Four codes farms, two wiki sites, one Fandom — my keyword got crowded in 6 days. Here's my plan.

Six days after launching a fan site for Command An Army, a Roblox war game, the site had reached 1,514,606 visits. Concurrent players had increased from 3,860 to 6,211 overnight. The game's popularity was evident, but my keyword had quickly attracted attention from several established codes farms.

Day 1 saw no guide-farm articles for my keyword. By Day 2, four major codes farms had created pages for my keyword: Pocket Tactics, Pro Game Guides, Try Hard Guides, and MrGuider. The situation escalated further as a fully-built fan wiki appeared on the .wiki domain variant, covering unit tiers, codes, and seven guides.

The primary focus of these sites was codes and tier lists. There was little documentation on game mechanics, such as star limits capping deployment, formations, and troop upgrades. Recognizing this gap, I decided to fill it on my site at https://commandanarmy.com/. I vowed to only provide verified in-game information and label everything else as untested.

The reasoning behind my plan was based on search trends. Codes searches were known to spike and decay with updates, while mechanics searches were expected to compound as the player base grew. With a daily visit count of over 480K, I believed my audience would grow faster than the competing farms could copy each other. I planned to update the site's numbers periodically, regardless of the outcome of my bet.
