I moved 23 years of my content home and made every course free

Andrew Connell moved 426 pages, 281 course pages, 217 videos and 8,911 comments back to his own site after closing his Voitanos business, with every old URL answering with a single 301. The AI did most of the work over six months in his personal time, and his site went from about 5 percent of the organic search share to close to 90 percent in two months.

How it works

  1. Over six months the AI does most of the project work, with more than 440 merged pull requests, 140 design specs and 125 decision records
  2. 23 years of comments from Disqus, Giscus, Circle and Discord are brought into one Postgres database
  3. Every old URL is preserved with a single 301
  4. The site relaunches with all courses free

Why it’s worth knowing

One person in his spare time moved 23 years of content and comments into one database and kept every old link working, and the search share followed the content home.
