    What's your take on AI generated content?

    Ah yes, the tweet from a random Twitch streamer with no source to back it up. From June. Very substantiated. Please reference my profile picture for my reaction.

    That's the kind of 'gotcha' that makes me laugh at SEOs. It looks exactly like this tweet about Neil Patel (and the clapback from NP made me respect him so much more): "LMAO, look at his traffic!!!" "LMAO, look at my revenue. We moved on to bigger and more effective things than SEO. Stay on...

    Did that as well using TranslatePress + DeepL. Also automatic, maybe another $40 for the DeepL API. None of that manual copy + pasting. Pimpin all over the world. But yeah, video would be a breezy next step. EDIT: I met this guy from Honduras a few weeks ago. He was showing me videos on his...

    For my 'Back to the Beginning' laboratory thread website, I'm doing the same thing for my site. I took the ~250 individual posts, ran the title/main keyword through my AI spreadsheet, and blasted. If they get traffic, great, more competition to dissuade other shmups. If not, they make my main...

    What do you tell people you do?

    The more secretive you are the more it sounds like some goon scheme. Nowadays I tell people writer or digital marketer. If they ask follow-up Qs, most don't understand affiliate marketing, they equate it to MLM like jstover77 said. But they do understand that companies need customers. "It...

    Every time I see Glen put out a report I get excited. Then I start to read it and realize everything he's saying has already been talked about to death. All of this was discussed to death within days of the HCU.

    So who’s gonna pay $8 for Twitter verification?

    I promise you that no one in this thread is bragging about a few hundred TikTok views. The only thing we're talking about is that there are opportunities to traffic leak everywhere, and we won't discount them based on assumptions and/or third-party information. There's also a brand versus...

    And for anyone that doesn't know why this is up for scrutiny, they don't follow up with how many sites were excluded from the original 10,302. They say 607 were losers (5.8%) 1,170 were winners (11.3%) But who knows how many sites they excluded? It could have been 8,525, which changes those...

    So who’s gonna pay $8 for Twitter verification?

    I know this thread is going off the rails, but I just wanted to share the demo from that random 10-second clip I created on a new TikTok account. The video: how to calculate market share. It was the most boring shit in the world and placed in front of people that are interested in boring shit.

    I'm sick of seeing terrible examples used to show how 'google bad' and I'm not even an SEO purist. It reminds me of people putting logic puzzles in ChatGPT, it doesn't get it right, and going, "hurr hurr, AI isn't going to take our jobs," or AI images & hands last year. The most insincere...

    Newbie Question(s) so dumb, you're afraid to even ask!

    Here's how that's looking today. None of these pages show up in keyword research tools. Each page is insignificant in traffic, but together, they get some that converts very well. Like 50% CTR, can't easily track conversions from there without creating a few hundred individual campaigns. The...

    So who’s gonna pay $8 for Twitter verification?

    Holy smokes, the last few posts arguing the efficacy of short-form video showcases the hubris of SEO types. Reminds me of people arguing against using Pinterest because it's ~90% women. Meanwhile, I have power tool posts doing numbers. I slapped together a 10-second boring clip in Canva with...

    A move in the right direction. All the Anonymous Andys out there talking about shit they're afraid to put their face on can move to the 2nd page.

    It beats the poorly branded style of content sites most people start out creating. All the sites I create that do well have some product or service that's front and center, even if it's not actually offered. A job board, an agency, something. If I wanted to do a MarTech affiliate site, the...

    What are you listening to?

    NGL, the girl who bought the ticket for me ended up drunk on a boat celebrating Labor Day, so I didn't go. Going to see Static X and Sevendust next month though, got those tickets locked in.

    What was the last book you read? How was it?

    I bought a complete anthology of H.P. Lovecraft a few years back (that B&N $7 special), and I'm not going to lie: it's hard to read. Just too ancient of a text to find enjoyable. Reads like a 19-year-old that wants to be a writer, so they write the most obtuse nonsense with thesaurus.com...

    Those books are fantastic! They got me into the whole space opera genre.
