Update August 2026:
There have been many changes to this website – adding a category dedicated to affiliate products, plus creating full automations for writing the content.
The content is written based on Google SERP data such as PAA questions and content from top rankings competitors. I also write manual input for the AI Agents when I have first hand experience with the topic or products.
Website has tanked in Google. Despite that it is making money as it’s getting good amount of clicks to blog and affiliate pages from Bing (and other search engines). As of today it crossed the 100 clicks per day mark.
On top of that is being cited in Bing Copilot fairly well with 157 pages cited in one day and 2,100 total citations.
For Google is practically dead. I don’t mind as this was a test site and I got already the most out of it. On top of learning thins, it also makes a few bucks ranking on Bing and other search engines (ecosia, duckduckgo, yahoo search).
This site was originally built for affiliate marketing. It later became a dedicated SEO testing ground – where I experiment with strategies before recommending them to clients.

A personal site where I practice and test SEO techniques. Fascinated by the AI content wave, I started publishing articles in 2022 created 80% with ChatGPT (using the WriteSonic platform).
A year later, I applied my advanced keyword research method and published a new batch of articles – this time with more manual editing effort on top of the AI output. This second cycle of articles can be described as “Hybrid AI” content.
Despite the mixed approach, the articles performed better than expected.
At the time of writing this case study, I’m waiting on the results of another experiment. I removed approximately 70% of the content from the site and am monitoring the outcome after 1–2 months.
