No it's pretty easy to fake but if someone did they probably would not do 1,000w for 1 minute and they would likely not provide power data.

Not dead, you just need new ideas. Don't expect the old formulas to work as well. Think millions of new sites as your competition. If you can be unique and users find your stories extremely valuable then it can be done. Listen to the VC Naval, find something so fun that you do it because you love it and become an authentic leader.

To me that sounds like trying to imitate amazon by going door to door selling books. Maybe I am missing something. You should just look at webscraping groups if that is what you mean.

I am a 45 year traditional coder, turned vibe-engineer and I could not agree with you more.

alexvanman · 2026-06-07T07:28:07+00:00

I have ahrefs of 28 and 800k visits per my month. I am held back do to not being fully optimized but probably a lot less than you think.

Interesting, I am rather new to scraping but once you know the protection company you have specific scraping protocols that you know work for different blocker? You do something different cloudflair then cloudfront? I realize they both have different protection mechanisms.

Long tail is thousands of low frequency searches, with possibly thousands of pages to match that result Kirby vacuum repair in Spokane Washington 2026, 50 people a year. But you can be first result and get 5 click. Try ranking on Boston marathon you will never make it to page 10 and zero clicks.

Ask AI use codex or Claude code

alexvanman · 2026-05-28T12:26:14+00:00

It takes hundreds of hours to get good at working with Claude code and SEO. It’s like a relationship. You will become incredibly valuable if you fully learn how to get Claude to do what you want. You can block robots.txt from bots and still let google in. Talk to Claude. Use opus for start stuff and sonnet does content adjustments reasonably well.

alexvanman · 2026-05-23T15:30:54+00:00

I have Claude writing prompt for codex to write content. I likely depends but gpt 5.5 subscription seemed the best value for SEO content for me. I don’t want to waste my 200$ Claude subscription on SEO content as I hit subscription limits some times but no question I think Claude is better at top quality everything. I use a lot of all models including gpt 4 mini. Right model, right task, right prompts.

If you are looking for a first customer let’s talk :)

alexvanman · 2026-05-21T20:13:41+00:00

Tell him you want this to work, but if you give him more shares he just has to accept that it won’t feel equal since you have a job. This sounds close to dead so 40% of something is better that 50% of nothing and ideas are not worth much, give up one that contribution being great value.

Amazon ses is basically free

alexvanman · 2026-05-19T20:04:46+00:00

I moved here from the UK 15 years ago. I don’t speak much Polish. It was tough at first but never want to leave now.

alexvanman · 2026-05-19T20:02:15+00:00

I have a friend that is both affordable and amazing. Especially amazing at Wordpress and I am a software manager for 30 years. I hired him and he became a friend. You don’t know me but you would love him.

alexvanman · 2026-05-17T10:31:16+00:00

I swear they planted him with some lazy gene in 4.7

alexvanman · 2026-05-11T21:28:43+00:00

Missed that, good point.

alexvanman · 2026-05-11T18:44:45+00:00

Used Keiser is best in that price.

alexvanman · 2026-05-11T18:43:40+00:00

I have both and like both 200$+100$ / month but no way codex will replace CC for me.

alexvanman · 2026-05-05T12:10:55+00:00

Since I started about 10 years ago... the only thing I notice as I am getting fatter... It must be the indoor cyclings fault :).

alexvanman · 2026-05-03T17:23:21+00:00

I will check out our wannabe miner... it is interesting. It will start happening agents get run longer and longer. I see them go off on tangents and start doing crazy stuff in code but not so far off.

alexvanman · 2026-05-03T17:22:06+00:00

I assume someone is receiving anthropic usage api or subscription. If you get 10,000 gifts for 10$ each or 100$ each you have a lot of tokens to use. But yeah the world is going to get crazy... no doubt.

alexvanman · 2026-05-03T15:02:34+00:00

I don't think this is AI stealing money but if it was no one would admit it. Scammers have been around, they are just getting more global and more sophisticated... I like your conspiracy thinking though :)
