Started Affiliate Site, Growing Slowly

All content was generated using ChatGPT Build GPT. I made this GPT for myself to act like a very experienced older person with knowledge about many aspects of life.

The site was started a few months ago, but to be honest, I mostly started pushing articles from July. I’ve also started building internal links within the same silo structure. I don’t link to other silos because I prefer to keep all internal links within each silo.

I hope this will generate good revenue within the next few months.

I applied for AdSense, but it was rejected because there wasn’t a single image included in the articles.

I’m also hoping to apply for the Amazon Affiliate Program.

So, I’m currently looking for a plugin that can add relevant products to blog posts where appropriate.


Will add another update next month.

If you know a good amazon affiliate plugin and what pages necessary to get approved by amazon affiliate let me know in comments.

seems like uh are doing everything the right way. in my opinion it is better to concenttrate on visual elements nd products that can be recommended within the content itself. Wish you good luck with amazon approval.

Update 9/3/2026



Site is growing. Currently at 250 articles. Not build a single backlink, only internal links in correct silos.

Yesterday, I applied for the Amazon Affiliate Program.

My country was not listed as an eligible bank country for receiving payments, so I had to add Payoneer as my payment receiving account.

Hopefully, this will resolve the payment receiving account issue.

I got access to the dashboard, and I need to make 3 sales within 180 days.

Let’s do this.

What do you do with the affiliate site can you explain more exactly what you doing

Any traffic from bing and duckduckgo?

How to see this traffic?

I mean in google analytics for example.

Good luck with your journey, mate! So, are you focusing solely on Amazon affiliates? Also, how did you manage to publish so many articles in such a short time? Have you done proper keyword research as well?

So many questions, I know, but I’m genuinely curious and interested in following along.

Good luck for the journey.
Patience is key, especially in organic.
Waiting to see more!

Good luck mate!

Yes. only for now I focus on amazon affiliate and i got approved to that.



It's not actually a short time. Publishing 200 articles has taken me about a month and a half so far. (tbh I had published around 20 to 25 articles before that, but I abandoned the site for a few weeks because I wasn't seeing any results. The pages weren't getting indexed, and I wasn't even getting 10 impressions.) But then I restarted with a "just do it" mindset.

I created a custom GPT with all the necessary knowledge around that niche. I included the problems people faced by researching Reddit, Quora, online forums, niche communities, and the experiences people shared. I turned all of that information into guide documents for the GPT. So, this GPT basically acts like someone with over 20 years of experience in the niche who knows almost everything about it.

I never did any keyword research. I generated over 1,000 topics with a silo structure + few silo categories and continuously published 2 to 3 articles per day.

During the first month, I didn't build any internal links, and I didn't see any growth. Most of the pages weren't even indexed. But I didn't give up.

What I did next was install an auto-linking plugin and change the settings so it only creates links within the same category instead of creating internal links between different categories. I started working on that while continuing to publish two articles per day.

Again, there was no keyword research involved. Everything was done with the support of ChatGPT Go.

Keep that up instead of generating content focus on quality instead of quantity which is a long game. Create backlinks slowly, use bofu keywords which will not only showup in the GSC or anything but also gets converted into sales.
