Hi Kurt,

I came across a video where a guy said he is getting a lot of traffic by copying and pasting his blog posts into Medium.com reddit etc etc.

And I was wondering if this is still a viable practice...or if Google would frown upon such matters.

The idea behind his strategy was to post the content on high traffic sites...but wanted to get your thoughts on the matter as I trust you more.

Thank you for your time

-Mark

Here's an interesting video from Marcus Campbell where he shows why domain names are NFTs and probably a better investment than many of the other NFTs.
 

 
There's some really good info in the video, but I have a better way to find domains to be resold...and it's fast easy and free. But, you need to show some interest in this thread before I spend time sharing my technique.

AI will change everything. Google seems to be OK with it for now, but I'm guessing that will change in a few years because content will be so easy to create. I'll also guess that not much will change with the low competition keywords, because in these situations, Google will struggle to find 10 good articles for those keywords.

First, it's important to understand copyrights. I'm using US law, you need to research your own situation and it's up to you to double-check anything I saw regarding laws.

Quote:Copyrights protect ways of expressing ideas. As the name suggests, the copyright holder has a right to determine who may copy his words.  The right does not extend to who may discuss the ideas expressed by those words.  For instance, Einstein may copyright his essay on the theory of relativity, but he may not prevent others from researching his theory or presenting it in their own words. In recent years, copyright has been extended to cover not only books and journal articles, but also pictures, films, music, computer programs, and design elements of products.

• Use AI to rewrite them into different versions of our own words
  
• Select the best version based on readability and info
  
• Pick and choose what we think are the best bits of info from different sources that help our audience
  
• Combine them into a single piece of content.
  
• Check content for plagiarism.
  
• And that single piece of content can be used for a webpage/post, video, podcast, email, slide deck, etc.
  

I really like Rytr and use it every day. But you do need to train yourself a bit to get the best results using AI. IMO Jarvis/Conversion.ai is probably a little better at long content, but is much more expensive and Rytr does a lot of other things very well.

Disclosure: This thread contains affiliate links to the Rytr AI content writing app. I'm not just an affiliate, I'm also a paying customer and recommend it because it works for me. The general info in this thread can be applied to other AI content writers but I'm writing with Rytr in mind.

First, let's get into some of the cons:

• There's a fairly small learning curve to get the best results. You can't simply type in a keyword and expect to get a detailed, 1500 word article.
  
• You'll need to double-check facts. I suggest doing the factual research first, then "pheeding" this info into Rytr, instead of the other way around.
  
• Because it's so easy to click the button to create more versions, you can get in a "let's see if it writes something better next time" spin cycle time-drain, which defeats the purpose of using an AI writer.
  
• To get the very best results, you will very likely need a subscription that includes unlimited characters.
  
• They generally don't write content at an expert level, although this can be often overcome with good research.

1. Select "Product Description".
   
2. Go to Amazon and copy a product title and paste it into the Product Name input box.
   
3. Copy/paste a chunk of the Amazon description into the About product input box.
   
4. Repeat a time or two with chunks of customer reviews.
   

1. select Blog Section Writing
   
2. copy a suggestion from the work area
   
3. add a keyword or two if needed
   
4. paste it into the Section topic input box
   

You may see some domain name marketers recommend domain names with potential click through traffic. The idea is that some people type in the keywords + .com into their browser window, resulting in them being taken directly to the domain name, if there is one.

You don't need experts to find these for you and you can probably find even better domains. They generally use recently expired domains for their research. This is a good strategy and can have other benefits like having some established links.

But...expired domains are actually a small fraction of the available domain names because a lot of good names were never registered to begin with. This method lets you check all available domain names, not just those that were deleted/expired.

The expert suggestions are good in they are presented to you and you don't need any creative thinking or work on our part. On the other hand, doing the "elbow grease" really is pretty easy and lets you find domains no one else will. The "secret" is to simply come up with a good starter "pheed" keyword to give to your research tool. There's 1000s of th

Quick Start:

• In your favorite keyword tool enter a general keyword
  
• Filter the results so that only keywords with 10,000+ searches/month are included
  
• Paste filtered keyword data into Excel
  
• Copy/paste keywords only into a text editor, remove blank spaces and suffix every keyword with .com
  
• Check list for domain names for availability and paste available into Excel.

A couple of things...IMO the real value of Instructables and EzineArticles isn't to publish your content on their sites. Instead, it's the usage license of each that allows you to use much of the content posted on these two sites. Be sure to check the terms for each for restrictions and opportunities.

Sometimes things all come together. First, let's start with the old cliche "Never give up!" Is this really the best advice?

There's a common logical fallacy called the sunk cost fallacy. The sunk cost fallacy is the belief that a person should continue to invest in a certain idea or endeavor, despite any negative consequences, because of the time and money that they have already invested in it.

A foundational concept in poker, uses the same concept, which is that it doesn't matter how much money you've already got in the pot. The only thing that matters is the odds/costs/payoff from now on. You could have $1 or $10,000 in the pot. It doesn't matter.

Which brings us to the conflicting ideas of "Never give up" vs. "No sense in beating a dead horse". I feel that logic and Poker 101 tell us that sometimes it's best to move on despite how much we have invested in certain things. The hard part is accurately calculating when that point is.

IMO, this isn't really about giving up the end goal. In poker, the goal is to win money in the long run, knowing that you won't win every hand and that losing as little as possible is just as important as winning as much as possible. In business, you aren't quitting if you fold a hand that isn't working out to focus time and money on something that will give you better odds.

What are some of the tools you can not live without? I'm using email chimp but looking for something better. I like wave video and adobe spark for videos.

Does anyone use Jarvee to automate social media? Is there something else?

First, this is a good example of why I believe you should really consider using the word "complete". Rarely are things "complete" and there's usually something more that can be added to almost any subject or offer.

Which brings us to a couple of very important things missing from this article:

The Complete SEO Checklist for 2022

Actually, I believe there are two missing things that are the two most important for SEO:
Content
Domain name

The article is still a good checklist and you should still check it out. It just isn't "complete".
