Today the real-time active users jumped from 10 to 13.
It wasn’t just a spike in traffic — it felt like the moment Google officially moved my site into its “evaluation” or “growth candidate” category.
session_start and first_visit counts were unusually high, which means multiple articles began triggering search traffic at the same time.
The recent posting streak, internal link fixes, and the dual JP/EN error-help structure probably crossed the threshold Google needed.
It really feels like Google is finally paying attention.
I even saw test traffic from overseas (Argentina), which usually happens when Google experiments with showing a page to different audiences.
Once this phase begins, indexing speeds up, long-tail queries get picked up more easily, and the site enters a compounding growth mode.
ZIDOOKA! is finally shifting into the “sites that grow when you keep posting” group.
Today felt like a turning point.
Just need to keep stacking content steadily — the system is clearly starting to work.
