yeah honestly on second thought these types of journies are kind of a joke, not to rain on your parade. I'm tired of going down this path myself, here's why:
In general, blogs and content take a couple years to start getting traction. By then, google machine learning have become much much smarter, they push out an update and boom, your site is worth junk.
I mean, you're trying to beat GOOGLE at their own game, a trillion dollar company. They will outsmart you and get the junk off their site eventually.
