Cannot Understand Interface

[JohnM68]

I bought SEO Content Machine from AppSumo three months ago and have tried three or four times to use it, but have not been able to understand how to start.

It seems like one of the coolest apps that I’ve seen, so I’d like to figure it out.

I’ve watched a number of tutorial videos each of those times, but I feel like I’m missing a big piece to the puzzle and don’t understand how to even get started for my purposes.

I watched the introduction and article creator tutorials each time.

Here’s what I want to do:
I have an ambitious project, trying to “teach” ChatGPT to write song lyrics. To do this, I have broken down the process into about 80-100 elements.

For example, one element is “metaphors”. In general, ChatGPT is horrible at writing metaphors. However, when guided it can consistently write fantastic metaphors. I want to scrape as many different methods of writing metaphors from the Internet as I can and have chat gpt sort through these methods and rewrite them So that I can attach them to a chat GPT conversation.

I will then be able to simply tell it to create metaphors for whatever purpose I want. It’s not quite this simple of course, But that’s the basic idea.

So I need to (For this example) Be able to tell SEO content machine to scrape as much information about metaphor writing as possible. I’m not certain at this point whether I would have SEO content machine write a Tutorial for me using the article writer or if I would feed all of this information into chat GPT myself to distill the information.

Does this make sense To you?

These are the things I would like to do with SEO Content Machine, but I cannot understand how to do this from the tutorials.

In this example, would I put “how to write metaphors” as the keyword?

I guess I would need to use the article writer for this, as there is no way to scrape content using google search without it?

Sorry if this question is a bit vague.

Thanks for the question, lets break it down step by step.

Get content on how to write metaphors.

I would use the article creator.

This tool lets you scrape content from Google and use that content to train your AI.

Create a new Article creator task…

Set keyword to ‘how to write metaphors’

Load up an AI template

Click, Select AI template

Select RAG template

If you want to know more about RAG…
Related: Use AI models to rewrite or summarize the top ranking articles in Google

This is the template that allows you to train AI with scraped content from the web

Click select to load it

Change article prompt to this

%article_title1%

%article1%

Then just run it… (no AI is being used here its just a quick test)

The test will show you exactly what those 2 macros are doing

Test run explained

SCM will scrape google results using the keyword provided

It then writes out the AI template

Now lets check what was created

Click preview button

We only created 1 article,

This is preview of what was created.

Top line is the content pulled into our %scraped_article_title%

Following is the entire content of a %scraped_article%

The next step is, how do you want to use it?

Lets do a quick example.

How to train AI to write metaphor

Back to our task settings

Now you know what these 2 macros do, they just give you access to an article title and article content from Google

%article_title1%
%article1%

You probably don’t need the article title.

So lets give the AI the article content to train it.

To give instructions to the AI, we provide it via [prompt] square brackets

You know its working when you see 2 x orange brackets

Anything inside is sent to the AI

So the instruction is simple, summarize content of article1.

To create a metaphor using an article to train it first, you can do this:

[write a metaphor about cats and dogs using instructions from 
%article1%]

Notice that I put the entire %article1% macro on its own line to give AI hint that it should consider it as research.

Output is:

Summary

• Use article creator to scrape content from Google
• Use RAG template to get started quicker
• The macro %scraped_article% gives you access to scraped content
• Give instructions to AI by putting it inside [ ]

Hopefully this gives you an idea of what can be done.

This is only the first step, we can explore the next steps of what you are trying to achieve and I can show you how to do it with SCM.

Thank you for your quick and detailed reply. I’ve been trying to understand how this works and re-reviewing some of the other material found in the videos and here on the forum.

I’m still not understanding though, what all of these macros are doing.

When you write "%article1%', does this mean that it only uses one of the google search results? Or does this macro process once for each of the valid search results?

I want to do something like the following:

1. Search top 200 google results for “how to write a metaphor”
2. Combine all of this knowledge into a single “article” for my own personal use. Thus, it doesn’t need to be well-formatted or well-organized.
3. I will upload this “article” to chatgpt and work with chatgpt (based upon this document) to refine a method or methods for writing metaphors that chatgpt can follow.
4. I will then have a final series of prompts that I can feed into chatgpt to enable it to write metaphors.

So my main goal with SCM is to scrape the top 200 or so search results and combine all unique information into one long document.

I’m not quite understanding the workflow with SCM. I can see that in the examples above, SCM visits each of the first X# of links, but I don’t know what it does with them exactly.

When I do not use the AI and I view the resulting .txt file, the results are all over the place. I expect this, but there are fragments of thoughts that do not make sense in relation to the rest of the content, and oftentimes seemingly not connected to the primary “metaphor” theme.

I don’t think I want to use “[summarize %article1%]” (?), as it wouldn’t give a sufficient level of detail (?). And again, does this summarize/combine all information from all of the google results? Or just one?

I used to dabble in various programming languages, so I am familiar with the basic concepts here, but the implementation/syntax is unclear to me. I’ve watched most or all of the videos that relate to what I need to know at least once, but I quickly get lost in each of them because there is something I don’t understand about the variables. And I don’t know exactly what it is I don’t understand about them, so I can’t ask more specific questions.

1. %article1% is referring to one article

You can scrape all 200 pages and put it into one document, however it will be a very large document and most likely can’t be to pasted into chatgpt.

Your prompt size is around ~2700 words per prompt.

If you just want research, run the task and click on locate cache

Find sentences.txt

This contains filtered list of content related to your search.

Re relevant content, I’m not sure what prompt you ran but the AI is creative and as you said will generate content you may not need.

I think the sentences.txt file is all you need if what you wanted is to gather research for your ai prompts.

You can turn everything off as well:

All this does is generate cache of content for the keyword.

The visit xx links, its SCM scraping the top results of Google for content.
