Case study: Making $5k/mo from my blog using my own SEO content software

I've added a section to the end of this post with the details of my site, stats, earnings, and more! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Thanks everyone!

I'm going to update the post with more stats, examples, etc. so I will reveal it all at once!

Great question. I try to differentiate between "plagiarism" and "duplicate content." The tools doesn't plagiarize and encourages users to cite the sources (which it does automatically in the text editor).

As far as plagiarism, the answers are sourced and cited throughout the software and users are encouraged to link to the original sources. I think this is a best practice and good for both readers and SEO (to cite sources) since it adds a level of trust and reduces the likelihood that readers for the content will hit the back button vs continuing onto the source site. I also think it is good to give credit to the original source.

As far as duplicate content, the goal is to rewrite the answers enough to pass duplication checkers. But I would encourage anyone to think of it as an assistant, and put as much as they want into their own words/voice, etc.

Some things to note: the questions are 100% unique and not curated or sourced from anywhere. The answers are curated from sources with the goal to reduce the time to research, learn, and build on top of them. You can think of it like a search engine vs a content copying tool. If it helps to use the rewritten versions then that's up to the researcher/user of the tool. I've personally found it very useful, but always link to a cite all my sources.

I think you're spot on. Took the words right out of my mouth ;)

Thanks for your interest! What email did you sign up and I'd be happy to go deeper :)

Of course! Apologies for everyone for any delays. I've actually got a lot of unexpected requests to beta test and I'll need time to go through them all. I'm as early as a founder can be and want to get as much feedback as I can, so I will be reaching out to get feedback soon! Good problem to have, I suppose.

Yes, it can!

Sacrebleu! I found the French version: https://www.car-engineer.com/fr/10-fonctions-daide-conduite-du-nouveau-ford-f-150/

1. The stats and data I shared are 99% Google search traffic.
2. I have no idea how much I will charge. Very early in the process, but good problem to have! I will update here as I build and talk to users.

Thanks for the question. It is a combination of both. I have my own pipeline/training process that uses a variety of existing models. There’s no way to do something like this without a lot of fine tuning, custom processes.

Thanks for the heads up! That was just a mistake by me. The logo doesn't feature any link now.

Yes. AHREFS and SEMrush are estimates based on estimated monthly search volume and keyword rankings, whereas Google Analytics is actual traffic data. Is that what you’re referring to?

Hi Allison, this looks really cool! I've always loved programmatic SEO and automation for the same reasons as you. From a business perspective, the ROI on programmatic SEO or automated content vs manually written content is so much better, but creating a solution that search engines and users like is always the most difficult part!

How different content needs to be is such as tough question! I think it really depends on whether you're talking about the article/content pieces as a whole or not. The way I think about it is that if enough parts of the content piece create a unique combination of sentences (even if they are duplicated across other sources) it will be seen as something new or "unique" For example, if you create a 1,000 word article with 3 sources and three paragraphs (one from each source) that are completely copied from those three sources; then that percentage of the whole article vs the other sources is highly duplicate (and easy to tell for a search algorithm). But, if you create a 1,000 word article with 100 sentences pulled from 100 different sources; then that combination creates a highly unique, new piece of content (algorithmically or mathematically speaking).

In general, I think that if the user gets a lot of value, and the end article or piece of content features a high variety of sources and useful information; then it's not only unique, but will perform extremely well. I think you can get into trouble if you're just trying to mix up the words for the sake of deduplication vs for the sake of valuable, various information/answers.

Awesome. Thanks for signing up! I will be reaching out to everyone very soon! That sounds like a great use case. I’ve used the software to generate lots a content around very niche products like specific tire models which has worked really well. I will try and update this post with more specific case study info today or tomorrow!

Absolutely agree. What would you want to see in a more in-depth case study? I could publish more with my strategy, earnings, website, specific content, how articles created with the software are performing, etc. Is that what you mean?

Hello and thanks for signing up! Apologies for that. I just had it set to create new Users as "Subscribers" in Wordpress. I've updated it now, so that shouldn't happen going forward.
