GSR Network three-month Google Search impressions and clicks
Every morning, I take time out to go into Google Search Console and check on the impression and click numbers of all the GSR Network platforms. These numbers indicate to me what is happening across the network when it comes to that data. Obviously, there are peaks and valleys in building out GSR Network. I chose to share these with you today as a reflection of some high-highs and low-lows that I have experienced as a founder, builder, programmer, content editor, journalist, and marketer. These numbers do not show, obviously, the hours and months I have put into GSR Network, which is my own company started out of the ether of time and space. I'm open to comments about these. Also, ads will be going up on the platforms soon. That's still in the works.

Since your Google numbers swing between high-highs and low-lows, put an email signup on all seven sites before the ads go live, so a reader who finds you through search once can get a weekly roundup straight from you. A list you own gives you steadier traffic on the slow days and a real subscriber number to show sponsors later.
Thanks for sharing real numbers, Joe. The one I would look at first is the site with 2.34K impressions at average position 12.1 and only 1 click: that is page two, so open Pages, sort by impressions and find the few URLs sitting around positions 8 to 20. Those are the cheapest clicks you have, usually fixed by a clearer title, a fresher update and a few internal links from your stronger posts. The 11.8K site looks like a news spike that faded, which is normal for timely stories, so pairing each spike with one evergreen explainer on the same topic gives you something that keeps ranking after the news cools.

Thanks Ryan Allis for your suggestion. I had started up a daily newsletter that needed my own hands in there to form it. What I can do is wire up the newsletter to put together past 24 hour highlights from all platforms, then go in there to make sure it is read and touched by human hands. It can go out when it does, then when I wake up, go back in there. Also, thanks Aleksandr Krykun for your suggestions and your support on the data from the images. I get a daily readout on the data from ChatGPT when posting them in the LLM.
