🔨 Long story short:
I built a finance blog using 100% AI-generated content (thanks to ChatGPT & Gemini!) and AI-created images (Midjourney is impressive!) to practice my AI lessons!
🚀 Shocking Result no1:
Ranking Success! Despite no backlinks or social media presence, the site quickly ranked and even outranked established industry players for a few very competitive keywords! This left me scratching my head.
😱 Reality Bites:
Google's Core Update March 2024 My website's rise came crashing down. Traffic and visibility plummeted to near zero. While I added my own edits, I knew AI-only content might raise Google's red flags. Plus, let's be honest: Google loves big brands, right?
✨ Surprise Twist!
Back in the Game (and Even Stronger!) But here's the kicker. After a short recovery time, the site's visibility is bouncing back, even exceeding pre-update levels! This turn of events has me genuinely surprised.
📜 Key Takeaways:
- AI content can be surprisingly effective as long as you don't overdo it :)
- Google's updates can be brutal, but don't give up!
- Instead of complaining or sacking your SEO guy, review and fix the issues.
