Hi everyone,
Love seeing the results of everybody π
I am very curious to know how you guys manage to publish such s high volume of AI-generated content without being penalized by Google π This is what happened in December to both of my websites I am growing for the challenge π
I managed to bounce back but only because I heavily edited the old articles and invested more time into editing new articles.

Hello everybody!
Here’s my video! And this time, I decided to post the website summary and the video transcript as well.
I have started a new website and here are the organic visit stats for November:
– Website #1 (launched in September at the beginning of the challenge): 9
– Website #2 (launched in November): 120
Transcript:
Welcome to another interview for the AI Niche Pursuit Challenge! This is our 2-month update with our favorite participant, Nadya from livingoffcloud.
Q: My first question for you is: how do you feel about your progress so far?
I feel very well! This time my progress is much better than it was the last time. I have started a new website! And this website seems to be more successful than the first one. I already have about 120 organic visits in November and the website was launched on November 6th. It is a seasonal niche and there was a lot of demand in this niche during November.
Q: That is great news! Are you doing anything differently with this new website? Are you using the same strategy for producing the AI content?
I moved away from Surfer SEO, which I was using the last time for the first website. Now I generate my content exclusively in chat GPT 4.
Q. Do you feel like your increased success with this second website is due to your change of strategy for producing AI content?
I do not think so. I think it i due to selecting a better-suited niche in which it is easier to produce unique content.
Q: Yes, unique content, very important nowadays! What about the negative, have your faced any challenges with this new website?
Uploading content to the website is labor-intensive and it slows me down. At the moment, I’m striving to make two posts per day.
Q: Can you explain what is so hard about uploading content? I would have expected uploading the contents to be a small amount of effort compared to creating the contents.
Itβs all about the images. You need to download the images, resize them, upload the images to the website, add Alt text, and so on. This is where all the efforts are going to.
Q: I see! One last question from me: What will be your strategy going forward to get more organic traffic?
The strategy is very simple: produce more relevant content. The website has only about 21 articles so far and this is definitely not much. What I’ve learned is that I need to produce at least 100 articles to start seeing more serious traffic.
Q: And you have learned that from previous endeavors, not this AI challenge, right?
I learned it during this AI challenge from an interview Spencer made with somebody who is using AI to generate content for their websites.
Well, that’s all the time we had for today, thank you for answering my questions, and best of luck with the AI Niche Pursuits Challenge!
Hmmm, I never received an email with the form for the 60-day update π€
And according to the previous form, we are supposed to report our progress today, Dec 1.

I guess I will go and film the video report now π¬
Can anybody share a link to the form please?
aggrh, never mind!!! This is a wrong challenge π π
Here’s my video! In October, I got a whole one organic traffic visitor π
I also started a YouTube channel for this website and posted 1 short. This brought me a few referral traffic visitors π I also plan to start a second AI website….π
Just thought that I should write some facts about I am doing things:
– for generating text, I use Surfer SEO, which is a bit expensive compared to ChatGPT but is very convenient to use when it comes to editing the text and uploading it to the website
– in October, I got 1 organic visitor after publishing 11 articles.
– editing the articles manually slows me down a lot but hopefully, it will prevent from getting penalized down the road
– I also use my own images and my own face on these images to show Google that it is not a faceless website!
– To understand my topic better, I bought a subscription to an online community that provides me with a lot of knowledge!
– my niche is in Gardening and I really enjoy writing about it; it is important for me to keep me pushing!
Thanks, Tom! Great thinking here π€©
Thanks Paul π
oh cool, thanks so much for the detailed explanation, Alpi! Appreciated!
Thanks for the reply, Silvia!
I have started a YT channel and plan to post only shorts there. I do not know if you know that YT shorts are like TikTok videos and reels on Instagram.
On TikTok, do many viewers go to the profile to click on the website link? Or is there another mechanism to channel them to the website?
oh wow, what a challenging month has it been for you!
In your video, you mentioned “Web stories” – what’s that?
wow, you have published a lot of content!!! How about the possibility of being penalized? You are not afraid of that?
wow congrats!!! that’s an amazing take-off π
Great video!
I have a question: Why do you want to publish videos on TikTok? And not on YouTube?
Love your enthusiasm! You were not afraid to change your topic, this is great!
Good luck with the 2nd website!
And that’s a great tip on how to quickly add custom knowledge to ai-generated text! π I have been writing my thoughts and feeding them to the ai text generator but it was slow and my text had a lot of typos. I’ll try audio transcript!
100 articles, wow π€― No signs of a possible penalty? I am really scary of getting penalized π
What tool do u use for Pinterest?
Oh shoot, the penalty happened so quickly! Sorry to hear that! I hoped we had more time/content to spare before getting under the hammer π¬ I have been carefully editing all my articles from the beginning, which slows me down, of course, but gives more trust to Google, hopefully.
haha, I love it how you are using AI from the start π
