This website makes £50K per month by scraping featured snippets and Also Asked answers, and reposting them on their website. When Google says “don’t post AI content because it’s bad” and then you see automated stolen content generating millions of users in monthly traffic and millions of £££ in revenue, you start to think what the heck is Google talking about? This is how the website from this case-study has done it: ✅ They bought an expired domain name lisbdnet . com ✅ They scraped millions of “People Also Asked” questions AND the short answers for them (yes, that is content from other websites!) ✅ They grouped these questions by hundreds of thousands of topics, and automatically generated hundreds of thousands of pages on a basic Wordpress website ✅ They’ve re-used the “Also Asked” questions and the stolen content that they scraped to generate dozens of sub-heading on each page ✅ Now, they have hundreds of thousands of pages, with lots of sub-headings, that can target millions of long tail keywords ✅ They’ve used a YouTube search API to automatically get the top 4 videos for a relevant search query, and they embed these videos automatically on their page ✅ The extra videos will add “extra “value in Google’s eyes, and potentially make people stick more to their pages ✅ Their website generates over 6 million in monthly traffic, according to Similarweb ✅ The website is being monetised with [Ezoic]* Ads, generating them over £50,000 in monthly, free passive income, with a 100% profit margin (* The website might not be with Ezoic anymore, I have found traces of Ezoic code and a history of Ezoic IP proxy address, but that is not the case anymore, from what I can see.) Yes, I know this website will eventually have its end, sooner or later. But until then, it will have generated probably a few millions of £££ in passive income, with almost 100% profit margin. So how can you replicate this? In order to do it in an ethical way, I would NOT recommend stealing other websites’ content, the way they have done it. What I would do is: ✅ I would scrape their website - get all the hundreds of thousands of pages, titles and sub-headings on each page on this website, with a basic Python scraper. ✅ Organise that data in a database. ✅ Now that we have all the pages, titles and sub-headings for each title nicely organised in a database, we can generate content for each sub-heading with tools such as Jasper . ai and publish the pages in a semi-automated way ✅ I estimate that with this method you will be able to publish about 100 pages per day, that is over 2500 pages per month ✅ Once you start having over 50K pages published, sit back, enjoy the long-tail traffic flooding in, and start counting that £££ overloading your bank account 💰 P.S. I have actually started doing the above, we are already scraping the site big-time 😉 #seo #passiveincome #seoinspiration
How did they automate the process of scraping?
This is a proper Ocean's Eleven style content heist
Ezoic this is how you said you do due dilliegence?
Fery another great post as usual. Just to add something I am playing around with at the moment. Get the top youtube videos as suggested. Plug into otterai to transcribe the script (or can download subtitles). Plug that seed script into jasper.ai or your own gpt3 account and repost the output. Long form content with a load of long tail keywords at scale from high quality seed content. Programmatic explainer video creation....
What Google Says != What Google Does
Why expired domain? Backlinks?
Fery Kaszoni interesting read- this site definitely is not using Ezoic though. We've got a stringent approvals process and sites with scraped content are a no go 😊 Looking in the page source I see a few different AdSense accounts and ads.txt throws up some different partners.
Shocking you can make so much money from scraped content, the question is when they will get banned and how much direct traffic they will earn
Them sneaky b***... How do you find such websites?
