You are a king, I read it once but it is an informative piece that I will read again and again.It's time for an update.
Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to do this the way I originally wanted, but I certainly got the answers I was looking for, you will get them too, or at least everyone who wants to see them, who doesn't want to, and doesn't believe in SEO, especially Local SEO in 2024, I respect your decision.
So, a few months ago, more precisely at the end of October, if I'm not mistaken, I started testing AI sites, that is, a complete set of AI.
In the first post, I was talking about 3 sites, 1 English and 2 with European languages, the English version got punched in the face [first image down below], so I added 1 more about a month ago, just to test the current situation with the indexing of new sites after all updates, and of course, everything is indexed, views are slowly coming, which I will show you later, everything went well.
Once again, this was a test... Traffic was not my primary goal, my primary goal was to personally explore and understand new possibilities.
Thanks to this approach, I can now share these findings with you:
My key questions were:
The answer to all Q's is a resounding YES and articles are still ranking with 0 problems with Google.
- Will Google index AI-generated articles?
- Will Google rank these articles?
- Will these articles be compatible with AdSense?
- What will happen after 4, 5, 6 months?
One critical insight I’d like to highlight is the untapped potential in non-English markets.
Regardless of whether you are in Europe, Africa, South America, or Asia, if you’re focusing only on the English market, you’re missing out on significant opportunities in your native language.
Many of us, including myself, have overlooked the potential of our native markets in pursuit of 'global success'.
This is a reminder to:
"Think Globally, Work Locally." - MrDenz
For those with at least a year of REAL experience in SEO and website building, if you’ve ever ranked within the top 5 for keywords with 1,000 to 5,000 searches in English, you possess the skills needed to dominate in your local language.
With a solid plan created, you could achieve remarkable success in just one year.
My advice from the bottom of my heart is to, at least do 30 minutes of local research after you are done reading this boring text, especially in this day and age, take advantage of AI technology and start building local sites!
I urge you to reconsider your strategies.
Search for keywords in your language and you’ll discover numerous opportunities.
For instance, I was astonished to find on my first attempt a keyword with 2 million searches and a Keyword Difficulty (KD) of just 15!
Later, of course, I found plenty of niches where I could get into with no backlinks, $0 investments, just pure quality articles!
This is just one of many examples.
Now I'm going to show you the results achieved with about forty articles in total on all sites.
These sites target [mostly] 'seasonal niches', so fluctuations are normal.
The largest of these sites hosted 24 articles by the start of this year and I posted around 10 [something like that] after, but the results remain impressive.
For the other 2 websites, I simply didn't have time for any type of extra work as I first thought, but anyway, I got the answers.
I wish I could automate all of this, it would be a valuable tool for everyone, but more on that later...
The spike you are about to see in the picture/s is for the new year, Valentine's Day, and Easter, after Easter, there was a drop, cause, summer days are coming, and no one gives 2 cents about cooking at 40 degrees, and there are no new articles, so the site survives on old ones.
In addition to this, I had 5 social networks, you will see all the statistics of all of them, everything is with maybe 5 posts in the last 2, or 3 months, maybe 1 to 2 posts in that period on social networks but most importantly, results are organic, not a single click and follower is not paid or fake.
The first image is the English version that got kicked in the ass by Google March update:
Ok, they were pretty clear about it, so I gave up and let that one aside, which makes me sad, it's an amazing domain nameBut, big G was clear enough...
As promised I will tag all of you asking questions @StampedConcrete @elliot_ @ceonuz @xprsnw @awesomewebsites @Jhonsmm09 @madeinheaven2
6 month results on the main website:
Organic clicks/impressions for top 10 posts
G Analytics
Direct traffic in this case is almost all from Discover on Google, check the next image.
Discover Traffic - From 2nd January 2024 to 19 February 2024
Bing? You are missing a lot!
If you are not on Bing, you are missing a lot, if you have a site with at least 50 views per day, don't wait a moment - Bing Webmaster Tool
This is the difference without me doing anything on Bing in just 1 month, image down is for April, and image up is for May, do your math!
Social Media Stats
Pinterest - Gave the best results in terms of "views"
Facebook [not active group] - YouTube [not active] - Twitter [not active] - All Organic
Instagram 134 followers - TikTok 7 Followers 79 Likes = 1.600+ views [no activity in the last 2, or 3 months]
New website, 4 test articles in April, I was going for a veeeeery low KD/searches:
This is the 2nd or the 3rd site from my OP, I'm not sure anymore and it's not that important, no new articles in the last 2, or 3 months:
There are also some social media stats but I'm tired of taking screenshots, to be honest ( :
Now, imagine all this just x100 or x1000?
Now, the most important thing from everything that I showed up today is, what exactly are you going to take away from this?
1 - You didn't show me anything, this is peanuts, not even serious traffic, you are just a loser.
2 - I was expecting more...
3 - WTF is this?!
4 - Ok, there are some nice points here that I could take and start implementing in my daily working routine.
My aim was simply to show what's achievable with a couple of hours each day using AI tools. The rest, as they say, is up to you.
Dive into FREE ahrefs, pick your country, and search for those keywords [take a look at a few different industries].
If you've got a bit of experience under your belt, you'll start to see the opportunities I'm talking about.
I may not have displayed millions of views or impressive earnings here, but that wasn't the point.
This was an experiment, not a final showcase.
We're not here to panic over every unindexed post or minor setback.
There is a small process that does not ask much from you but can give you a lot.
You don't need to be too clever when it comes to creating good quality articles in your language, for every 150 - 300 words add 1 image,
Use Canva, Fotor, and even AI pictures pass, you can get Canva here sometimes on BHW.
For Easter, I created an article with 20 AI images, in the middle of the G update, just to see what would happen, directly related to Easter in a text of about 4000 words, I think that page got the most views and it is still ranking pretty well for a bunch of main and related keywords.
As for the ranking itself, I was having at one point around 5 different pages say about 1k to 3,000 monthly searches for a very long time in the first place, without a single backlink, not to mention that I did not build backlinks at all for this test, I was kicking in the ass my competition, they had bunch 10+ years 50+ authority websites and I did with literally 0 authority.
This is where your experience should kick in, once you see what state those websites are, how old their articles are, with no new updates, nothing, of course Google is going to pick up 10+ years of authority web page for the first 10 places over 1000s of spammy pages/websites with 500 words articles where 300 words are long tail keywords, when there is nothing new, just search for it with ahrefs, be my guest!
When you create articles, don't just write prompts "how to make money in 2024" and just copy them into a new blog post, create your own unique process, ChatGPT is $20, and even if you don't have that $20, even the free version can finish the job, if you do it properly, yes!
How do you make good articles?
So, what you want to do is to practically play with ChatGPT!
Engage with your creativity.
ChatGPT, it's like a partner in this journey.
The better you interact with it, the more you'll get out of it.
Start with a solid structure, create one, do your own research, or let AI do the job, and flesh out your piece with as much relevant detail as you can.
Then decorate that article, insert, remove, edit, but just don't copy the first results of the text because you wouldn't read it yourself.
Why would your readers do it for you?
It's not a philosophy, as we humans know how to confuse things and turn simple and easy stuff into passionate and huge problems about simple things.
Once again, search for words in your language, not in English, and you will notice huge holes because, realistically... 90% of us for whom English is not our first language, may have created our first site in our language, but we knew nothing about SEO, and then we jumped on the train to "English Market"!
Not that long ago... I was a part of the agency, and...
Imagine that you have about $3,000 or $90,000 a month to compete with some of the biggest players in the blockchain industry, and you fail.
That's the correct figure you see, $90,000 a month or $4,000,000 over four years, with little to no results!
But well, that's another story, I still claim and I will claim as long as I live that Google/Bing and other SE, they know how to value good articles, H1, H2, H3, H4, FAQ mandatory, images mandatory, always add some "interesting stuff" like "did you know", mandatory, alt image text mandatory, rank images, on-page SEO, off-page SEO, mandatory, text quality, don't overuse keywords in articles, 1 - 2 is more than enough, add the keyword in the title, first paragraph, slug, description, as soon as GSC say "you have problem with this and that", FIX IT!!
So everything that bothers you and you want to do in English, you can do it in your language with 20% of your possibilities, of course, I'm talking about experienced people, and Google will not cause you a problem, and course, don't forget Bing and other SE!
While I can write for the next 10 days, if you don't believe in yourself, no one will, of course, people will talk crap about how SEO is dead because they lost everything with the latest Google hammer, simply because they were spamming, that has nothing to do with their claim how "SEO is dead", it's easier to say SEO is dead then say "I spammed Google, they didn't like it", SEO is not dead, it's just a question, do you want to play the games by their simple rules or, not.
If you have any type of question, post it here, DO NOT DM ME, whenever I have free time I will answer.
As for the updates for this journey, it all depends on the time, I might do a few more updates just to show you that, it is possible,
Wish you all the best.

I'm not sure about checking Bing traffic for other websites.
For keywords you can use ahrefs Bing keyword tool or simply https://www.bing.com/webmasters/keywordresearch.
What do you mean?

I am heavily invested in auto blogging and SEO. I own multiple auto blogging software and multiple copies of GSA SER/Evil, many subscriptions to captcha solvers, and a few OpenAI, Claude, and MidJourney APIs (OpenRouter). This works great. Just make sure to make them really unique with high-quality themes, etc. Even my autoblogs are really automated. When I build and do niche research, it takes me at least a month to complete because I get stuck and lack ideas, site themes, and English proficiency. After all, I'm too lazy. But the whole income comes from AI. I found this while I was building another new AI site and have now decided to embark on a journey for self-motivation.

It's not a dream @SK Media it's about testing and adapting to a new era of content creation.
It's all about adaptation and experimenting with new ideas, if you are not doing that, you are living in the past, and by doing that you are destroying your future, not you, me, or everyone.
I understand all the people who were hit or lost everything with the new Google update, but nothing is lost, 90% of the people who were hit didn't even try to change anything because it's much easier to give up and blame Google, but I do understand "that mindset", I've been in such situations.
The reality is harsh, we need Google, Bing, and other search engines, and if we need them, then we have to play by their rules, the rules of their game, either you play by the rules or you're kicked out of the league.
@rifmedia buy SemRush for $5, $6, or $7 here on BHW, if you don't have full access to it, and start searching for keywords with a difficulty of 1 - 15 max.
Target search volumes between 100 and 1,000, if you do deep research, you can find some solid keywords, anyway, start building slowly as finding some simple keywords is really easy to start with.
Be careful not to overuse keywords, use one keyword per URL/slug, description, title, first paragraph, and image, also, consider adding FAQs for better content strategy.
Publish 15 articles over the next month, and you should start seeing results gradually build up by the second month.
As your website's authority grows, begin targeting keywords with higher search volumes, starting from 1,000 to 10,000 searches and upwards.
Slow but steady growth is the way to go.
@MutantAlex go for it, just don't use GSA and similar tools if you're serious about building up genuine websites.
Stick to authentic strategies for the best results.
You can use free plugins but in my case, I chose to do everything manually.
There are some amazing plugins out there, I used a few for other projects in the past, but for this testing, I decided to handle it myself.
There are no tricks, don't overdo it @bottingisfine, and aim to keep everything looking natural.

@MrDenz
Thanks mate. Actually, I am more of an automated guy. I have been into automation for a decade. Back in the day, before AI came, I used to rank scrape with Kotent machine, Scrapebox, and Magic article submitter. Then, after spinners came used to spin and rank, And now LLMs/ NLM. I can't do manual link building, and I never had luck. Since AI is all about automation, once I create the website, I would like to automate the traffic generation part too. So, I will stick with GSA and other kinds of automation tools as they have never failed me. All my sites are handled by GSA / RankerX at the moment. After all, those are just software with full control. So you have a responsibility whether we use it for good, bad or ugly.
You just motivated me to start a journey here with my latest builds, and I may start my own.. the thing is, I am too lazy to do so after doing a lot of work at the end of the day. Will try
@bottingisfine
I do mine with Link whisper; you can find free alternatives like Link Wheel. Interlinking is one of the important parts and a must.

I love your in-depth analysis, just want to add few things that will be helpful,
local TLD's performance has been at least 30% better than .com's, this happened after march, April 2024 updates.
Some non-English countries perform better than others, for example for same niche i have tested around 5 to 6 languages, and for me Polish & Germany are best performing,
One thing I love about Non-English is that if you do it right the growth is continuous Non-stop, if at some point there is drop in traffic or rankings just fire em up with some relevant backlinks, again using local TLD of that country for backlinks.
one way to find low competition keywords for any country is to first find important words in that language then make use of google trends, search those words, use "7 days trends" and get relevant trending keywords from "Rising trends"
just to motivate users
this is 7 days old German (using chatgpt)

Thank you very much! This article is exactly what I was searching for, and you answered all my questions and more. You motivated me to start building my passive income machine based on the information and statistics in your article. Thanks again!
Your post are what I would consider quality content. About 3 weeks ago I created a new website in the insurance niche, and with 15 posts, 1 search click and 70/90 impressions I was able to get approval for Adsense. And the content is Ai which I convert to Human ( I make it 0%ai) takes about 15 mins in total from getting the content written to get it to 0 % ai. I’ve been able to rank 3 keywords in the top 4-10 on first page and about 11-15 in the top 10-50. So I do feel like the ai content you generate should definitely be high quality and you can get results like these. Right now I’m sitting on about 25-28 clicks and over 300 impressions, growing slowly by surely.
