basitmakine··on Show HN: I automated Semantic SEO-optimized content generation
Hey everyone.

I post F* ton of content for my B2C and B2B software. Inbound has been one of my biggest new customer acquisition channels ever as a bootstrapped. Over the years my strategies have evolved with what Google seems to like the most. I've found great success this past year with semantic seo principles, so I developed a tool to automate our content and we made it public. Yeah it might be another 1000th content writer out there. But it's a little more than that. WordAssistant analyses your top ranking competitors on Google for your target keyword and extract all the entities and data they're talking about.

With all the entities & topics Google sees worthy of ranking at the top, it then writes the final content with GPT-4o. As a result, you end up with a power content that's combination and improved version of the top 5 Google results.

Now compare it to boilerplate ChatGPT content or any other GPT wrapper and you'll realise how different the content output will be. This strategy is doing wonders for our content marketing and I hope you'll see the benefit in it.

basitmakine··on Scanning books at 250 pages a minute (2008)
#IDidTheMath

There are about 129,864,880 books in the entire world. The median length for all books is about 68000 words. It would roughly translate into 250 manuscript pages in average.

If you must know, it would take 247 years for one scanner to do its magic and digitalize all the books ever written.

Ps: Pretty sure I screwed something along the way, would appreciate if you don't roast me for my math :v

basitmakine··on Ask HN: Did you delete your Facebook account in 2018?
I don't know man. I'm just perfectly ok with them sneak peeking into my conversation trends and extracting key phrases for targeted ads..

I mean, what is the alternative? You can pay subscription fees(noone would), or see generic ads(no company would advertise due to next to zero CR).. Either way, facebook is dead.

What makes companies like Facebook, Google etc unique is that, their ability to appease to both sides of the market.

If they don't, they simply cannot exist. And lack of privacy is a price we have to pay if we want these services in our lives.

Maybe I'm morally corrupt. Idk.

basitmakine··on Ask HN: Did you delete your Facebook account in 2018?
I actually, in a strange way, don't really care about all this privacy stuff. A for-profit company looking into my personal preferences just to show me better targeted ads, instead of boring, generic ones? What's better than that?

They're either going to charge me monthly subscription fees, which would kill the whole business in an instant, or find a way to make a profit off ads.

basitmakine··on Show HN: Seotify – Reveal your competition's heatmap and traffic data
Hey everyone! My startup, Seotify has just rolled out its 3 app, Site Explorer, a competitive analysis tool that allows you to discover your competition heatmap data, and discover their traffic and engagement.

I thought YC community would be the perfect place to ask for some feedback :)

Feel free to comment below if you've got any questions.

basitmakine··on Show HN: Word Assistant – Take research process out of your writing
TL:DR; I made an app that makes you write 10X faster. It basically takes the research process out of writing and tells you everything you should write about, in an organized way.

So, let me tell you the story of the app quickly.

4-5 month ago, I was hopelessly thinking, how could I make a news site I own compete with the big players in the industry but at the same time, keep operational costs as low as possible.

Creating enormous amounts of content daily was the issue, of course. To solve that problem, I first needed to understand the content creation process. So I've setup screen recorders both on my and a few editors' PCs and we've started writing news/reviews articles as usual.

Soon after I watched the screen records, I realized an odd pattern, instead of actually writing, 80% of our times were being wasted browsing through tabs and reading what others have said about the topic that we're writing about...

At that point I knew I was onto something, because, if there's repetition, there's a room for automation.

With those findings in my mind, I came up with a hypothesis; Anybody could write great and in-depth articles without banging head on the keyboard, as long as s/he knows what to write about! So, long story short, I made an app that scans the web for you, finds relevant articles, extracts key points , important events and feeds you with new angles in an organized way as you continue your writing. So you never get distracted and waste precious time browsing through the tabs to see other people's point of view. My hope is that, it'll help each one of you by taking your content costs down and freeing up your time! So, here you go;
