I ranked a DR 0 site for a 23k search volume keyword. I also landed AI overviews and ChatGPT mentions for the article. Watch this quick video for three examples of AI generated content working for SEO, AI overviews, and ChatGPT mentions. I show real GSC performance and live examples of their rankings. ~ It's fair to say that AI generated content definitely can and will perform if done well. If everyone uses AI to create their content (most already do) - then it's a game of whoever has the best AI wins.

Many people think that creating a website and doing its SEO is very difficult, but I made a website a little while ago and have already started working on it. Today, I checked the stats of this website, and now I’m even thinking about selling it. P.S.: My main reason for posting this is to say that nothing is impossible. Just try to put in the effort, and God will reward you for your hard work.

Sharing a quick breakdown of an eCommerce store I recently observed that had an interesting growth spike. Background This Shopify store was doing low 3-figure daily sales earlier in the month. Most of the traffic came from branded searches and a few paid campaigns. Organic visibility for commercial keywords was limited, and the main issue was lack of authority in a competitive niche. What Was Done Over a few weeks, the team focused on: - Publishing high-quality content targeting transactional keywords around the main product line. - Building contextual backlinks from relevant, niche-specific blogs (no generic directories or swaps). - Optimizing internal linking to ensure top pages received the most link equity. - Updating meta titles/descriptions for CTR improvement based on Search Console data. - Results (based on Shopify analytics): - Total sales (yesterday): $8,433.19 → 592% increase - Orders: 227 → 588% increase - Conversion rate: 1.93% → 25% improvement - Organic sessions contributed to ~65% of total revenue for that day. - Key Takeaways - Backlink quality and placement relevance still have a measurable impact on organic sales. - Internal linking is underrated — it helps distribute authority and supports category pages. - Even small adjustments to on-page content and titles can significantly improve conversion behavior. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula, but it’s a nice reminder that SEO compounds over time, especially for eCommerce stores in competitive spaces.

Outcome, in plain numbers - From 100k to nearly 1.3m monthly organic visits. - Ranking for “Project Management Software” and thousands of adjacent high-value terms. - Some individual pages generate $10k per day. That is page-level revenue, not just site-wide. - Portfolio lift followed as we replicated the wins. While many publishers, affiliates, and software companies are experiencing multi-year traffic declines, this site broke out and accelerated. The win was not volume-related. It was all about focus. We consolidated strength, concentrated authority, and protected what worked. Here’s how we pulled this off 1) Eliminate keyword cannibalization What I saw Multiple pages targeting the same or very similar terms were splitting signals and confusing Google. What we changed Consolidated overlapping assets into fewer, stronger pages using custom cannibalization analysis tools. Preserved the best content, redirected the rest. On a high-authority domain, this produced ranking lifts almost immediately. Why it works One clear intent per query lets link equity, user signals, and historical performance compound on a single URL. 2) Build a champion page for the head term What I saw Several similar pages were going after long-tail variations, while the category head term lost rankings. It ranked #8 at its lowest point. What we changed Focused our efforts on a single flagship “champion” page to win the biggest keyword on the site: Project Management Software. Redirected weaker or underperforming variants into the champion. Fed it links, topical coverage, and historical data. Why it works Google increasingly rewards comprehensive, authoritative resources that satisfy broad intent. Champion pages aggregate both authority and coverage across long-tail phrasing. 3) Replace JavaScript navigation with clean HTML What I saw A JavaScript-driven menu limited crawler visibility and throttled PageRank flow. What we changed Rebuilt navigation in plain HTML. The result was a visible unlock in crawling, indexing, and internal authority distribution.

One of my best students has been applying everything I've provided in this group. Working on a DR 3 website. It was DR 0 at the beginning. For a while, there was nothing happening on the site, but he had faith. New websites are slow to get off the ground. Now it's picking up. And yes, this is with AI generated content. He manually reviewed and edited pages as recommended, but AI is doing the heavy lifting here. Now we're going to apply more scale to this site.
