A while back we took to the channel to discuss AI. In fact, we were slightly smitten by its capabilities. 

Sure, it wouldn't outright replace writers, but we saw potential in it helping speed up the writing process and unblock the creative process. So much so we went all in and hired 2 dedicated full time AI writers.

1 Year later we reflect on that decision and mull over what the future of AI content really looks like!

In the last two years, Ahrefs, a tool that many people in the industry would agree is the best tool for the job, has lived long enough to see itself become the villain and many now associate the brand with corporate greed. So how did that happen and is it justified?

6 months after a series of devastating updates for many legitimate sites, and the best advice Google could come up with is "𝘜𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴" ?! 🙄 

Honestly, we're getting a little annoyed by Google's attitude towards all of this, and in today's episode, we tried to do what Google could not.

Google just released a fat core update and all the rules you know about SEO are about to change again. As Google has already started de-indexing what they deem to be low quality sites, content auditing has never been more important.

It's the process that might save you from an extinction event during the next update, or could resurrect your site if you've already been affected. Plus, it's the only process that's consistently shown results for websites affected by previous large updates like Panda, medic, spam and core updates.

So in this episode, we dive into what this latest core update means for SEO practices, and break down exactly what you need to do to curate content that will keep Google - and you - happy.

As we come to the end of the March 2024 Core update, many things have changed in the Google landscape, and it’s time to start looking at where we landed.

To help navigate these changes, we wanted to bring a guest that’s out in the trenches every day - prominent and very opinionated character in the industry, Lily Ray 🔥

She hares a ton of interesting insights about SEO on social media, including a lot of original research.

In this episode, Lily and Gael get straight to it and cover many of the hottest topics in search right now, including:

👉 the visibility changes of pure content sites and how your business model may affect your visibility
👉 Reddit and Quora monopolizing search results and how long it may last
👉 HCU, and the divergence between Google’s guidelines and what we observe
👉 signals outside of the“traditional” that Google is giving a lot of importance to these days

We also take a look at specific examples - and they often break the rules - so don’t miss out on this one.

Let’s face it.
Google is probably never going to be the same easy traffic source it has always been.

You won’t be able to solely rely on Google traffic to run an online business anymore, if that’s what you’re used to.

So the question a lot of people are asking now is:
What now? 😳

While nothing is a 1:1 replacement to Google search, in this episode, we talk about ONE of the things we are doing to diversify away from Google traffic: Meta ads.

We’ll show you exactly
 👉 how we plan and build a funnel
 👉 how we angle our ads, how we target them
 👉 how much money you should spend…
 
 … and a ton more practical details for those of you who are interested in taking action.

We’ll also talk about why we think it’s one of the safest ways to go for traffic and a bunch of other high level debates for those of you who are still on the fence.

Even if you hate Google, there is no denying that YouTube is probably the best social network to be doing well on.

We spent a lot of time strategizing and thinking about how to get the most out of the platform while minimizing the drawbacks, and after 4 months our new channel already
👉 outperforms our 6-year-old YouTube channel
👉 outperforms videos of many competitors that have hundreds of thousands of subscribers
👉 is profitable, even though we have a team doing a lot of the heavy lifting

In this week's episode, we reveal everything we’ve done AND the complete outsourced production process that we’ve built for this new channel, so you can do the same.

We've just uncovered tons of tech that site owners should be using to scale their sites WAY better.

The Authority Hacker site redesign has just been completed, and we've already managed to more than DOUBLE our conversions using some weird new elements that we'll share with you in this week's episode. (A particularly big deal now that Google sends less traffic to websites.)

We specifically built it to increase engagement based on what we’ve learned from the recent Google leaks, and even used AI to help us in some parts.

Whether you're also rebuilding some of your sites, or you just want to upgrade your tech, tools and processes, there's something for you in this podcast.

It's no secret that the industry has been struggling for nearly a year now following the HCU. And it's been particularly difficult for beginners to get started, as established sites have been dominating search results. 

So the question everyone’s asking is what future-proof tactics should beginners actually be doing in 2024? (That isn’t spammy or potentially illegal.)

 In this episode, we chat to Jared Bauman, co-host of the Niche Pursuits podcast, about the game-changing way he made an impressive $40k in only a few months, without driving traffic, showing his face, or spending a dime: the Amazon Influencer Program.

Want to learn how to build a repeatable, manageable system to actually make socials generate big bucks for you?

We’re not talking spamming shitty AI images to boomers on Facebook or Pinterest.
We’re talking *building a real business that will survive platform changes*, unlike many of the tactics floating around these days.

In this episode, we chat with Lucy Simkins to reveal how she transformed her side hustle to a 7 figure per year business - in one of the most competitive markets - without relying on Google at all.

We break down her exact content creation process for achieving incredible reach, unique lead capturing strategies, and exactly what works (and doesn't!) in her sales funnels.
Lucy was incredibly generous with information throughout the interview, so whether you're learning how to use social to build an email list, or how to monetize it, this episode has something for you.

Just as we sat down to record our 1-year anniversary of the HCU podcast, Google threw us another curveball... A massive update that's seemingly undoing some of the HCU damage.

But even with these improvements, many sites are still down 80% in traffic compared to last year. To fully recover, they'd need a 400% increase.

So the burning question is: What do we do now? 😧

In this episode, we created an inventory of what's effective today, so you can explore all the options out there and find a strategy to invest your time in now that will yield dividends later down the line.

We break down real-world examples of businesses thriving with alternative strategies, how we're adapting our own strategy, and our predictions for what will work in the years to come.

We're talking real businesses, tangible results, and actionable strategies you can start implementing today.

We haven't been 100% truthful with you lately. And today we want to come clean. 

Hundreds of you have bought our latest product (the Product Review Profit course we’ve recently released that teaches you how to scale the Amazon Influencer Program) and... most of the content used during the launch was AI created.

🤖 80-90% of the words used were written by Claude 3.5 Sonnet 
📩 including the sales page AND the sales emails 
💸 convincing enough for people to swipe their credit card

We created AI content so convincing that it wasn't just undetectable, it also generated 6 figures in revenue in just over a week.

That’s the proof most content creators never give you when they share their AI system. We had to lie to you so we could see how robust the system was in a real setting with lots of money at stake. (A marketing Turing test, if you will.)

And in this episode, we'll show you exactly how we did it, plus some other game-changing applications of AI in our business.

In today's episode, we are playing Google Update Roulette.

The rules are very simple:
1. We give you a URL and you have three minutes to open it, look at the site and decide if it went up or down with the recent Google update.
2. You are not allowed to use any SEO tools to look at recent trends, backlinks or traffic, just your gut feeling, clicking around and Googling things.

Play along, count your your points and let us know what your score is in the comments.

And if you're not interested in playing, don't worry.
There’s a lot for you in this episode as well, because each of the examples that we are going through is symptomatic of a major change that we've seen with the August 2024 core update.
And we'll go through a short analysis of what happened and other sites that have seen these changes too, once we reveal the answer for each website.

So whether you're looking to play along or you just want to know what has changed with the recent Google update, there is something for you in this episode.

In today's episode, we're diving into what might be the biggest shakeup in SEO this year.

Google's biggest crackdown yet has hit major publishers like Forbes, WSJ, and CNN, slashing their affiliate traffic.

Perfect timing – as the DOJ pushes to break up Google's Chrome dominance and OpenAI develops their own browser.

Meanwhile, publishers are mobilizing to monetize AI's use of their content.

In this episode, we're breaking down why Google is finally going after these big sites and what's happened to the search results now that they have.

Plus, what this new browser war means for your SEO and business strategy and how AI is reshaping the entire game of content creation and monetization in ways that people are only just beginning to realize.

This is one episode you don't want to miss.

Felt limited by coding skills or steep developer costs? AI just unlocked the ability for anyone to build custom web tools, obliterating the traditional $10k price tag and months-long waits.

In this episode, we dive deep into "AI Vibe Coding"—the groundbreaking approach letting you command AI to build functional web applications like interactive calculators and custom features, often faster than writing the spec.

We reveal the practical techniques—rarely shown step-by-step—including crafting AI-driven PRDs and using conversational prompts to generate and refine code, even if you've never touched code before.

From building lead-generating calculators to deploying interactive tools directly onto your site with platforms like Gemini, Lovable, and Windsurf, we share exactly how solopreneurs and marketers can implement this today.

We explore the shift away from traditional development, the surprising power now in non-coders' hands, and why interactive AI-built features are the future of websites.
