Two Months Running an AI-API Reference Site Solo: Google Punished the Launch, Bing Didn't Care
Two Months Running an AI-API Reference Site Solo: Google Punished the Launch, Bing Didn't Care I run ai-info — an independent reference site for AI API decisions: pricing breakdowns, model-vs-model comparisons, and guides, aimed at developers who search things like "cheapest coding agent plan" or "is X worth it." No affiliate links (frozen on purpose), nothing for sale in this post. Everything…
Two months after launching an independent AI-API reference site, I, the sole operator, have faced punishment from Google while Bing has remained indifferent. The site, ai-info, publishes independent pricing breakdowns, model comparisons, and guides for developers seeking the cheapest AI coding agent or evaluating the worth of various models.
As of October 8-9, 2026, Google has only indexed three pages: the homepage, news hub, and local models hub, with no articles indexed at all. In contrast, Bing indexed a cross-posted cost-math piece within the same day and recognized backlinks from the site. The site's daily output of 42 posts, spanning six sections on DeepSeek, model comparisons, coding agents, local models, and news, has been sustained through thorough verification, monitoring of Chinese tech outlets, and dated caveats.
Despite facing Google's dismissal and Bing's neutrality, I plan to continue publishing daily and investing in backlinks to the site's skeleton pages.
