Can AI fully run a blog? Thinking of using Claude 3.5 for content

AI and SEO Forum

Hey everyone. Quick question.

Do you think running a blog where almost all the content is made by AI will work?

I’m planning to build a large niche blog using Claude 3.5. I won’t just throw in keywords and let AI do its thing. I plan to work with it, adjust paragraphs, add info, and make sure the content is solid.

The idea is to save time and focus on SEO and outreach like guest posts and podcasts.

Will Google penalize fully AI-generated content if it’s detected? Or could it still rank well and bring traffic?

Honestly, most human-written stuff isn’t great either. If the quality is there, AI content can rank just fine.

Try telling that to content writers and see how they react.

The issue is with large-scale AI content. Google might detect patterns at scale, which could trigger penalties.

Check Google’s spam policy.

Scaled content abuse means creating tons of pages to manipulate rankings without offering much value.

They say AI-generated content without user value falls under this. Even if the content makes sense, too much of it can raise red flags. Watch out for scraping or mass content production.

Thanks for this!

I’m planning to add real value and go deeper where needed. I’ll also structure it horizontally, not just vertical clusters. I’ll link each post to a service page too.

I won’t flood it with pointless info, but I need AI to speed things up. This way I can get more done in 4-5 months. Does that sound like it could work?

Google won’t know if you’re adding value—it just tracks patterns. If AI scales too fast, it might trigger their spam detection.

Google doesn’t check if content is AI or human-written. There’s no way to detect that.

They track how often content is published. If you go from 1 post a month to 200 posts a day, that’s a red flag. AI detection isn’t about content style—it’s about speed and volume.

Got it. I was thinking of posting around 1-2 times a day to keep it natural. Maybe 30-40 posts a month, nothing crazy.

I want AI to handle the bulk of the writing so I can focus on other parts of the blog. Does that seem like a safer approach?

@Caiden
Yeah, that’s a safer way to do it. I sent you a PM with a tool that helps schedule AI content over time. Works for WordPress and Webflow.

I tried a similar approach, slowly posting AI content. It worked at first, but Google’s December update wiped my traffic. I wouldn’t rely too much on AI long-term. It feels risky.

That’s rough. Do you know why it happened? Were the articles repetitive or too similar?

AI can help a lot if you mix it with human edits.

Try:

  • Using AI for drafts and data-heavy sections.
  • Adding personal insights and rewriting parts.
  • Keeping an eye on quality.

AI won’t hurt your rankings as long as you add value. Google mainly checks if content is useful, not if AI wrote it.

13

I wouldn’t let AI write everything, but it’s great for brainstorming and organizing. AI can copy your tone if you give it examples of your writing.

I’ve seen AI-written blogs do fine, so it’s worth trying.

14

If you guide AI with your own writing and just polish it up, it should rank fine. Just avoid overused AI phrases. Make sure the content feels natural.

AI works well if you give it clear prompts and adjust the structure. Don’t let it generate basic filler content. Add useful info where needed.

AI can be a big help, but you still need to guide it.

Good prompts help, but AI still follows patterns and can be wrong. Don’t trust AI for facts without checking.

Google ranks basic content too. It’s about domain authority more than perfect content. Don’t overthink prompts.

Thanks. I’m aiming for around 300 articles at launch. Do you think that’s too much at once?

The number isn’t the issue. Google flags scaled content that’s machine-generated. Be careful with rapid publishing.

What’s the best way to avoid that? Spread it out over a few months?

@Caiden
Yeah, slow it down. Publish gradually.
