I did some tests with Originality.ai recently and it’s almost impossible to get it to say the content isn’t AI unless is has all kinds of crazy synonyms in it.

At the end of the day…all we can do is try different things I guess.

I kind of lost momentum after starting off well. I was hoping for some traffic but it never materialized. I probably chose the wrong niche…

1. How well did your website perform during this 6 month challenge? Terrible…21 clicks and 330 impressions over six months. What was frustrating is thing seemed to be moving upwards…Read more

We all know they have absolute control over the SERP results. And the Google AI fiasco especially shows they control everything they want us to see.

That being said….my site never gained any organic traffic and I received zero organic clicks.

I did get 267 sessions from Organic Social and most of them came over 3 days. Maybe that’s the ticket to getting traffic to my website.

I had high hopes but maybe my topic is way to…Read more

wow. Great idea and the website looks to be off to a great start. I have an ecommerce site (https://coffeemugsandhats.com).

Definitely add a blog to your site an create content. Google likes shopify sites. There’s so many ways you can go with your website and create content to get people to your site.

I have one site that Google appears to really hate right now. G isn’t reading the sitemap for some reason. I’ve resubmitted a couple times without any luck.

I think G is going to migrate Search Console to GA4 and they have started the process.

But what do I know.

Great looking site. Just an idea. On your drawing downloads, you should try to collect email address prior to getting the downloads!

I realized AI was just making stuff up. Thankfully I recognized early on and was able to start my project on time for the first reviews.

I’m in a battle with you for last place!! Zero traffic so far. I did want to test Google to see if it would find my site without a Sitemap. Unfortunately, the Big G hasn’t found my site.

I’ve am interested to see what happens next month. I have 50 articles on the site and will be submitting my Sitemap tomorrow night or early on Dec. 1…Read more

I don’t think you are alone with getting very little traffic!

It’s just test to see if Google will pick up the pages naturally. I know submitting is the way to go but I have another site in which google hasn’t crawled my website since October 10. So I’m not sure what’s going on with Google. It could be simply because the sites are new.

Another reason is that I would like to get up to 50 articles…Read more

Can you create a thread for each checkin video? Give it a good label so we know where to post our videos?

I just posted under the Week 1 thread and probably should have posted my video here. Sorry for the duplicate entry.
