**Official 1 Month Reports: Build a NEW Site with AI Challenge**

Filled in the form (twice, because I sent a link to PayPal invoice by mistake the first time so please can you delete that!) and this is my video https://youtu.be/Ue7z4Yad4zs?si=6YMNBviOGQ5dU9Zy

Bowing out of the competition, another project is taking off very nicely and I need to double down and focus on that!

All the best to all participants!

Here’s my video! I forgot to add that I am also working on backlinks as well.

Here’s my video (form submitted).

I swear, I’m still in this! 😉

Not particularly satisfied with the numbers but hopefully the site will pick up steam.

Hi all!
Here’s my video for month #1!
Please excuse the shocking videography and baby – rushing out the door for a holiday!

Working on a POD site with ChatGPT product desc. and starting to get my pages indexed on search console now- organic traffic is 0 but I’ve seen some impressions!! Hopefully month 2 sees a little more success haha.

Here’s my video. Hope that everyone else is doing better than me! https://youtu.be/J6E01nP27Pg

Hello!

My progress is slow, but since I’m not putting in much effort (I don’t have enough time), it seems ok.

Here’s my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP8taclvyHM

We’ve got things moving and picking up steam. Very few clicks but G knows we exist and is getting to know the site. I have not hit all my personal goals but the team is doing great and I’m feeling pretty good! Lots planned for November. Onward and upward!

Looking forward to seeing how everyone else is doing. Here’s mine https://youtu.be/TeiMHJ6rRnk

Here is my video (Nov. 1st Check-in – report on traffic from October):

Here is my video for Update #2!!! https://youtu.be/3AaqgfqIT8g

Here’s my month 1 update. Pretty boring so far on the stats front. I’m happy I’ve been able to stay consistent with the project. https://youtu.be/TlHzAgWxdvk

Anyone who’s having trouble getting their site indexed, I’d suggest using the rank math instant indexing plugin. For Google you have to take a few extra steps, which sounds daunting, but it’s actually pretty easy if you use this post from Rank Math to walk you through it. Hope this helps! I set it up day 1 and my site has 375 pages indexed vs 11 not indexed. https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/?utm_source=Instant+Indexing+Plugin&utm_medium=Setup+Guide+Button&utm_campaign=WP

I’m happy to say the new site had 14 visits in October – and it makes me want to work harder in November.

Here is my Vlog for October.
Had about 20 clicks in GSC, nothing spectacular, but an ok result for a brand new website.

Great to see everyone still smiling!

1st-month update https://youtu.be/TZ_y8IvVnpo

Only 11 articles live so far because I’m completely time-poor right now. Urgh! But 20 clicks is a start!

October report. Whole lot of nothing to report as I haven’t launched yet. I don’t think I posted here last time. Well, by the time the contest is over, I’ll be doing it right.

Hey all, here’s my month 1 progress report:

This is essentially the prompt I use in ChatGPT. I say essentially, because mine is customized to fit my site’s needs. The one below is a very general prompt that would work for almost any type of article. Of course, for certain use cases (like recipes or product reviews), the prompt should be more customized. I’m sharing the general one below because it’s more universally useful than the very specific prompt I use. Mine is extremely similar, though. Replace the words in [brackets] with the appropriate information. Use the GPT-4 model.

Prompt:

Instructions for article targeting the keyword “[your keyword]”:

Title should be simple and descriptive, and list the target keyword first.

Article body:

[Insert your outline]

Guidelines:

Please add a quick summary after the introduction section. Concisely summarize the important points from the article using bullet points. Label as “Quick summary”.

Use simple wording that is easy for anyone to understand, but always use proper terminology.

Be thorough.

Do NOT leave any section unwritten.

Use short paragraphs.

Use formatting like bold, italics, lists, and tables where possible.

Avoid fluff.

Avoid explicit section and heading labels like “V.”.

Optimize for NLP with the provided target phrase.

Format using markdown for CMS compatibility.

Maintain proper heading structure. The title should be H1. Main headings should be H2. Sub-headings should be H3.

If the article is too long to create in a single output, simply stop when necessary and await the user to prompt you to continue.

End Note:

Take a deep breath and ensure you grasp the format and guidelines. Do you require any clarifications before we proceed?

Once ChatGPT confirms that it understands the requirements and is ready to proceed, simply ask it to begin.

ChatGPT will pause at some point. When it does, simply ask it to continue.

NOTE:

If ChatGPT isn’t following one of your instructions, specify what it did wrong and ask it to try again.

For example: “Looking good, except that you forgot to ______. Please try again”.

If ChatGPT continues to forget your original instructions, the context window was likely exceeded. If that’s the issue, you will need to begin a new chat.

The context window basically means how far back ChatGPT can remember. For GPT-4, the context window is about 6,000 words (which includes both your instructions AND ChatGPT’s output). However, in my experience, ChatGPT begins to forget things even before it reaches 6,000 words.

Feel free to adjust the prompt as necessary. The real customization is within the outline. The rest of the prompt simply helps minimize the need for editing, and helps ChatGPT to follow best practices.

It’s a super short video because I’m at work lol. There is little to report, a few clicks here and there. A bunch of articles are not indexing. I’m going to work on backlinks.

I’m not part of the challenge but I am following your progress closely and results are encouraging to me.
I started my hybrid website (ai/human content) in September, and so far, have 83 articles published (44 indexed).
Ave position 44.9, wish I had more clicks and impressions though.
99 health score in ahrefs, ranking for 68 keywords in ahrefs with top position 26 (so work to be done!), 4 backlinks.

Congrats to all participants for your work so far, and keep up the good work!!!

Google might have penalized my site. From a peak of 7.2k impressions, now it is getting 0 impressions. The next focus is to start editing the articles and see if it makes any difference.

Hi everyone, here is my one month video update, cheers!

Happy November Y’all! Here’s my Oct update video 🕺🪩🤖

Good luck to all and enjoy your Nov 🍁🍂🦃

My October Video Revew

Hey,
Here is my update for October. I’ve only had 38 clicks but I’m expecting to get more clicks in the next month. I’d say that I’m still motivated and satisfied with the results.

My video update

I am stuck. So far 11 articles. Will make progress this month…

Here’s my video! In October, I got a whole one organic traffic visitor 😅 I also started a YouTube channel for this website and posted 1 short. This brought me a few referral traffic visitors 😁 I also plan to start a second AI website….🙈

I haven’t had as much time as I would have liked to spend on this project over the last month, but I’m encouraged by the progress I’ve made with the time I’ve had. https://youtu.be/76UzEaresVY

hey y’all! here’s my October report. 🙂

Here’s my update!

So far things are still slow. But I can see ranks popping up in the top 100 and with the little off-site SEO I’ve done, I’d say that’s pretty damn good.

Excited for the next few months where the focus shifts to more off-page SEO.

Ok, I decided NOT to bow out after all.

Here’s the update! Congrats to everyone who is still in the running and I hope November is the month that you see 10x progress.

I feel very behind on the challenge as I have nothing published yet. But I do have 2,589 “Definitions” generated which will be part of my Lawfred.com site. I have not started on NameGrail.com or WordGrail.com, which are the other 2 sites I am intending to build.

So far I have wrote a script to scrape quite a bit of data that I am using as context in my prompts to the OpenAI API to get better output. I find this helps to prevent “Hallucinations” and give better output. I also ran into issues with rate limiting when attempting to bulk generate using the OpenAI API. I solved this by adding a delay of .5s, 1s, and finally 1.5s. Though in the process I did end up wasting about $5 worth of API usage because I was waiting to “save” the previously generated posts in batches. I have also occasionally ran into issues where the API will hang and then I lose all of the previously generated posts. So it is good I was batching them.

I’m hoping that next month I will have a lot of articles generated and published.

Here is my video.

October’s update is here! Slow going so far, but we’ll see how things go! https://youtu.be/2YFBkoMAL24

Dear people.
I am getting more than 500 organic searches by now.

My video is 10 minutes long, because I wanted to share everything with you. I can also send a transcript of a this video, if you feel overwhelmed by my beautiful accent 🙂

What I forgot is say is, that I always tell to chatGPT to write me unusual information and facts, besides the common knowledge.

Here is my video update: https://youtu.be/n3EubXTzf9c

So, in brief, I am running 21 sites for this experiment. I have had some setbacks and operational issues that has delayed my progress. Thus, I still haven’t posted a single article on any of the sites. However, my plan is to post at least 5 articles on each site by mid next week, and at least 10 articles by the end of next week. I have started at a slow pace, but am sure I will catch up.

Finaly got my website up and running. It was a bit of a struggle trying to make the time to get it going. Even managed to post 3 articles. Got 20 more ready to go. My aim is just to improve on my previous months efforts. https://youtu.be/Qv398120dMs

Well, I am an unofficial entry to this challenge, and after seeing the results of other participants I think I’m doing well with my site, as i started late its a 9 days old site and here is the performance so far:

Articles: 14
Web Stories: 10
GSC: 469 Impressions, 3 Clicks
Discover: 171 Impressions, 6 Clicks.

There are no links obviously and I’m posting 2-3 articles a day right now so hopefully my site will do well in next few months.

October Update, not satisfactory results. But lets hope for best: https://youtu.be/bTGwHnhdzwg

Not so good performance yet: https://youtu.be/bTGwHnhdzwg

Sorry, just got on board. Wanted to ask if everyone is using brand new domain? Or people are using expired domains as well?

It appears that I had a sudden case of S.O. syndrome (Shiny Object Syndrome) when I filled out the form for the new site report at the end of October. I filled in the form but never hit the submit button. This time I not only filled in the form but I submitted it. (Sorry for the extra work Spencer.)
Regardless, my report should strike fear in the hearts of anyone trying for last place because I think I have that placement nailed down.
Time for new strategies and time to double down on my learning and my actions. It may just be time to release my inner Web Master.
Good Luck to all.
I have my video uploaded here https://youtu.be/dbZUnBtRnZw

Deadline is almost upon us! 😅

Hi Spencer, will the NEW site challenge update form be shared soon? Making sure I didn’t miss an email. Thanks!

I was wondering If I should start a Twitch blog and later on start selling the Twitch viewers services on it?

thats not gonna work mate
