      I continue to learn…I plan on continuing to keep my blinders on and use, automate, leverage, and produce with AI…Not sure what I care what Google, Bing, Medium, or anyone else thinks. I don’t think they really say or know what they want, and they waste everyone’s valuable resources. Happy to answer any questions if anyone has any.

      Happy with progress.

      I’m unlikely to change anything up this month. While I have made excellent progress on my heart failure front, testing almost normal now, my dad is quickly succumbing to cancer. So, my focus is elsewhere.

      I’m glad I took the time to participate, which allowed me to establish a set of processes that I can refine over time. But, I won’t be mixing things up this month.

      I wish all of you well in the final month here. It’s been a blast watching all of you, and your different strategies and tactics.

      I got GA4 working with this site around the 20th of January. I’m busy doing rewrites on my older articles, and I’m still publishing 2 new articles per day on average.

      No complaints.

      I managed to get GA4 configured and working. I’m busy doing rewrites on my older articles and I’m still publishing 2 new articles per day on average.

      No complaints.

      (Copied From My Other Site Because I’m Using The Same Strategy For Both)
      There is an error for this site when connecting GA 4. I’m not a novice and know how to do this. I have around 180 sites where it is connected and working. But something is wrong with both of my new, existing AI sites. I’ll make an effort to get it working now that the other contest is over.

      My traffic from other sources is great, and I’m starting to get some more organic traffic. Direct traffic is great from socials.

      Plans for this month? I’ve been coding up a tool that uses the Open AI API to rewrite my posts and generate new images. My cost per rewrite is less than $0.10 per article using GPT 3.5, which seems good enough for this type of content. The rewrite takes about a minute per article, and it takes about 5 to 10 minutes for me to complete my edits and publish it. So, I plan to do some major rewriting starting in a couple of weeks. Still just tweaking things to save me time. I’ve cut back my posts per day on all of my sites to 28 from 70, which is freeing up my time for more of this development. It should be a fun three months.

      All this assumes that the heart failure doesn’t get worse, and I can still put in my 3 to 4 hours per day on my sites.

      On an unrelated note, I want to check out the highland cows. I’ve been partial to Dexters due to their size. We have 6 acres of mostly woods, and if my heart ever recovers, I’m going to look into that more.

      The answer to your question is somewhat complicated, but I’ll try to explain my tools/process here:

      Last year, I had an active subscription to Article Forge, which was unlimited but throttled. I used that tool, at the time, to generate 36,000 articles on a wide variety of topics over the period of a year. I developed some automation using “Power Automate” by Microsoft. I wasn’t happy with the H2 / Section Titles that Article Forge generated, so I wrote my own software using Visual Basic.NET that would open each of these HTML5 files, read the H2 tags, and then let me change them. I later modified this code to use Open AI’s Chat GPT to suggest new titles for each section. It then saved these modified files as HTML files with the new H2 / section tags. I then wrote more software that would take and upload these articles, 25 at a time, to the WordPress website, in draft status. As it did this, it assigned random images that I had uploaded at the time from Pexels using their API.

      While all of these articles are “ok”, I wouldn’t classify them as great. I have since modified that software to also perform rewrites for me. Today, I’ll be publishing 10 rewrites to the site. My software takes the existing article that it retrieves using the WordPress API, submits each section and title to the Chat GPT API, and asks it to do a rewrite. This rewrite tool has the option to either create new images using DALL-E or randomly select from existing images that are in the site’s Media repository. So, the rewrite tool does the complete rewrite of the article in about a minute for about $0.05 US. If it generates new images for the article, each image costs $0.04 US based on the current costs for the API. So, rewrites generally cost me between $0.05 and $1.00 US, and I can drip out 5 to 10 per day if I have time. I have also modified my software to generate fresh articles from scratch by just typing in an Article Title. I then have Chat GPT suggest sections and titles and then the rest of the article. These new articles have the same cost and take between 1 minute and 15 minutes, depending on whether I have used existing images or new images. Here again, I’ll publish between 2 and 5 articles per day. I am actively using this self-created toolset now actively on 16 sites, and I’m publishing 30 to 50 articles per day, depending on my personal schedule. I do this, consuming about 2 hours of my time per day. I have limited it to this because of my problems with heart failure. While I’ve never focused on organic search until this contest, I’ve focused more on process and tools because I knew my niche selection wasn’t the best for contests. My niches were selected based on the personal interests of my family as opposed to attempting to pick winning niches. The closest commercial tool that I can find that produces similar results is a WordPress Plugin called AI Power. I will say that I’m happy with my progress and learning experience in the contest because I believe I have developed tools and a process that I can apply to any niche, which I will leverage in the future, should my health permit.

      I hope this helps you understand what I’ve done. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

      Hi Dennis…

      If you have access to Chat GPT or Bing Chat or any of the others, I would enter a series of prompts like this:

      1) First, I want to know what types of people are likely to visit my site (assuming know institutional knowledge), so I’d enter a prompt like this: What types of people would normally visit a blog about plant-based recipes?

      2) In this case, Chat GPT 4.0 replied with the following:

      Visitors to a blog about plant-based recipes come from various backgrounds and interests, driven by motivations that range from health concerns to ethical considerations. Understanding these types can help tailor content to meet their needs and interests. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

      Health-Conscious Individuals:

      Seek plant-based recipes to improve health, manage weight, or prevent diseases.
      Interested in nutritional information and benefits of plant-based diets.
      Vegans and Vegetarians:

      Follow strict plant-based diets either for ethical reasons, animal rights, or environmental concerns.
      Look for creative recipes that don’t compromise on taste or texture.
      Flexitarians and Meat Reducers:

      Not strictly vegetarian but aim to reduce meat consumption for health or environmental reasons.
      Interested in plant-based recipes that can serve as alternatives to meat-based dishes.
      Fitness Enthusiasts and Athletes:

      Focus on high-protein plant-based meals to support workout routines and muscle recovery.
      Seek recipes that are both nutritious and energy-boosting.
      Eco-conscious Individuals:

      Motivated by the sustainability and lower environmental impact of plant-based eating.
      Interested in how plant-based diets can reduce carbon footprint and water use.
      Food Allergy Sufferers:

      Look for plant-based recipes due to allergies or intolerances to dairy, eggs, or meat.
      Interested in allergen-free recipes and alternatives to common allergens.
      Culinary Adventurers:

      Enjoy exploring diverse cuisines and experimenting with new ingredients.
      Drawn to unique, globally-inspired plant-based recipes.
      Families with Children:

      Seek kid-friendly plant-based recipes that are nutritious and easy to prepare.
      Interested in tips for introducing plant-based diets to children.
      Budget-Conscious Cooks:

      Look for affordable, easy-to-prepare plant-based meals that use common ingredients.
      Interested in meal planning and bulk cooking advice.
      Professionals in Food, Health, and Sustainability Fields:

      Researchers, dietitians, chefs, and environmentalists seeking to stay informed about plant-based trends and nutritional insights.
      May use the information for professional development, education, or to incorporate into their practice or teachings.
      By understanding these types, a blog can cater to a wide audience by offering a variety of recipes, nutritional insights, environmental benefits, and lifestyle tips related to plant-based eating. Tailoring content to address the specific interests and concerns of these groups can increase engagement and loyalty among readers.

      3) I then take and enter the following prompt for each of the groups mentioned above:

      a) Can you provide me with 30 questions that people that are Health-Conscious Individuals, might have that I can answer as part of my plant-based recipe site?
      b) Can you provide me with 30 questions that people that are Vegans and Vegetarians, might have that I can answer as part of my plant-based recipe site?

      4) Chat GPT responded to 3a) with:
      Creating content that addresses specific questions from health-conscious individuals can significantly enhance the value and appeal of your plant-based recipe site. Here are 30 questions that such an audience might have, which you can use to guide your content creation:

      This assumes that you’re trying to develop content silos or topics and not necessarily just wanting questions from Google Search Console or tools like AnswerThePublic and other search tools…

      I like to ask Chat GPT things like for questions people have as well as what problems people are trying to solve, etc….

      I hope this helps you some.

      Thanks,

      Tom Seest

      That’s the only reason I’m touching gaming. I got out of gaming in my late teens. But, all my sons are into it. One of my sons does edits for me and linking and so we’re doing 3 gaming sites actively right now. I’m not sure how competitive it is at this point because we have not tried to monetize them yet.
