Does Wikipedia give you enough data to create a topic cluster (for a niche you know nothing about)?

Let's find out...
DISCLAIMER: If you want to build a comprehensive topic cluster, there's no substitute for proper research

BUT, that's not always possible (no budget/time, etc)

Treat this as minimum viable niche research (MVNR) which I sadly don't see catching on as the next big #SEO acronym 😅
For this example, let's build a simple content plan around the topic *personal injury lawyer*

(which I know NOTHING about)

First up, see if theres a wiki page:

Niche selection vs analysis paralysis, it's a fine line.

To avoid procrastinating when building content sites, I use a *very* simple checklist before I do anything.
My philosophy for building content sites:

Niche sites are places to experiment + generate additional income. I don't want to spend all my time building, managing or putting all my eggs in one basket.

I want to front load content, get it ranked, revisit + improve.
So based on that, here are the things I look for when deciding to build out a site.

How to find easy to rank keywords (based on domain age)
The premise of this method is simple:

Find young websites ranking for terms you want to rank for.

If a new-ish site with low authority can rank for a KW, so can do too with a more established site (probably).
1. Get URLs

Google a keyword you want to rank for.

Update search settings to show 100 results

Copy all page URLs

AI content + display ads = 💰❓

Is this a profitable way to monetize niche sites? Here are my thoughts on whether AI content get you:

1️⃣ Traffic
2️⃣ Rankings
3️⃣ $$$
I've played around with AI content a little bit. I'm going to highlight ONE page I created with it.

What you need to know:

* published on 26th July
* 1100 words
* low comp keyword in low comp niche
* published on established site
* no links built
1️⃣ Traffic

So far, just that article has gained 278 pageviews. Ok numbers but nothing amazing.

So YES, AI content *can* generate traffic ✅ Image
