[UPDATE] Experiments with SEO Neo ... 1 week in :)

Hey all … just a quick Neo update this week.

After the initial hiccups mentioned in the first post, the last 7 days have been essentially, set and forget. Which is nice.

Not strictly true because, after initial campaign setup last weekend, I spent the next 3-4 mornings adding more content using the Open AI API.

Think I created about 450 unique, 1,500+ word articles for the first campaign for free! It’s actually cost me $0.92 so far but only because I slightly exceeded my daily free API token limit by accident.

The first wizard I tried is known in the trade as a DAS:

  1. Domain Authority Stacking

    a campaign where you publish large volumes of long-form, interlinked content across high-authority Web 2.0 or parasite domains, then stack internal links back to a target site or page to funnel authority and indexation signals quickly.

Spoiler: I didn’t create enough content!

You’d think 450 x 1,500 word articles would go a long way? Well this DAS campaign is a beast. Not every post is always successful but in tier 1 alone there’s 200+ blog posts attempted.

Then tier 2 is bigger with 7 tiers all in all, interlinked high tier to low tier, funnelling link juice down to the target URL. A total of over 2,800 posts when all is said and done.

That took over two days to run and I thought, great let’s move on. Then I realised Neo had started a second, sub DAS campaign within the main campaign! There’s a total of 4 DAS campaigns run by this wizard.

It’s insane!

The entire campaign took over 8 days to complete.

A total of over 11k articles/links attempted to be created :joy:

Results …

My target URL for this was a parasite on a less used platform which was sitting at #11 in Google.

A day after the campaign started, the URL completely disappeared from the SERPs and actually de-indexed!

So that’s not great :sweat_smile: … but … I’m fairly confident it will come back.

For one, this was just as the December Google core update began with reports of whole sites de-indexing. Also saw de-indexing happen with some other parasite URLs of mine. Some have already returned.

Second, it’s going to take a few weeks for all these new links to settle in (some will be deleted by alert admins), get spidered and evaluated so remind me to update you in the new year!

Then … I had a bit of a nose about on the Stealth Code Discord server where some frank discussion about using Neo takes place. It seems the parasite I used is no longer regarded as a reliable parasite and is often de-indexed during an update.

Anyway … I used a URL which I wasn’t too fussed about. If it comes back stronger then great - I’ll report in here with the good news.

So, it’s on to week 2.

I’m using one of the built in diagrams this time. Not a wizard. So we’ll see if I set it up properly. I’m targeting a much more solid parasite with a less aggressive link profile.

Let’s see!

ps - there’s probably a lot I’ve missed here so if you have a question about anything I’ve said, do leave a comment and I’ll do my best to help explain.

Yikes! Do explain how you are doing that much for free. I’ve been thinking about creating content ‘en masse’ for one of my sites, was thinking about rigging something up with the API. Though I’m assuming Neo is helping with some of the writing/formatting?

Which type of parasite was that?

Neo pretty much does it all. You add your API key, tell it how many articles (100 max per run), give it the overall topic and a list of keywords … then it goes off and creates all the articles using the default prompt (which you can edit).

The prompt is ‘templated’ and it’s quite clever. It uses placeholders which pull different titles and keywords for every article. To be honest, it’s about as idiot proof as mass content generation gets.

Through the API settings, you can choose to send anonymous usage data back to Open AI so they can continually train the models. In return I think you get 250k tokens free per day. But … I switched to GPT 4o-Mini and cut down the article word count. By doing that I seem to be able to use many more tokens before charges are accrued.

Not sure why!

In the screenshot below you can see on the 14th December I used over 700k tokens and it didn’t cost a single cent. So yeah … it is capable of churning out a LOT of content!

Google Groups … (I don’t want to tempt fate, but as of an hour ago it’s been re-indexed … and ranking higher. Lol)

Nice! I’m actually really excited to see where this goes. It’s definitely an interesting case study!
