[Journey] New Streaming Website => 10k Daily Visitors.

Last week I made a post about my new website and I got motivated to do a journey and maybe take it to the next level, you can see the thread here https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/please-rate-my-movie-streaming-website.1034113/

So I'm making a movie streaming website that is PWA, what that means is that it can be installed as an app on phone so it's like a hybrid between website and application. You can test it here: http://www.123movies.rocks and don't forget to share with me what you think.

It took a lot of work to make it work with this kind of technology, but I think that it is worth it because if peoples start installing the "app" on their phone then I will be getting returning visitors and won't have to rely on getting new traffic everyday.

The website is fully automated, that means that all the content you see there is posted automatically without any trouble. It wasn't easy to make it this way but now I can worry about other stuff than updating content.

My main goal is to focus on providing the best user experience, ultimately I want new visitors to keep watching stuff only on my website and don't go to competitors websites.

My kind of todo list:

• Add some loading animation, the website is good with a fast connection but on 3g it looks like it freezes because there is no navigation indicator.
• Automatically replace dead links, this was suggested by a member on my older thread and I think it would really help my users so I'll be working on it

My goals with this journey:
As I said before my main goal is to get to 10k+ daily visitors, I don't expect to make much money from it but it would be a great experience as I am more a developer than a internet marketer. I also don't want to get into trouble so if it actually succeed I'll probably sell the website to someone who's more experienced and can protect himself.

Impressed by the load speed of both the site and a random movie a clicked

Very nice site. Impressive work thus far. I will be falling. Wishing you the best of success in you endeavor.

Thanks, I tried to really optimize it and still have a couple of things that I can do.

NP. I will be following your journey and maybe even using your service

UPDATE:
Today I fixed navigation on website and made movie posters look better, they looked blurry sometimes. Next is making dead links get replaced automatically.

Looks really good and the "automated content" system is impressive. A lot of people would want that. Maybe its something that you can sell

theme is nice..
i will follow your journey.

Thanks, I'm still learning for now and might offer something later on, but for now I'll focus on using it rather than selling it.

Interesting journey I thought about making a movie streaming too but I failed because i was focused on the way to monetize the website before even it went up, so I like the way you started it.
As a question for the links of streaming hosting like openload is it the reuploaded link or the actual scrapped links from 123movies and other websites, and do you plan to re-uploading them later to make some bucks from those streaming hosting?
Keep up it, I'm following the journey and good luck .

I was trying to make website on Next.js too, but my nerves could not stand it and I recoded everything to the good old jquery. The time of development on React/Next.js is longer 10x times for me. In my opinion, all existing js frameworks for enterprise only, if you need to code website fast and simple for your own needs - use the simplest stack. By the way, how well Google indexing Next.js? And did you benchmark server? How many requests per sec does it hold? I always thought, server side rendering is a huge bottleneck.

It's only hard at the start, once I got used to it then it became as easy as jquery. I wouldn't say the same thing about angular though, I think angular is made for entreprises. As for the SSR it actually makes the website faster for the users, the "bottleneck" is on the server side so if the website becomes too big I'll need load balancers and caching and maybe other optimizations.

I've updated the website to automatically replace dead link on user request. I think this would make the user experience much better.
Btw it's been over a week and google didn't index my website yet, is this normal? or should I do something?

No, this is not normal at all. I think it's because of new domain zone. I had a bad expierence with new zones, Google doesn't want to index them fast and limiting crawl rate to 2 requests per sec, of course if you don't have a ton of quality backlinks.
I launched my movies/tv website 10 days ago and Google already indexed 2+ mln links, domain is drop in .com zone with no backlinks. Never had problems with indexing on .com .net .org domains.

I'm not sure, I'll wait a couple of days and if it stays like this I'll look for a solution. Anyway thanks for sharing your experience mate.

Possible to build something like this for live events (soccer games, rugby, etc...?)

I think that would be a yes, I didn't do much research on it though,

Sorry to bump up. I know it's been 5 months since the last post of OP here but can we get an update? I tried to check the site but it's 403 Forbidden. What happen? How's your earnings?
