Franken-SEO: The Revived Content Engine

Inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, where discarded parts are reassembled into a powerful being, and Ex Machina's exploration of AI manipulation, this SEO project focuses on 'reviving' existing website content. Many websites have articles that were once relevant but have lost their ranking due to algorithm updates or competitor activity (the 'dead'). Instead of creating entirely new content, which is costly and time-consuming, Franken-SEO re-purposes and enhances these existing pieces.

Here's how it works:

1. Identify Underperforming Content: Use Google Analytics or similar tools to find articles with low organic traffic, high bounce rates, or declining keyword rankings.
2. Competitive Analysis (Salary Insights Parallel): Employ web scraping tools (like Beautiful Soup or Scrapy, similar to a 'Salary Insights' scraper) to analyze top-ranking competitor articles for the same keywords. Extract key elements like:
- Keywords used in titles, headings, and body.
- Content structure and subtopics covered.
- Internal and external links.
- Semantic keywords and related terms.
3. AI-Powered Rewriting and Optimization (Ex Machina Influence): Use AI tools (like GPT-3, Cohere, or even more affordable open-source alternatives) to:
- Rewrite the underperforming article based on the competitor analysis. Focus on incorporating relevant keywords naturally and improving the overall flow and readability.
- Optimize the title, meta description, and headings with high-performing keywords.
- Suggest internal and external links based on the competitor analysis and relevant content on your website.
- Add relevant images and videos to improve engagement.
4. Iterative Improvement: Monitor the performance of the 'revived' content and make further adjustments based on data. This creates a feedback loop for continuous improvement, mirroring the ongoing refinements in Ex Machina.

Low-Cost & High Potential:
- The project relies on readily available and often free tools (Google Analytics, web scrapers with free tiers, open-source AI models, or low-cost AI services).
- It avoids the high cost of creating entirely new content.
- It has high earning potential by improving organic traffic, lead generation, and ultimately, conversions for websites. This could be offered as a service to small businesses or used to improve the SEO of your own websites.
