Day 10 of building UpstartRadar in public. The numbers 2,162 visitors since launch (55 so far today) 78 live projects, 47 claimed by their makers 46 members, 9 newsletter subscribers (flat this week, so the new free guide is my attempt to change that) The embarrassing bit UpstartRadar has a free website checker, Radar Check, that scores sites out of 100 on search, sharing, speed and trust. I ran it on RuleRadar, my own Reddit tool, and got 76. Trust was the weakest area. The reason: RuleRadar's listing pointed to its Gumroad page. Gumroad controls that page, so I couldn't add the security settings, contact link or privacy link that the trust checks look for. The fix was to give RuleRadar its own page on my site, with checkout still on Gumroad. I re-ran the check: 100. If your product lives on a marketplace page, you're being judged on a page you don't control. What I built yesterday I spent yesterday upgrading RuleRadar and writing a free Reddit Launch Guide: 10 short chapters with checklists, from what actually happened when I launched on Reddit. That includes why the subs that let me post links anytime sent me zero traffic. RuleRadar is free for UpstartRadar's first 100 members, and there are 55 Founding Member places left. Join free to claim one. What's the most surprising thing a website checker has told you about your own site?   submitted by   /u/CardiologistFun8185 [link]   [comments]
