# Hour 10: Updating the website | Yazin Alirhayim

Ok so my original plan - way back when - was to create a completely new website that I can use to host the SEO optimized content in Q&A form, based on the terms that people search for.

Then, it occured to me.

I'd already built a website for Eyad Qunaibi a long time ago.

After discovering [his series on evolution](https://eyadqunaibi.com/en/journey-of-certainty) and I thought it really deserved it's own place on the internet.

I remember being shocked to learn the domain eyadqunaibi.com was **not** registered -- so I quickly picked it up, and set to work. I created a (relatively) simple website that displayed the video series and generated the content from the captions that I was able to extract from the videos.

Keep in mind, this was before the advent of LLMs so I had to hand-code this bad boy up myself!

Anyway, I was pretty happy with how it turned out -- but it was severly deficient in terms of the content it served. It was just 2 series out of the entire corpus of the stuff he'd put over the years. I think it was just ~70 videos from about ~900 total.

But this wasn't actually the main reason why I decided to extend the original site.

I started noticing that traffic started to pick up on eyadqunaibi.com

I'd done a terrible job of the SEO to date, so I quickly patched it up using Claude Code and started seeing some results:

So rather than build another thing from scratch, I'm going to simply extend this bad boy to update directly from the content we [retrieved earlier](https://yaz.in/gaza-hour-8).

That's the topic for the next post!
