That's good advice.
I will:
- add theory around calculators
- update old pages
- add links to sources
- try to get more backlinks
Something I feel helpless about is that my Google Search Console shows some pages with 500 errors. But I can visit these pages fine in the browser and with vpn. I also did a crawl test with the Googlebot command line utility, and it was successful. Yet Search Console's crawling always finds errors in these pages. I have tried Reindexing, validating fixes, but it keeps failing. I don't know what to fix, as there are no errors or issues noticeable.
Some of these pages are:
- rref-calculator.com/calculato…
- rref-calculator.com/calculato…
- rref-calculator.com/calculato…
- rref-calculator.com/calculato…
Can you either download the individual reports from GSC (or better yet a full site audit from Ahref's), upload it to Google Drive, then DM it to me? I can give you way better advice and help you fix the errors that way.
Can you also easily access the server logs? We can cross-reference when Google crawled the site and see when errors were recorded. We'll get lots of extra info from this as well.
Is there any IP blocking, rate limiting, or bot filtering active? That could make errors pop up when there aren't actually any there.
Have you already used Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Tool to capture data from live pages and compare it to what Googlebot sees? If there's a discrepancy, we're likely looking at some firewall issue. (It sounds like this might be the case since Googlebot got an error but your browser didn't, but test it again, just to make sure.)
If alllll that checks out, then it's probably on the server side, so contact whoever you get hosting with to check resource limits or faulty scripts.
Thanks for the info. It seems apps are at the mercy of user ratings.
the reason for this is that you will get 3 bad reviews for every 1 good review if you're not actively asking happy users to leave a positive review. a negative review is the first thing ppl want to do when they hate something, but a positive review is the last thing happy customers think to do.
I checked people are using different cards from different banks, except for 3 accounts that use the same cc of Adam Bino which is not their name. Mostly these are debit cards, but there are also CC that fail. Stripe reports normal risk and no theft for these cards.
I guess for debit/prepaid cards I can turn off accepting payments in Stripe? For credit cards maybe I can start charging $1 at the start of the free trial to filter fake/stolen cards.
It's surprising to me that Stripe still has loopholes.

They say it only applies to physical products but don't approve your account for international payments without it, at least in my case.
It's easy to apply for it, there's an online form and you get it almost immediately or within 1 week I guess. Given you only apply for services export IEC.
Applied and got the EIC immediately. I thought this was a big task and kept it on hold. Thank you for the information.
