[Journey] 1 million UVs/month in 12 months using AI generated content. Let's do it!

I get that the therapist helped you, but why you need those 2 for? Seem like a bunch of swindlers, hope you don't pay them a fortune.

I think everybody on bhw could be labeled under these just because of all the juicy money making methods and ideas. Also excitement is considered anxiety, which is funny.

Luckily? There is no luck here, I think you're super normal and healthy by the way you write and how you described your activities, just very passionate about projects, which is super normal cause they are exciting. Fact.

Maybe someone convinced you that you have mental problems, or maybe you convinced yourself but probably just an exaggeration.

You have no idea what you're talking about. You have no idea what a severe panic attack can do to a person's mind. Just because I can write coherently, sell, and code doesn't mean I'm a healthy person.

I recommend watching this: https://aeon.co/videos/the-dark-side-of-ego-loss-what-its-like-to-disappear-into-depersonalisation - these are the kinds of things I experience during my most extreme panic attacks.

Because only 2.58% have persistent adult ADHD but then there is also symptomatic ADHD which 3 times more ppl have and grew exponentially during covid. Why? Because therapists had to put a diagnose. This is not an exact science, we probably all have ADHD on this forum but that doesn't mean much because it's probably symptomatic not persistent, but you couldn't tell the difference and might think you have big mental problems.

This is not like you have schizophrenia or anything. It's more common than you think.

Everybody has low dopamine days.

So what if he changed 8 therapists? What if he had stayed with just 1? Does that tell you anything about his mental health really? What if you don't have a therapist at all, does that make you healthy?

My point is I see a lot of people thinking they have mental problems and focusing on it when it's not that big of a deal.

It's enough to think that successful people have mental issues to then believe you have them when you getting some success. Self fulfilling prophecy.

So the thing with my therapists is, I was with the first 1 for a VERY long time, and they solved most of my problems as much as we could. The rest I'm treating as support/coaching, and I was changing them because every one of them was specializing in a specific field that I wanted to improve in, like motivation, relationships, parenting, etc.

Yeah man, just wanted to cheer you up a bit. Maybe I don't know about all that, I always call bluff on victim mentality, but ofc it's not always the case. I'm biased cause I see too many people around me trying to convince themselves they have an issue when they don't.

Hope you get better and better.

I absolutely don't feel like a victim now. I did before therapy though.

I think I'm one of the luckiest, most successful people I know, and I have an amazing family. I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. All the physical and mental problems made me stronger in the end, even though i still need some drugs (I'm planning to get entirely clean within the next year).

I'm sensing that we would agree on one thing for sure. I also see too many people saying they are anxious or depressed when they are just sad or stressed. There is a huge difference between being "depressed" and being clinically depressed (can't get out of bed, take a shower for a week, can't help yourself anymore, etc). Would be nice if people called being sad what it is and being depressed the actual severe disease. But, anyway, I think it's still better to take their word for it. You never know, they can have actual serious problems.

Thanks and cheers.

Let's get back to the actual topic at hand

Sorry if these two questions have already been asked. I have read most of the journal but it's possible I missed them.

1. You say aged domains work better. I'm sure that's probably right but can I ask how you tested it and how you define better? Better as in they rank better or index quicker etc?

2. You said paraphrasing or AI is essential for long term. Is that primarily because of legal issues or more to do with ranking?

Thanks for taking the time to maintain such a good journey filled with excellent technical knowledge and making a really motivational thread for everyone

1. Long story, short - in my subjective opinion - expired better than fresh, aged better than expired. Faster indexing, faster rankings.
2. Legal issues + garbage/duplicate content could be possibly flagged on a manual rating check.

thank you!

Do you think WordAI is good enough for this?

For burn and churn. For long-term stuff it's risky.

@Sartre how do you categorizes paa to get topic/relevancy/keyworda?

My app reads the articles in the SERPs and I'm using the Yake library to analyze the common keywords.

 

[darkinferno]

Look at the structure of my article. I get a main keyword like "running knee pain" and find sub-topics. The for each subtopic I'm looking online for a paragraph that ranks and answers the question.

Nah, I'm thinking about looking for actual studies. For health it's easy, because we have PubMed, but for other stuff I don't really know how to pull this off.

I don't think even gpt-4 would be able to handle this. I'm not doing text generation, only paraphrasing.

people are banking HARD on AI-generated sites... I hope I'm not too late to the game before Google penalizes this.

The first site got to 5mil visits/month in 6 months

Im interested with this kind of method. Unfortunate i just know the method today.

But as i checked couple domains above, some of them only last for 4-6 months, then they got penalized (?). The traffic and organic search decreased in huge numbers.

SO our chance is only 4-6 months to bank?

My domains since starting this journey: https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/7db9eb94-334e-4ba1-9847-d0155f291a83/page/LuRfC

I'm starting a second journey, hopefully next week where I will take one of these sites to the next level Cause everyone is asking me how to take an AI/blackhat site and turn it whitehat and really make money on it.

How many articles have you done so far, as in published?

are you asking sites I own, or everything in general (mine + clients + friends)?

 

[Tichowas]

The content on my website is Al generated and I'm losing rankings. I don't know the problem.

Do you then use these keywords to try to rank in the PAA? Still trying to figuring this PAA thing out ;-)

Great journey But how can you ensure that your automated content generation process is creating high-quality content?

you mean to get the snippets? yup, all the time

Great journey But how can you ensure that your automated content generation process is creating high-quality content?

It's a long process and a complicated algorithm. In the end if you want to be 100% sure you either need a human to check the articles to a second AI that evaluates the quality.

I started to lose rankings after the recent google update.

Hi @Satre,

Have been a quiet reader for quite some time now...

I wanted to give you kudos for sharing your mental health problems so openly - as someone who has also been affected, I love to see people sharing their stories.

Got started with my own PAA pages a couple of weeks - very thankful for all the info you shared - I just have 3 quick questions:
FYI - Not talking about copy+pasted PAAs, but rather scraped questions + ai answers (got a great fine-tuned model) + all my sites are non-English (tier 1 country language)

1. Most of the sites index very slowly (all aged domains with some DA, but not nothing special) - any tips on getting pages indexed faster? (Tried indexing API, but impressions drastically drop off after 2-3 weeks)

2. The pages which indexed well have very volatile impressions - 500 day 1, 2,5k day 2, 150 day 3, 2,9k day 4.... Any idea whats happening here?

3. Have looked through a bunch of "very successful" paa site, almost all have very strong domains - do you think it makes sense to invest a couple hundred into a high DA domain?

 

[zacatictac]

You can try Phenibut if you did not already. It's product GABA, make you less anxiety and has some nootropic effects. But you can't take it for long period because it has almost no effects after 2 weeks because of tolerance.

Also can you please tell your schedule, what time do you wake up? Do you exercise? How much time in a day you spend on programming / creating websites

Man I had a horrible experience with this stuff. I used it way more than I should, granted, but when I stopped cold turkey I was in a literal hell for a few days. I felt more panic, anxiety and pure dread more than I ever have in my life. It was at the point where I honestly considered getting myself committed to deal with it.

Just went through all the pages of this thread again just to follow the evolution of your app. This is definitively a success story and inspiring. I can't wait for your second journey. Thank you for sharing your process.

How long did it take you to go thru all the 61 pages?

wow. that tells us a lot /s

answer to 1 and 2 is - it's the basic SEO things that Google does - giving you a boost to test for user signals and your site fails hence you go down. Still better to index early.

3. Yup. Backlinks help a lot. DA doesn't mean anything. You can have high DA with spam backlinks. Look at them manually. Aged domains help.

"I used it way more than I should" - why?

I used it as well but after trying KeyBERT, i think Yake is pretty garbage. If you haven't already tried: https://github.com/MaartenGr/KeyBERT

pretty hot take

Yake outperforms KeyBERT in some use cases.
