Hello! 12 days ago I created an affiliate site/blog on the Wordpress platform. Up to this moment I have published around 14 articles. The articles were generated with chatgpt according to some requirements given by me. Taking into account that I have no experience in this field, can you help me with some advice? I also have a few questions: 1. what number of articles should be published per month? 2. I created informative articles as well as review articles. 3. what should be the proportion of articles with affiliate links and those without? 4. Can I do internal link-building in those without affiliate links? 5. Can you recommend some free seo tools? 6. what recommendations would you have for me? 7. where could I collect more seo materials?
1. Aim for 4-8 monthly articles to maintain quality and consistency. 2. A balanced mix is good, but ensure you have a solid amount of review articles to drive conversions. 3. A common ratio is 70% informative articles and 30% affiliate-focused articles. 4. Yes, internal linking in non-affiliate articles is beneficial for SEO and site navigation. 5. Free SEO tools are recommended, including Google Search Console, Ubersuggest, and MozBar. 6. Focus on quality content, optimize for keywords, and engage with your audience via social media. 7. Check resources like Moz, Ahrefs Blog, and Neil Patel for SEO materials and tips.
GreenHost above has covered pretty much everything. What I would advise is that you also pay attention to the technical aspects of SEO. These include how you structure content for skimmability and readability, your headings and anchor texts, meta descriptions and proper use of keywords. For keywords, avoid keyword stuffing and use a healthy mix of short-tail and long-tail keywords. Using keywords like these will also help you rank, especially if you use conversational keywords and those that align perfectly with user intent. You also want to include the queries you want people to use on Google and other search engines to find your page in your content. If you do this, ensure you use keywords naturally so they do bot seem forced.
I understood. Thank you for the information provided. Now, I ask one more thing. What do you think about the texts generated by chatgpt. Currently all my articles are generated with chatgpt.
If it’s not just a copy-paste from GPT and you have an idea for the text, then it’s okay. But it’s better if the texts are unique.
Google has repeatedly said it does not care about how you generate content. However, that is as long as it is original, useful and aligns with user intent for the keywords you want to rank for.
I understood I will try to rewrite the articles, but can you recommend a free website that can tell me if the content is original and if it is of quality? Maybe I'm not asking the right thing, but I want to know if Google considers my content unique and relevant.
Google has deliberately made it impossible for you to do this. Why? Because if you knew how they know whether content is unique and relevant, you would be able to game their ranking algorithms. However, you can tell if Google views your content positively when it starts ranking for relevant keywords.
Well.....the articles are indexed but they are ranked somewhere around page 4-5. The website is only 15 days old, should I wait to see how it goes next?
Hey! Congrats on launching your site! 14 articles in 12 days is a solid start. A few thoughts: There's no strict number, but consistency is key. Aim for at least 8-12 well-optimized articles per month. A mix of informative and review articles is great—keep testing what ranks and converts better. Try a 70/30 or 60/40 ratio (non-affiliate vs. affiliate) to avoid looking too salesy to Google. Yes, internal linking in non-affiliate articles is a smart move. It helps with SEO and keeps readers engaged. Free SEO tools: Ubersuggest, Google Search Console, Ahrefs Free version, and Screaming Frog (free up to 500 URLs). Optimize existing content, build backlinks, and analyze what’s working. Avoid AI-generated content without edits—it won’t rank well long-term. Follow sites. Also, join SEO groups on Facebook and Reddit.
Building an affiliate site takes time and effort, and it’s great that you’ve already published 14 articles! Consistency matters more than speed—aiming for 8-12 well-written articles per month is a good strategy. Instead of focusing only on quantity, make sure your content is engaging and helpful to readers. Your mix of informative and review articles is a smart choice. A good balance is 70% informative and 30% affiliate content, so the site doesn’t seem overly promotional. Too many affiliate links can lower trust, so use them wisely. Internal linking is also a great idea, even in non-affiliate posts, as it keeps visitors on your site longer and helps with SEO. Here you can see my website: https://bases-coc.com/, how i have well-structured content and internal links improve user experience and search rankings. Keep going, and my site will grow steadily! For free SEO tools, try Google Search Console, Ubersuggest, Ahrefs Free Tools, and SEO Minion to help with keyword research, tracking rankings, and optimizing content. If you want to learn more, check out blogs like Search Engine Journal, Ahrefs Blog, and Backlinko for useful SEO strategies. SEO takes time, so be patient, track your progress, and keep doing. Keep experimenting with different content styles, optimize your site, and your traffic will grow over time.
Guys, I keep trying to rewrite the articles but when I check them with undetectable.ai the result is not satisfactory. just 1% written by the human factor. What to do ? Any advice is welcome.
