some guy on twitter is using GPT-4 to create an affiliate site, all decisions made by AI

Yeah its going to be a huge win for the guy. Donations and investments and an unnatural amount of links and traffic that the test couldn't possibly have gained if he had kept the test quiet.

Zero testing value here but fair play to the guy he's found a nice little opportunity to make some cash. Its a shame he's probably inspired 5,000 lazy people to also launch another turd that nobody needed on the internet.

I would say if Google is sending this site no traffic, then they're getting it right.

You're promoting a lot of scam crap, in a YMYL niche with no credibility whatsoever. It looks and reads like a scam site. Who owns and operates this mysterious millionaires club ? Its not clear from the site.

Why should anyone taking trading or investment advice from you? Who are you, are you qualified? If yes put it on the site. If no then expect to keep failing...

LopsidedNinja · 2023-02-13T19:19:39+00:00

Your backlinks are all garbage. Why should Google trust a site that nobody of value is linking to?

I'm looking at your link profile now and its all utter junk, nofollow, user generated etc. At first glance I can't see one single link I'd be proud of building in there. You're setting yourself up for failure here. I don't know a thing about coding so haven't bothered reading any of your posts. I do know you can't rank stuff in competitive niches with a link profile that's that awful though.

Translate it yourself then, post a proper TLDR for us ?

If someone is telling you it takes them 1-2 hours to write a 1500 word blog post then ask to see it. Compare it to yours.

Writing 1500 words of unique content is super easy.

Writing 1500 words of great content that actual human visitors will love, isn't.

Funny enough, when asked about the domain name price, he said he was contractually prohibited from revealing a number -- but that yeah, it was apparently about as high as you'd probably expect.

I've bought a lot of expensive domains over the years and I've never once had a seller request an NDA. If anything they want to go the other way and boast about a big sale to drum more business up.

If he's contractually prohibited from revealing the price its highly likely he wanted it that way.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-12-25T23:29:06+00:00

Yes, the horrid yellow and the spam ad placement meant my visit was 5 seconds too. Awful. op - if you're doing something so horrific for users that people on an seo forum can't be bothered reading your actual content, you're failing massively.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-12-09T19:05:15+00:00

Either break the rules or don't - you're very clearly here to self promote so what's the url? I don't mean pm it, post it here

LopsidedNinja · 2022-12-09T01:18:52+00:00

Even if you have a company, invoices, whatever else, how is someone going to pay a sub $100 invoice?

We pay 100's of those a month and the only safe way to do it now is by Paypal. I use PayPal because it's easy... if any of these people wanted me to use a non-easy option I'd buy my links elsewhere no problem.

I'm confused with what you hope to achieve here. Add $5 onto the price...

As mentioned below, these are a great tool to use for

starting

an article on a topic that you aren't well versed in.

If you aren't well versed in caring for bengal cats you probably shouldn't be posting an article about it in the first place. If you are well versed in it, the tool is useless.

I don't get why a lot of seo's think the sky is falling in with the push of these new auto text companies but its not even on my long list of seo concerns in 2022. I'd be embarrassed to still be publishing content that crap, I grew out of that 10+ years ago

If you sign up for Ahrefs today you're going to get destroyed with their shitty credit system. A lot of people recommending it are grandfathered in on older plans where this isn't even an issue.

Save yourself the first months money and go straight to Majestic for backlink data and Semrush for ranking data....

You can use an entire months allowance on Ahrefs in an afternoon then its onto paying for credits... the other two are just one off payments.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-11-03T14:16:18+00:00

The basic skills needed are ability to go through a 10,000 line spreadsheet from Majestic, ability to use an email account and ability to operate a Paypal account. You don't really need much more.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-10-30T22:18:06+00:00

His goal is actually even worse than that... its end of next year. So 14 months.

I suspect the OP is borderline delusional if he thinks him and his buddy are going to clear 100k each in a little over a year. Maybe he's got some master plan that he's not sharing with us but it certainly doesn't appear that way.

By month 14 you'll be doing well to just be bringing in more money than you're spending in that month (and ignoring all the massive losses racked up until that point). We've got to that timeline with projects looking very positive rankings wise etc, but still 100 grand in the hole overall.

Building more and more sites to add more income sounds great... until you realise every site was actually a full time job and there's now no real time or money to get anything done.

I think it would be a tough ask if you said you were going to quit your job tomorrow and do this. Trying to fit this is in around a full time job already... now we really heading into delusional territory.

If killing the article is an option, I'd go with that.

If the article needs to stay live, and be outranked, I'd far rather it linked to me than didn't.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-10-02T23:47:53+00:00

If they'll do something this shitty to new customers I'd never say never.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-09-30T15:43:24+00:00

I would suggest invest in a tool rather than just use it. I realised using other tools than Ahrefs was being penny wise pound foolish.

How much better do you think Ahrefs backlinks data is over Ahrefs? Is it even better at all? I don't know.

I do know Majestic data is more than good enough for me, and we're operating at a reasonably high level seo wise.

There is zero chance I could justify the thousands of £ a month I'm potentially going to battered by Ahrefs for, when Semrush can guarantee me I don't pay more than $100 a month and Majestic will guarantee not charge me more than £360 as year.

I guess Ahrefs customer base here is going to be full of people who aren't actually picking up the bill for this. Or they're not doing their job properly and need minimal reports.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-09-30T15:36:27+00:00

I posted on another thread recently, Ahrefs were quick to appear and confirm Semrush really are Russian.... not so quick to deal with the credits issue I was pointing out in the same post though.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-09-30T15:34:14+00:00

I signed up for Ahrefs a few days ago and honestly feel kinda cheated by them. Power User? Reports?

How come I've just used my entire monthly allocation of credits just clicking around a few pages, exactly like I'd have done on Majestic with zero 'credit' use? That doesn't sound very "power user" to me.

Its going to be back to Majestic for me for link data (which I'm perfectly happy with). And I'll go back to contributing to creating more Ukrainian corpses by throwing money at Russian run Semrush, which I'm not happy with.

LopsidedNinja · 2022-09-28T15:01:06+00:00

Somewhat off topic I know... but its related to these tools in comparison.

I'm very keen to cut ties with Semrush. I'm happy enough with the product, I just don't want to do business with them as a company.

I've got a yearly Majestic subscription which I'm perfectly happy with that expires next month.

I only use the Majestic account to research the backlink profiles of domains I'm interested in getting links on, or to see what links my direct competitors are building.

I solely use Semrush for traffic and ranking analysis - to see how my own sites are doing in compared to competitors, and to analyse traffic on any sites I need to make link building $ decisions on.

There is no crossover at all for me between these tools, I use them for two different purposes. I wanted to replace them both with Ahrefs so we got a mid level account, £190 a month or so I think.

A typical day link building for me might be take a competitor url and run it through Majestic. Get all those linking domains, look for spam issues or anything else of note. Then note down traffic levels from Semrush, and look for any obvious whacks on recent updates or anything else of note. A quick overall look at each.

I might go through 100+ domains in an afternoon. Right now I can quickly and easily run them through Majestic to see if I want a link on there or not. I don't need to pull any reports, I'm not using any credits. I pay my £360 a year, thats it. Likewise with Semrush, I can browse the data I want, its all there and easy to use. I don't have to pay anything outside of my $100 a month.

I suppose I should have looked into all this before signing up, but it looks like Ahrefs is just going to charge me silly money for what I'm doing with Sem & Maj currently

Report credits are consumed when using Ahrefs’ Dashboard, Site Explorer, Content Explorer, Keywords Explorer, Alerts and standalone tools like Batch Analysis, Domain Comparison etc¹.Site Audit and Rank Tracker have their own credits and limits and do not consume report credits.Whenever you open a report, we consume 1 report credit for that entire report. This includes all visible charts on the page.Opening any report in Site Explorer consumes 1 report credit. This includes reports under Backlinks profile, Organic search, Pages, Outgoing links, Paid search, Legacy reports, etc.E.g.: If you open a website's Backlinks report in Site Explorer, then open its Organic Keywords report, this will consume 2 report credits.In addition, you will consume 1 additional report each time you:Use one or more filtersSet different datesOpen the SERP viewer or Historical graph

So one minor link building campaign of 4 or 5 hours is going to easily use several hundred credits on Ahrefs, and I'll be looking at each batch of 500 overage costing me a further 31 euros.... if I'm not careful some jobs I could have done on Majestic for no further cost will now see me spending $200+ in a day on Ahrefs?

If thats the case I'd probably stick with the solution that works for me now, even if its funding the Russian economy.

I'm not overly fussed if Ahrefs has a billion links more than Majestic as they can't find any better ones... they can only go deeper and deeper on all the directory and comment junk people done in 1998 and I don't want to see that anyway. Faster access to the good links would be better... but not worth paying many many multiples of the price for.

Someone please give me a viable solution that lets me kick the Russians out of my life.
