Reddit revenue-tagged glossary before traffic celebration
Tag glossary traffic against revenue before celebrating definition-page growth.
Why this can grow a startup
Glossary pages can make a dashboard look healthy while the business stays flat. The r/SaaS discussion is valuable because it calls out a common trap: “what is X” pages can attract students, researchers, and casual readers who never buy. That does not mean glossary pages are bad. It means they need commercial routing and measurement. Tag each definition page by intent, track downstream trials or advisory leads, and build links from high-traffic definitions into pages that match real buyer jobs. If a glossary page cannot move anyone closer to a product, it may still support authority, but the team should not confuse that with revenue.
Company example
In a r/SaaS thread, an operator described discovering that organic traffic was growing while revenue barely moved because informational pages attracted the wrong visitors.
