The pithos.sia mirror moves from /pithos-sia/ to /pithos/, a name people
can remember; /pithos-sia/ and /pithos.sia/ redirect so old links keep
working.
Second SEO target after Sirius. Pithos positioned honestly as
"decentralized cloud storage you own" — the software is free, the
Sia storage underneath is pay-only-for-use (cents per GB/month).
Overpromising "free cloud storage" would catch Sirius-style backlash
when visitors hit the Sia bill, so the hook is sovereignty + 5–10×
cheaper, not free.
site-pithos-sia/index.html:
* Title / meta / H1 rewritten benefit-first: "Decentralized cloud
storage you own — Pithos". Keyword meta added.
* canonical set to /pithos-sia/ with trailing slash — matches
nginx's own 301 target (opposite of /sirius, which strips it).
* Hero copy leads with no-subscription, no-credit-card, pay-per-GB.
* FAQ expanded from 10 to 14 questions. Five new keyword-phrased
ones at the top ("Is Pithos really free?", "How much does Sia
cost compared to Dropbox?", "Is my data encrypted?", "Is Pithos
a good Dropbox alternative?", "Do I need a credit card?"); the
existing operational FAQ stays verbatim.
* JSON-LD: SoftwareApplication schema (version 0.3.12, price $0,
linked to Sia + s3d upstreams) + FAQPage mirroring all 14 Q&A.
Both parse cleanly.
* Top nav gains Compare link; cost FAQ links to the comparison.
site-pithos-sia/vs.html (new): 7-way comparison across Dropbox,
Google Drive, Mega, iCloud/OneDrive, Backblaze B2, Storj, and
Pithos+Sia. Columns for price per TB, signup, credit-card
requirement, encryption model, key custody, censorship risk,
S3-compat, open source, sync-across-devices, collab editing.
Includes BreadcrumbList + Article JSON-LD and a cost-at-size table
showing the 5–10× advantage at common storage sizes.
site/sitemap.xml: raised pithos to 0.95 priority (same tier as
sirius) and added /pithos-sia/vs. Trailing slashes corrected to
match the server's canonical form.
First SEO push on silentmode.st, targeting Sirius as the primary
product landing page (chosen over navigate.st because a project with
pages ranks; a search box doesn't).
site/sirius/index.html:
* Title and meta description rewritten benefit-first — "Anonymous
domain names on Bitcoin Cash — Sirius" at 50 chars, meta at 170.
* H1 moved from brand-only "Sirius" to the primary keyword
"Anonymous domain names on Bitcoin Cash".
* Tag line rewritten to lead with no-KYC, no-renewals, pay-once,
register-your-own-TLD — the differentiators prospective
registrants actually search for.
* canonical + keywords meta added.
* FAQ section (10 questions) phrased exactly as people search:
"How much does a .bch domain cost?", "Can my domain be seized?",
"Can I register my own TLD?", etc. details/summary accordion,
styled inline against the existing palette.
* JSON-LD: Service schema (lowPrice $25, highPrice $500, 9 TLDs)
+ FAQPage schema mirroring the 10 FAQ answers verbatim. Both
parse cleanly.
* The in-page "vs ordinary registrar" section now links to the
full comparison page below.
site/sirius/vs.html (new): 7-way comparison across GoDaddy, Namecheap,
Cloudflare, ENS, Unstoppable Domains, Handshake, and Sirius. Targets
"X vs Y" long-tail queries. Includes BreadcrumbList + Article JSON-LD,
"where each option wins" honest-tradeoff section, and 10-year cost
projection table.
site/robots.txt (new): allow-all + explicit entries for the AI
scrapers, sitemap pointer.
site/sitemap.xml (new): primary silentmode.st surfaces with priorities
weighted to the SEO targets.
