice/ and then for each language like https://videodubber.ai/translate-spanish-audio-to-english/ .

Recently we concluded our translation efforts making most of the website links available in spanish and shifting the whole site to next.js (a heavy technical debt changing from flask and ninja2 to next.js)

We are at 700 clicks each day. Majority of these clicks convert to a free account but free to paid conversion is wayy less right now at less than 1%.

We have done many analysis to find out why but failed to pinpoint exact reason. Turning to you, the Great Hackernews Community, to solve this mystery.

Most of our competitors charge 10x our price tag and offer similar or lesser quality(internal evaluation). Still, our conversion rate is less than 1%.

Need to seriously solve this mystery to stay afloat. We are making a ton of new products and training a text to speech engine to better vocalize sentences with contextual emotion. But these initiatives need fund which we lack until we solve this conversion mystery.

You can test the product yourself by going to the link. Ask me anything, I will give you internal data on traffic breakup and everything.

Hotter summers also make the effects of global warming harder for the public to ignore, Dr. Hansen said via email. “People notice the extremes,” he wrote.

Dr. Hansen’s temperature curves also flatten out over time, as they move rightward, toward higher heat. Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at Berkeley Earth, said this largely reflects that some parts of the world are warming faster than others.

Overall, Dr. Hausfather said, the data provides “a good visualization of how when we focus just on the global average, we’re missing a lot of what’s happening.”
