Could you possibly share how to set this system up to create and auto post to wordpress? What software do you use ect?

Also we need wp-login password and all the sourcecode and step by step manual how system works.

 

[Jaordas]

Any chance you could let me know which other language it was that you had an EPMV of $7.39 with in the screenshot (here or via a personal message)?

Is 2 pageviews per visit a reasonable approximation in your case? So the RPM would be roughly half the EPMV? Would love to know simply because I experimented with translation into various languages a bit myself and will do so again the next weeks. Often had an AdSense RPM of only $1 or $2 in many languages, though, for a certain subject area. Wasn't much better with Ezoic back then, as far as I remember, but I only used Ezoic briefly just because of how sketchy their entire setup / company seemed.

Answered in dm

hahahahahhahaha

The nerve of some people right? got me laughing these days as if they even read the thread for one second they would know im not even using some dumb simple prompt.
No magic bullet exists, but if I told them they got to start coding to make their own results then they are gone cus it isnt easy enough.

Tremendous writing. Best wishes for you.

Thanks, I wish you great success in your projects aswell !!

Could you possibly share how to set this system up to create and auto post to wordpress? What software do you use ect?

I've more or less shared the general idea of this before, im not gonna give out all my work/ code but ive already explained the system idea.

But tldr.
-Collect keywords you want to write on
-cluster keywords (low fruits etc
-use code and gpt api to make article based on keyword
-use api to generate midjourney prompt relevant to article
-get midjourney image
-pull relevant youtube video
-code, + wp sheets editor or anything similar to mass add information to website

This is cut down cus im not gonna type over the whole thing when you can simply just go back and read it if you want more details.

There is no one software that does it all, or at least not one I know of, so you need to build your own, gpt can litterally treach you how to build it

You can also just use wordpress plugins to generate content if you dont care about quality, this can do it at scale

I do not have any recommendations for them because I dont use them.

Ezoic told me to go to onboarding I don't understand why it's not approved

Im confused, Onboarding to me sounds like you were accepted.

Can you send the actual words they sent to you?

Currently reading back the whole thread Thanks for sharing

Thank-you, I hope you learn something useful.
When you are caught up, if you have a question I havent answer before
and im willing to share then feel free asking. I will try to share what
im able to share

Also we need wp-login password and all the sourcecode and step by step manual how system works.

Thanks for giving me my first laugh of the day

Forget giving people that, I might aswell do the work and just paypal the earnings.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It hurts to read because I genuinely think someone with no knowledge of code could

build the thing in a day or less just asking GPT basic questions on how to do it.

and pasting important information like midjourney stuff into the context area on playground before

asking for specific actions in code.

If they just wanted the general idea, then they clearly didnt read my stuff because ive given the general idea in greater detail multiple times.

But this is just where the line needs to be drawn, if you just gave out the whole thing

for free, then it comepletely devalues it all even more.

why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.

NOTE FOR THOSE CONFUSED ABOUT MY RUSSIAN PAGES

I left the major ones cus I think most people would first want to translate to them, and I left russian just because I wanted to mention it.

View attachment 273349


------------

My god russian EPMVs depress me so much especially since the you know what started.

Sometimes I wonder why I even translate to it still, but somehow ive been getting enough raw traffic from them to make up for the small epmv

For that same reason I translate many of certain languages. Even if the epmv is low, since they have a lot of people it can add up the earnings.

Some of you, and people in other places are rightfully confused by my comments on russia earnings and how im even earning money from them when adsense and ezoic etc have practically blocked them for ads.

I complain about the epmvs here but this is a rare case where epmv is a vanity metric

since it is deflated by the fact I get 0$ from russian visitors themself.

All money earned on russian pages is by russians NOT in russia, or bypassing.

Let me remind you all that the earning is from the translated pages themself, not based on what country they

come from.


The true epmv of my russian visitors if I remove all the visit inflation from russia (the country that earns everyone 0$)

would be higher. Luckily, ezoic, unlike certain other networks, makes it fairly simple for me to make a custom report to see this.





So this is why im still getting money from russian pages.

As you can see, that epmv isnt too strange for a non western country.

There are a lot of russians not in russia that still can be monetized

As for the ones in russia itself:



You can clearly see my earnings from the country itself is wayyyy tooo high, im making too much money so I just cant have them, it makes the game too easy.

Jokes aside.

If someone has a better idea about how to handle the current world situation (as far as monetizing russian traffic with low effort) , let me know. I dont support anything, or anything like that, I just

Monetise, and we are on a black hat forum so im sure many of you can relate to wanting to monetise what the world currently considers "dirty traffic".


If we get lucky, then in 5 years the world might be back in more relative peace, and ill have an SEO head start in russia as I never stopped producing content

they could consume.

If we are unlucky, this goes on way too long, or russia and ukrain themselves become worthless to advertisers for longer than ill be doing SEO.

US humans dont live so long so it is not impossible to imagine a country remaining worthless monetarily for most our life.

The Language itself for now isnt worthless as it has 258 million speakers, while Russia has 143.4 million population (as you can see, many speakers are not in the country itself)

-------------------

Just a final comment, I'm not heartless, it pains me to see the things I see, so dont think that just cus im looking at this from a money stand point that I really devalue human life that much.

It is easy to forget people are not just numbers on a screen, I do not enjoy the loss of life no matter who, why or where.

Many things in this world we cant help.

Great journey thread, will be following for updates.

 

[aureliusma]

Thank-you, I hope you learn something useful.
When you are caught up, if you have a question I havent answer before
and im willing to share then feel free asking. I will try to share what
im able to share

Thanks! It's all very interesting. I've been curious on the impact of LLMs on SEO and your thread(s) answer a lot of my questions already. I will be doing an SEO project in my localization (not english) to try it out. Is there any way to DM you? I cannot access your profile :-( I'm new here so that must be why!

 

[97tech]

Last step before approval, adsense is limited because I have clicked on my ads on another website, didn't knowed that limitations are applied to the whole account.

But that's how we roll!

 

[bottingisfine]

Any tips to for the internal links part? I am trying to improve that part of the process

I wish you luck on your project !!!
Also, no, it isnt just you,
I set my profile like that as it detures many unwanted messages

Last step before approval, adsense is limited because I have clicked on my ads on another website, didn't knowed that limitations are applied to the whole account.

But that's how we roll!

I wish you luck in getting the domain approved, sadly ezoic requires your adsense to be fully approved to work. Make sure you fix any issues before your next application to adsense

Any tips to for the internal links part? I am trying to improve that part of the process

Im still mostly lazy with it, hence why I just use the related posts plugin.

 

[Jaordas]

It is about time I stopped lying to you guys.

Mini update:
Earnings down
EPMV down

Goals - missed


-----------------------------------------

It breaks my heart to tell this to you all, but ive been avoiding the truth.
So you want to know why everything is down?

Did I finally get slapped by google for building mass content?
did my translations backfire on me?

Did my girlfriend leave me and take the kids causing me to have a mid life crisis and take it out on my users?

Find out next time on.......................

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jokes aside, I fucked up

Something occured that broke the website, and since I dont watch this website often, stupid me did not notice for 2 whole days, and only fixed the issue on the 3rd day.

No one else noticed because even my editors have been moved away from this site since I had better things for them to do.



So 3 whole days of revenue GONE

and google can start deindexing things within 24-48 hours of it being down so for all I know, I may have already started losing some articles from the index.

This being said, obviously it is gonna be near impossible for me to hit any growth goal this month when im missing 300-500$ of revenue.

In fact I should have seen this coming as the website had went down some days before, but I was convinced I fixed the issue and didnt keep watching it too closely.

Make it worse, it went down on a friday, which normally id be working on this website on the weekend, but this weekend I kinda too off (for no real reason, but im my own boss so I can

do this whenever I want, much to my own problems).

Also, on top of that, EPMV has been going down, but I more or less click baiting with that. Because the only reasons EPMV is going down, is because of non US visitors.

Revenue per day is going up, but the epmv will go down (which doesnt matter in this case since im making more money, and the value of the USA visitors isnt

depreciated, it just becomes a smaller part of my statistics the more non english traffic I pile on).

I can increase my epmv in reports by removing russia since I get a lot of visits from there but still 0 revenue so they basically just reduce my vanity stats.

Though I explained before that russian as a language however does make me money, so it is not that the russian pages are useless.


-------------------------------------------------

take aways? I should probably set something up to have myself sent notifications when site is down, however this rarely ever happens so it is not like

I often think about these things.

Also, im not gonna give dates for obvious reasons, but I finally left shit host.

So far im satisfied with the new place im putting the site, although im only mentioning this as moving host, and page speed changes can impact revenue, (and cause issues when you are stupid like me)

so the next coming month, is not currently looking good as far as stability or growth of income.

Traffic on google has been trending up still for the most part




my last update was around $3650 in a month

but since I lost money those last few days I am lower than this, and dont expect to pass it without a good 30 days of no downtime.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good news? (for me, and whoever of you are in niches that hate the summer)

somehow the website managed to survive summer without an insane hit in revenue. I didnt expect this since it is seasonal

however im not complaining. For the most part, its growth rate matched the decrease in summer traffic.

So good news is though, that end of august traffic and earnings will begin to fly again and hopefully we can break some

earning walls.

But to be 100% with you, since the website did not act in the summer as I expected, I cant be sure how it will act in the school semester.

It possibly has so much content on it now that it flattens out the yearly bumps, I did publish seasonal groups for this reason but it is also debatable

on how much that has affected things.



probably the longest googlequake ive seen.

How have your websites been doing?

Sad to hear, happened to me too. Solution is to spin up a VPS or use a spare computer/Pi at home, install Umbrel and put the Uptime Kuma app (or you can get more hands on directly in Linux), add monitoring. It takes 10 minutes and saves thousands. No reason not to have that, I learned that lesson the hard way too.

The power of AI is scary.

(note, some information im gonna give is gonna be "off" from reality so the website is not easy to find based off dates and numbers etc. However it will be generally close enough to draw your own conclusions)



No linkbuilding. Website was aged with content. Just under 2 years old.

not mine, but im getting to take a little look under the hood with permission to talk about a few things. (obviously not gonna reveal the site).

I cant estimate earnings, owner has no ads and doesnt want me to talk about affiliate as they want to keep their head start for longer.

They started publishing around 3/25/23

However they never talked to me until around 4/20 even though they followed my stuff.

I got to watch it grow so some things im not gonna remember if they dont seem relevant to me now.

Website has 700 posts, around 150 drive 90% of the traffic, many posts have not had time to rank.

posting schedule was up and down but never over 200 published in a single month.

Webmaster hand picked every keyword and used Ahrefs for analysis. They did not do blind mass publishing.

They have it translated to italian so filter to show only USA traffic is on.

Owners words:

"Im only letting this be shown to hopefully give someone motivation, I honestly think we are currently at a time where
SEOs in 5 years wish they had started making their moves when it was this easy. I have fears just like everyone else
but AI has invited itself into this so we must not get left behind. "


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back to me:

I agree, so much times I wished I was doing SEO back in the ages when ranking was so easy.

Even if SEO itself dies, I feel like AI has made scaling so many things now scaleable for the average person

even youtube. This year is a crazy year, the first real year of mainstream AI, and so much projects had growth you could barely believe 2 years ago.

obviously I still have fears aswell, like, if everyone has the ability to "eat" more of the limited "pie" faster, then wouldnt that mean we have less pie to go around?
People talk about abundance mindset, and I find it a little harder to think like that. However it is a better mindset as I can sleep

easier and just focus on growing, when im not thinking like every other human is stealing from your share.

I originally felt like the web will massively degrade in value, but these days im starting to see part all the tons of AI content.

Not even wikipedia could keep all the traffic on earth for itself. No one can.

Just as things always has been, on competetive serps, I can still see that over time the best content will still rise to the top.

Humans are rather perceptive about things even if they dont realize it.

I wouldnt care if the best human writer on earth, or the best AI writer on earth made a certain article im reading.

If I want to learn how to grow "insert random plant" then I can clearly tell when im reading an article with generic growing advice

vs one with advice tailored to that specific plant.

If I googled that 5 years ago, it would be the same, id seek out the "best" information.

be it on youtube, or in some blog post where the owner even breaks down planting months, and has a lot of beautiful pictures.


Why am I saying all of this?

I am just thinking about how I can see hope in the future. The hardest serps will still have greater quality (or greater manipulation form black hat but lets ignore black hats for now).

The serps where pure AI will thrive on are serps that never had great quality articles in the first place.

In many cases, an AI article might have even better quality than the current number 1.

The person ranking number 1 also has equal ability to use AI to improve their old rankings to keep up.

The competition wont die at least, and the winners shouldnt be fixed.



"but Jaordas! what about sites like forbes who also have access to AI now and can easily pump out content beyond our imagination !!!"


Stuff like that still worries me, but obviously any business can only do so much. If you keep to a single site and make it powerful, you are making

and investment towards having something that can compete with even the big boys. Google doesnt give rank one to any domain just because

it has the highest metrics. I have seen how much effort is put into some of their posts and all I can say is that on some keywords they

fully deserve their rank 1 over some shitty affiliate site. Obviously that stings if you run such an affiliate site.

I try to think about it from the pov as a user.

In the end, big companies are slower. If forbes appearned on the serp for my best keyword (on my main site, im not claiming my small sites can fight forbes)

then it would not even take a day for me to make my article better than theirs. Id be able to out quality them in the same week they first appear.

That keyword might be worth 1% of my revenue to fight for it, but only worth .001% of their revenue to keep fighting me over it.

The bigger play in SEO 10 years from now might be niche heavy (people already think this way however I dont, as ive proven time

and time again that I can rank general sites, so I never had the greatest push to stay heavy niche in all my projects.


Id rather read a plant growing guide from a niche website in the field than from forbes.


This goes for authority sites in a niche too. If I saw a pet article on forbes and the same article on the spruce pets, im probably clicking on the spruce.


This is a long way of me just saying that, as long as the competition isnt over, that means no one has won yet, and if no one has won, then that means we

can still enter and make a name for ourselves in our corners of the web.

I wanted to get some of this off my chest so sorry about the rambling.


TLDR MADE BY GPT:

1. SEO and AI Evolution: SEO ranking was simpler in the past, but AI has recently made digital tasks scalable, with notable growth in AI projects this year.
2. AI Scalability Concerns: As more use AI tools, there's worry about resource distribution. Balancing an abundance mindset against feeling resources are limited is challenging.
3. Content Quality: Whether produced by humans or AI, quality remains crucial. Consumers can differentiate genuine, valuable information from generic content.
4. Big Players in SEO: Large companies like Forbes may use AI for content, but niche websites can offer more specific, high-quality information and can focus on quality over quantity to compete effectively.
5. SEO's Future: The SEO landscape will remain competitive with opportunities for both major and niche players. Authenticity, relevance, and quality remain key.
6. AI and Long-tail Keywords: AI has the capability to tap into many long-tail keywords that marketers couldn't allocate resources to in the past, filling gaps in content coverage. Many things they rank, were not thinks marketers used to directly target, or in general were filled with low quality page

Still seems long as hell to me, but I wanted to see how it would shorten my ramble.

Do you create them in bulk without rewriting? What's your process?
For me I'm using "webchatgpt" which does a good job of rewriting the content, then I reedit manually.

Answered in detail before, more or less, create in bulk, rewrite and optimize when they start getting traffic.

How are your results ?
