HAI EVERYONE,

As AI continues to change the SEO landscape, many people believe it's becoming impossible to grow a successful website through organic search. I have a different perspective, and I want to put it to the test.

A Little Background​

I've been working with programmatic SEO for several years. In 2023, I built and sold a niche website for a low five-figure amount, which gave me valuable insights into what strategies work and which ones don't.

With this new project, I want to see whether the same principles can still succeed in today's AI-driven search environment.

What I've Done So Far​

The website is already live, and I've completed most of the initial setup:

• Built the entire site structure from scratch.
• Generated and published over 800 programmatic pages.
• Created and submitted the XML sitemap.
• Registered a brand-new domain.
• Indexed the website in Google.

Although it's still very early, I'm already seeing the first signs of organic traffic, which is encouraging.

My Goal​

The plan is to grow the website to at least 10,000 monthly pageviews, qualify for Mediavine, and eventually reach around $1,000 per month in ad revenue within the first year.

What's Next?​

The niche I've chosen has several related sub-niches with strong search potential. My next step is to expand into those areas by publishing another batch of targeted pages while continuing to improve the site's overall authority.

I'll be documenting the progress, sharing both successes and failures, and hopefully proving that SEO still offers great opportunities when you focus on the right niche, useful content, and a scalable strategy.

I'd love to hear your thoughts or experiences with programmatic SEO in 2026. Do you think authority websites still have plenty of room to grow, or has AI changed the game completely?
