Make money doing the work you believe in

Google has deindexed my entire Substack. 4 years of work, hundreds of posts are gone from search overnight.

The nightmare for every content creator materialized for me some days ago. Starting from the 1st of May, Google decided to deindex my Substack. No warning. No manual action. No explanation.

It seems I’m collateral damage from the algorithm change.

What’s the main topic of my newsletter? Something controversial? Of course not.

The Web Scraping Club is a niche technical newsletter about web scraping and browser automation. Every post is researched, written, and tested by me and my team, no AI slop, no SEO tricks, no shortcuts. The newsletter has been on Substack's tech bestseller list for a while, which tells me readers find value in it.

But none of that matters when Google decides you no longer exist.

It seems there’s nothing I can do, except hope that this will revert sooner or later. In the meantime, I just need the classic word of mouth for spreading it.

If you've ever found one of my posts useful, the best thing you can do right now is share it with one person who works in scraping, automation, or data engineering. That's it.

Substack Any help would be appreciated.
