They still work, but most marketers are too scared to use them.
However, there are still ways to make use of these schemes as long as you don’t care about Google search ranking.
If you go where there are already a lot of internal searching you can build the modern version of doorway pages that funnel visitors to your money pages.
Places like Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are all places where people search for keywords or hashtags to get the content they want.
You can cross-link these to your hearts content because that is expected and all that traffic improves the chance that you’ll trigger the platform’s algo to push your content.
As long as the content is being consumed by people these platforms don’t care if the content is AI generated.
For your main site it’s best if it’s not all AI generated.
There is little chance that you’ll cop a Google penalty from this because it’s very difficult for Google to find a footprint specific to you on these massive sites.
It’s totally different to the old PBN days.

P.S. So where do you get all the content you’ll need to ramp up your online presence?
You’ll need to target the keywords that people are actually searching for and then write to content around those.
There’s a business there, writing extensions for sale on a fremium basis.
You know, give a free version with an enhanced paid version.
A low-cost subscription model, say $5 a month, would work nicely.
Or you could do that the same way Keywords Everywhere does.
The extension is free, but usage is by way of paid tokens.
The free version has limited tokens before you hit the wall and need to buy tokens to do more.
There are so many different ways to make money online it’s hard to limit yourself to one, but if you don’t force yourself to stick to one thing you won’t make any serious income.
There’s been a lot of hype about this new Chinese AI model and I think it’s unwarranted.
I just watched a video comparing DeepSeek to ChatGPT and after one result they couldn’t get another from DeepSeek.
“The server is busy” was all they could get, so I’m thinking that they haven’t spent anywhere near enough money to make it reliable.
During all that down-time the prompts to ChatGPT were churning out result after result.
Hmmm… what’s the best tool to use?
The one that works, clearly.
The thing that will prevent me from using DeepSeek is that it’s Chinese-based.
Some may think that I’m being racist or paranoid, but there are no large businesses in China that do not have Government fingers and control all through them.
We know from how the Chinese Government operates that they will be collecting data from everyone using this AI tool, and it’s probably not in your best interest to supply them with any of it.
We can see, from their threatening behaviour over Taiwan and around the Spratly Islands that China want’s to bully other sovereign countries into conceding to their will.
We can see from the way they treat their own people that we don’t want them to have any influence over any anyone else.
I am well aware that the other AI tools and companies are also collecting my data, but while I think that they should not be doing that I also think there is less of an issue from the USA than there is from China. Will I be proved wrong? I hope so.
My first experiment was to get the incorrect quote generator to use this:- My ex mother-in-law, Norma, was great at spoonerisms. Please create a quote about ordering wine in a restaurant.
Which it did very quickly.
This is the response:-
Okay, here are 3 incorrect quotes based on the idea of your ex mother-in-law, Norma, being great at spoonerisms, specifically in a restaurant setting while trying to order wine:
Quote 1:
Server: “And what can I get you for drinks?” Norma: (Brightly) “Yes, I’d like a bottle of rilled wose, please. A nice, big one!”
Quote 2:
Norma: (Snapping her fingers at the server) “Excuse me, young man! We’re ready to order some… fine pine! Yes, a very fine pine, indeed. What do you recommend?”
Quote 3:
(Norma, after examining the wine list for a considerable time, points emphatically at the page)Norma: “Ah, I see! I’d love a glass of the… shed-ray…it sounds very… lush.”
I did cut out some of the result as being unnecessary.
To be honest, I don’t think these are very good, but it’s a start.
The tool in question has a lot of different functions so I’ll be spending a little more time here.
The other tool that can be used for a podcast type conversation is the audio function in ChatGPT because when you end the conversation you get the transcript.
If you’re not already using the AI tools to assist you with your online work then I think you’re missing out.
They’re going ahead in leaps and bounds and you need to remain well informed.
OK, normally I’d edit this a bit because some of the word and sentence spacing is a little off, but you get the raw video.
The other thing you’ll find is that it has used my cloned voice for the voice-over, something I didn’t ask for.
Invideo gave me a slight North American accent, which I don’t have, but that doesn’t bother me either.
The other thing about this video is that I only gave it the subject, the AI wrote the script, created the title, chose the images, chose the music and put it all together in less than ten minutes.
I think it’s impressive and will keep getting better.
I bought a box of animal crackers. It said on the box “Don’t use if seal is broken.” I had to open it to find out.
My apologies, that’s not a one-liner, but I found it funny.
As I tell my kids when they groan at a comment, “My humour is for my benefit because I find something funny. If you find it funny, that’s a bonus, but it’s not essential.”
Dad jokes are mostly one-liners because that’s how they work.
I really shouldn’t type any more because I don’t want you to think that’s all I’ve got.
