PP is “BARD to the Bone” | Allow Me to Blow Your AI Mind

No, No, No, Not THAT PP

But rather THIS PP

This is going to be an “interactive” blog post, so you simply copy and paste what I give you below in order to produce your own article.

And for all you who thought that I was anti-AI..

Tut-Tut.

I am NOT.

I am anti “copying and pasting directly from AI when you’ve simply asked it to write you an article, and it’s the most clickbaity thing on the internet that provides NO ACTIONABLE ADVICE, Full of Fluff (NOT Old Fluff), uses words that YOU would never use, and sounds like the most AWFUL sales pitch you’ve ever read in the world”.

A quick wake up call…

Sure, Google has said that “helpful content is helpful content”, therefore the AUTHOR of that content doesn’t really matter, so use of AI is FINE.

BUT

Come On!!!

Have you read some of the blog posts out there lately?

If I asked you to explain any of it, could you?

Plus, there is NO ACTIONABLE ADVICE.

AND the use of clickbait language throughout your articles will TURN YOUR READER’S AWAY.

Readers leaving your articles within seconds = UNHELPFUL CONTENT

So, if you use AI as I’ve seen it used by MANY

YOU WILL get “punished” by Google.

Enjoy your next 3 months of “clickbait, non-advice articles”, you’re gonna get “hit” in early 2024.

So, rather than me berating you, why don’t I SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO.

Here Goes:

YOU'RE Going to Write an Article

Okay, for this I am going to use Google Bard.

More up-to-date than ChatGPT, and as I’ve always said, “If you want to rank in Google then USE GOOGLE”.

Plus, I will include a few screenshots of how I’ve used Bard to write an article.

(Please don’t steal my keyword!!! Hahahahaha!!!)

All prompts that you COPY & PASTE will be in BOLD.

So, go open up Google Bard

https://bard.google.com/

Go and grab a keyword.

What?

You want me to show you how to get a decent keyword?

NO!!

Do you not think I’ve done enough of that over the years?

Go read my previous blog posts and learn how I do keyword research.

Right. Got your keyword?

TAKE NOTE: I knew there was one more thing I needed to add to the "housekeeping rules" at the bottom, but forget at the initial time of writing, so thank you Jovo for spotting this.

Google Bard will provide images within some of the text it provides.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, use these images in your finished article.

The articles are sourced from websites ranking in Google, therefore they WILL BE subject to copyright.

As an example, in my screenshots below for the article I was writing there were images sourced from Men's Health, Bodybuilding .com, and T-Nation.

I immediately deleted these images from my text, please DO THE SAME.

These are NOT your images, they are someone else's, you CANNOT use them in your article.

(Thank You SO MUCH once again Jovo for spotting this and letting me know)

Here’s your first prompt

Using the keyword {KEYWORD}, create an outline for an article using the following criteria. Include a title tag and meta description that entices the reader on the search engine to click, use ellipses in the meta description, along with ensuring the main keyword is included. In the article ensure it semantically covers all aspects of the targeted keyword, along with any people also ask queries from the google search. You will also include any related LSI keywords and specific entities related to your topic. You should look to create an in-depth article that not only covers the topic but adds immense value to not only the reader, but also the search engines.

Okay, this prompt is created with ALL of you in mind.

I guess if you know me, I’m not much of a fan of “keywords” anymore, but rather “topics” to write about.

Furthermore, I don’t use SEO plugins.

And the use of metas and LSI’s is not something that I care much about.

(Remember, the main “Helpful Content” guideline? STOP writing for search engines, START writing for people)

BUT

I know most of you love a bit of “prehistoric SEO” (LOL!!), so you can ALL use these prompts and change them around as you wish.

So, this first prompt, you simply need to remove the {KEYWORD} and replace it with your “keyword” or “topic”.

What we are asking for here is a meta title and meta description for your SEO plugin (SEE, I am thinking of ALL of you).

Then, we want an outline for the article.

Then we want Bard to extract a few People Also Ask Questions that would be listed in the search results for your chosen keyword.

This will be used to create an FAQ section for your article.

Finally, we are asking for a list of LSI (latent semantic indexing) keywords to be added at the end.

These are “keywords” that are closely related to the topic at hand and you may expect to see in an article on this topic.

So, as an example, if your keyword is “Affiliate Marketing Tips” (please don’t EVER target that as a keyword), you would expect the article to include words like, “make money online”, “affiliate network”, “wordpress”, “hosting”, “PPC”, “Organic Search”, “traffic”, etc.

As I say, these words will be listed after the article outline, so you can ask BARD to add them in afterwards (and YES, I will show you how to do that).

NEXT

Can you create a more in-depth outline

Why?

Never trust a first draft, all AI can do better if prompted to do so.

Are you actually doing this?

Are you following along in Google Bard?

If not, why not?

I told you at the beginning, this is an INTERACTIVE blog post, go and do this.

NEXT

We take ONE SECTION at a time and ask BARD to “write” that section for you.

So, the initial prompt is:

Can you write an amazing attention-grabbing introduction using an emotion-based hook to grab readers in, ensuring you cover all points outlined in the outline of the introduction.

WAIT

Now, if you leave this prompt as is, which of course you can do, your choice, you will simply get the type of article we are seeing from pure copy and paste GPT/AI.

Can someone give me a

“Unleashing, Unlocking, Unearthing, Unveiling, Mastering, Cracking, Crafting, Creating, Embracing, Delving…”

NO, None of this please.

So, at the end of the above introduction prompt we are going to ask Bard to not be “clickbaity”

The best way to do this is to simply provide a link to one of your articles on your website.

So, here’s the FULL prompt

Can you write an amazing attention-grabbing introduction using an emotion-based hook to grab readers in, ensuring you cover all points outlined in the outline of the introduction. However, I don't wish any of the article to sound like clickbait, so here is a link to an article I have written on a relevant subject https://yourwebsitename.com/your-chosen-article

OBVIOUSLY replace the url with one of YOUR article urls

OR

Do you wanna cheat?

You are not “stealing” someone else’s content, but rather asking BARD to write in a particular style.

So, I see nothing wrong (an ex-Blackhatter would say this, Hahahaha) with taking a url from someone else’s website that you admire, or think their content is great, or even, from a website that ranks on page one for ALL your keywords.

DO NOT use an article that targets the same keyword you are currently using in BARD.

You DON’T want to steal their content, you DO want to “legally steal” their WRITING STYLE.

BUT

If you have a fairly well-established website you clearly have YOUR OWN writing style already, so if you're ranking well for a few keywords, just use one of your OWN urls.

So, the above prompt is asking Bard to write an enticing introduction around your keyword, but NOT to make it sound like you swallowed a 1970s copywriting book, but rather in the style of YOU (or your stolen style, LOL)

Now, with Bard, when you take it ONE SECTION at a time, you’ll often get the words “introduction”, “heading”, “body”, “conclusion” with EACH subsection that you're writing.

It’s almost as though each section of your ENTIRE article is treated as a mini-article in its own right.

DON’T BE LAZY!!

Those words are there for YOU, not YOUR AUDIENCE.

How many AI-WRITTEN WA blog posts have you seen where these words are STILL in the content.

To me, SORRY, that’s pure laziness (and these are the types of articles THAT WILL get impacted by Google Updates).

AI always requires some HUMAN EDITING afterwards, even if it is just to remove these words as above.

NEXT

We have our introduction, we are now go to take ONE SECTION AT A TIME, here’s the prompt

Okay, next look at body section 1. Let’s create this with the intention to really educate the reader on each of the points mentioned. Ensure that the section has an opening paragraph, and each point has at least two paragraphs associated with it. Once more. please write in a similar style to me, as evidenced in this article https://yourwebsitename.com/your-chosen-article

Once again, replace the url with YOUR CHOSEN url

So, Bard will write the FIRST section for you, BUT AGAIN, in YOUR CHOSEN STYLE (not clickbaity rubbish - “Unleashing, Unlocking, Unearthing, Unveiling, Mastering, Cracking, Crafting, Creating, Embracing, Delving…”)

NEXT

You are going to use the EXACT SAME PROMPT AS ABOVE but change it to “section 2”

Here you go:

Okay, next look at body section 2. Let’s create this with the intention to really educate the reader on each of the points mentioned. Ensure that the section has an opening paragraph, and each point has at least two paragraphs associated with it. Once more. please write in a similar style to me, as evidenced in this article https://yourwebsitename.com/your-chosen-article

You can see the above prompt now has “body section 2” instead of “body section 1).

You will use this EXACT same prompt with EACH SECTION of your article, but simply change the “body section” number each time.

You will do this all the way through the main article AND the FAQ (People Also Ask) section of the article.

So, for most of you, you’ll be using the exact same prompt but changing that first section to

1

2

3

4

5

6

Up to how many Headings there are in your article outline.

RIGHT!!! STOP!!

I can see you squinting your eyes, looking all confused, and totally lost.

Do you know why?

Because you didn’t listen to my initial instructions.

This is an INTERACTIVE BLOG POST.

Don’t JUST read it, that will leave you confused.

Go and do this section by section in Google Bard NOW!!

NEXT

Here’s your next prompt

Finally let’s create our closing paragraph ensuring that you wrap everything up, mentioning key points from each section, really selling the benefits of each part. Encourage the reader to to take action on what has been discussed and offer a final bit of advice related to the topic. Once more. please write in a similar style to me, as evidenced in this article https://yourwebsitename.com/your-chosen-article

ARTICLE FINISHED

NEXT

Okay, this is exactly how I would write one of my articles.

I would simply take out all the Bard included words for ME, i.e. “introduction”, “heading”, “body”, “conclusion”

BUT

For those of you who prefer more “SEO’d articles”, you should add the following prompt to EVERY SECTION

Can you include relevant LSI keywords naturally from the list provided.

Therefore, your prompt will look something like this FOR EVERY SECTION, including the introduction and conclusion:

Okay, next look at body section 1. Let’s create this with the intention to really educate the reader on each of the points mentioned. Ensure that the section has an opening paragraph, and each point has at least two paragraphs associated with it. Can you include relevant LSI keywords naturally from the list provided. Once more. please write in a similar style to me, as evidenced in this article https://yourwebsitename.com/your-chosen-article

And you would do that with every single prompt for every single section.

Okay, there’s a couple of “housekeeping rules” here before you publish, and this is also why ALL AI content requires HUMAN EDITING.

Even though I’ve asked Bard to “write like me”, they still manage to throw a few “AI-related” phrases in there, basically the type of AI-written article is one that doesn’t look like it has been written by AI.

Sounds weird, but hopefully you get what I mean.

One of the most obvious ones is (or perhaps this is just me)

“In this article”

So, a sentence may look something like this:

“In this article, we will discuss the ins-and-outs of keyword research…”

I would simply change that to

“I will discuss the ins-and-outs of keyword research”

Just sounds much more natural to me.

There are a few others, but hey, you can’t expect me to do all the work, go and read your finished article, and YOU work out what sounds a “bit AI”, and could be made to sound more natural.

Remember, the whole point of these prompts is to make Bard write in YOUR STYLE.

Finally, are you still very confused?

Do you know why?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Cos, you STILL didn’t listen to me!!!

You DID NOT open Bard, you DID NOT paste the prompts in with YOUR chosen keyword and YOUR chosen url.

That’s why you’re confused, YOU DIDN’T FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS.

I’ll tell you what, here’s a keyword

Why Do Cats Eat Grass

And yes, this is a legitimate Google Autosuggest/Autocomplete keyword.

Go and open Google Bard, paste the above keyword into your first prompt, and then follow the rest of this blog post.

How’s your article?

Again, I would still “clean it up a bit” and “get rid of AI-sounding words and phrases”, but it should be pretty much “good to go”.

PLUS, you also have an FAQ section included, plus, if you really want to, you also have a sprinkling of LSI keywords.

AND

You have your meta title and meta description written out.

PLUS

You can also ask Bard to provide

Enticing Headings and Subheadings

BUT

Don’t forget to ask Bard to write these in YOUR STYLE (provide your website url).

FINALLY FINALLY (PROMISE)

Now, Google Bard can read most urls, but this depends on the caching abilities of your hosting (KYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You and your caching abilities!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!! I’ve never had to clear cache so many times in my LIFE!!! Hahahahaha!!)

I have done the above successfully with an EXTERNALLY-HOSTED website of mine.

Will you be able to just provide a url if hosted at WA?

I Don’t Know!!! Hahaha!!

I told ya, don’t make ME do all the work, go and find out for yourself, LOL.

If not, you are going to have to copy and paste the entire article in each time you use a prompt (bit of a pain in the butt, although you could simply “legitimately steal” someone else’s url in your niche and get Bard to write in THEIR style, but, I personally would want everything in MY STYLE).

How’s your cat eating grass article looking?

WHAT???

You still DIDN’T do this for yourself and follow the above instructions?

I Give Up!!!

Hahahahahahahahaha!!

Now, go and get yourself 50-100 keywords and start adding some daily articles to your sites.

Thank You For Reading

Partha

P.s. Old Fluff’s gonna have a fit. I have NOT proofread ANY of this, and YES, this is 100% “Partha-Generated”, so, I may have missed out entire sections, there will be spelling errors galore, and my grammar will leave a lot to be desired. But hey, at least you have some actionable advice to follow (And yes, I know, some of you STILL haven’t tried this for yourself, and simply read this article, and nothing more, *Partha shakes head and headbutts computer screen)
