How one marketer used AI grow his website from 419 to 2,930 daily visitors in 120 days

⚠️ Disclaimer: AI Marketing School doesn’t recommend following this strategy if your brand already has a well-established, reputable site.

Julian Goldie, SEO Link Builder and founder of Goldie Agency, decided to run an experiment to test just how effective AI content could be in boosting SEO results.

He’s been using Autoblogging.AI to create thousands of SEO-optimized blogs and publish one per hour, around the clock.

The result? He’s managed to:

• Turn $3 into $50 daily ad revenue

• Grow from 419 to 2,930 visitors a day in 120 days

Julian followed a three-step strategy:

1. Target low competition questions that are HIGHLY focused on a single topic

2. Bulk create the content using AI

3. Every week, consistently build backlinks with outreach to grow the site’s authority

What marketers need to know

• While there are some key lessons to learn from this experiment, don’t assume this is the right strategy for all businesses.
  
  As Julian says in this video, “If you were a bank and this was your main URL, would you do this? Never in a million years… It’s just for people who want to scale fast, if you like to experiment with SEO, and want to rinse the ‘SEO gold rush’ as some people are calling it.”
  
  

• By only publishing one AI-generated blog per hour, you’ll avoid maxing out your site’s crawl budget and getting penalized by Google.

  
  

• The increase in visitors shows that Google accepts AI-generated content, so long as it’s high-quality. The content matters more than who (or what) wrote it.

Google changes its privacy policy, collecting public data to train AI models

Google has just updated its privacy policy, allowing the tech giant to use publicly available data to train its AI models and enhance its services.

Previously, Google stated it used people’s data to improve "language" models. Now, however, it will use publicly available data to power all of its "AI" models.

Google has emphasized that this will lead to significant advancements in AI-powered tools like Bard. However, the new policy is also raising important privacy and legal issues about how tech giants can—or should—use online data.

What this means for marketers

• Improved tools and insights: With more data at Google's disposal, marketers can expect improvements in the company’s AI-powered tools. This could provide marketers with deeper insights, helping them refine their strategies and better understand audiences.
  
  

• Increased privacy concerns: This move might escalate consumers’ privacy concerns. Marketers must to ensure their data practices align with evolving regulations and societal expectations to maintain customer trust.
  
  

• Transparency in practice: With increasing public awareness around data usage, marketers may need to demonstrate even greater transparency in their data collection and usage practices.

OpenAI has temporarily disabled its ‘Browse with Bing’ feature after realizing that it often provided users with the full text of articles hidden behind paywalls.

Oops.

On the 3rd July, the company announced “We’ve disabled the Browse with Bing beta feature out of an abundance of caution while we fix this in order to do right by content owners."

Fingers crossed it’s back in action soon—ChatGPT’s not the same without it.
