I am willing to transfer some of my expeise by answering questions regarding topical authority in blogging. So go ahead and shoot your questions
 
I got 2 question:
Which clustering tool is best to cluster (thousands of) keywords?
GIve me an example site of tropical authority site in English/American language with minimum number of posts and rising traffic?

How to get low competitive niche and keywords?
How much time it will take to make 1$ per day ?
Topical authority is best practice for a site but can a site rank and bank 1000$ monthly without topical authority?
How do you manage your writings ? How much you pay for 1000 words?
Can AI do the writings and rank?
 
I'd like to know your thoughts on how to actually build a topical cluster.. how should the posts / pages be knitted together is that done through interlinking or url structure or both?
 
To what degree do you monetize directly on the blog vs. directing traffic and authority flow to a money site?
 
Didn't even notice who you were OP.

I'm part way through an order with this gent's service and am impressed so far.

1. There are different clustering tools out there, but believe me, ChatGPT does a decent job with the right prompt
2. Soy, i can ie you other people's site for obvious reasons. At least you understand what topical authority means

1. To get low comp niche starts with KW research as its been done for ages. Start with a main KW, then drill down to find a sub-niche that you can work with.
2. Time to make $1 depends on many things like CPM, traffic, and competition, plus other factors. But one of my clients is already making $5 within 13 days.
3. Just as with 2 above, earnings depend on many factors, but topical authority makes things easier for you because Google considers the site for anything related to the KWs.
4. We write for ourselves, we also write for others.
5. Yes, AI-written content helps with topical authority. Without AI, you may burn thousands of $$$. But for AI content to stand any chance, humans must edit it to remove certain words.

1. To build a topical cluster starts with taking a main KW, then drilling down it to get sub-niches. Take the sub-niche you like and search for the categories under it, then from there, you research content that will suit each category. Competitor research also helps.
2. Depending on the number of posts you have, you can do it manually or get an automatic interlinking plugin. That's what we use in our service because some clients ask for ~300 posts, and as you can imagine, that's too much for manual linking. for the pages, we use common sense to silo, example, all pages about the blog (contact, privacy, disclaimer, etc), all come under About us
 
To what degree do you monetize directly on the blog vs. directing traffic and authority flow to a money site?
Almost all the blogs we own or do for clients are mainly monetized with display ADs only. Maybe the clients can decide to add other monetization later.

Thanks for your patronage. we appreciate
 
Nah, when clustering thousands of keywords, ChatGPT does not cut it with its memory limit. It would just start repeating words.
Agreed.

With chatgpt+ the approach is other way around.
You give it a topic and build your keyword cluster by prompt chaining
Here are the prompts for niche - gym exercises:

give me 30 semantically relevant, but unique topics under the main category of gym exercises
(10 instead of 30 for narrow)

give me 10 different keyword variations of bench press that address a different search intent
(30 instead of 30 for wider)

(if to long/wordy)
reduce each down to three to five word length keywords.
 
do AI generated articles work for increasing topical authority? Or they should be non AI for TA to work.
How fast the topical authority starts to work and increase rankings?
Suppose I created a new site and wrote 50 topically organized articles interlinked with 5 pillar pages (which has keywords that I want to rank), in a time span of 1-2 weeks. After how much time the topical thing will start to improve rankings ? Is it steadily giving increase over months, or it works just same as backlinks effect ?

I had provided the answer to this previously. AI articles do work towards topical authority as long as you humanly edit them.

Depending on the niche, 50 articles may be ok or not to lead you towards topical authority. So the answer depends on the niche.

When I said chatGPT, it doesn't mean you will take the whole world and pour into it. You take them in bits, then you can take all the results and repeat it again. It all depends on the number of topics you have to cluster
