Scaled content abuse. Intentional or unintentional. How does 'how many kids does rihanna have' relate to GeeksforGeeks website? @sandeep_jain

Is this something new?

Testing Facebook traffic. An average of $0.017 per click from USA is sweet. Just need to figure out some niches where ad networks pay a good RPM. An RPM of Anything above $30 is 40%+ profit. If anyone can help me with it, do let me know. Also, I will be happy to run ads for your articles if your niche site gets a good RPM. DM for more.

Tag someone who is into Fitness Niche. I have a growing site with amazing authority to sell. Most of the content is written using Cuppa (Thanks @Charles_SEO ) and also managed to get into google discover. The recent article that went into discover made $700 from AdSense in 3 days.

"Expert" SEO: 1. Makes a list of competitors. 2. Checks the keyword gap on Ahrefs. 3. Creates a list of 100-200 untapped keywords. 4. Hires a writer to compose articles on those keywords. 5. Writer manually produces content using information from top 10-20 results. 6. Publishes all articles over the next 6-12 months. 7. Waits for Google to rank those articles. SEOs be like: "Wow! Good work." Meanwhile, someone else: 1. Scrapes the sitemap of competitors. 2. Generates thousands of topics. 3. Uses AI to write all the articles. 4. Publishes everything and shows the traffic increase SEOs be like: "That is stealing, shame-shame, etc." Isn't this the same thing but scaled up using AI content? I myself wrote the same guide in 2015 and called it "SEO Sweet Steal Technique". Almost everyone "Steals" keywords from their competitors. I understand that thousands of AI-generated articles may lack quality. But why blame the SEO (not naming him) here if Google ranked his articles? Were the articles he outranked "not helpful"? If anything is wrong, it's the algorithm's inability to detect low-quality content in real time. His site might tank after an update. Tbh I will call him courageous to take such a risk. And by the way, with the number of views on his tweet, the guy might have sold his AI writing tool more than what many couldn't achieve with Black Friday offers. He simply sold his product. If you really want to call him out, do so for his tool (if it's bad). Btw, the site he talked about is Casual(dot)app. Check the site and content yourself. (It is going down slowly). One important thing that I want everyone to understand is the fact that these things do not work long-term with every niche or keyword. The key lies in learning to identify the niches/keywords that can rank with AI content. Spend time on that rather than pumping AI content in every niche. Another crucial aspect is how you generate AI articles. There are one-click tools and then there are more advanced tools where you can give an entire outline, facts, background info, etc. Play smart, and if you're someone who criticized him on moral grounds, maybe it's time to rethink. ;)

Where are the co-relations with respect to backlinks?? I remember back when EEAT was not introduced as a TERM, people used to compare sites and evaluate Google updates with respect to backlinks. I have read over 100 tweets since the HCU update and I hardly see anyone talk about the drops/gains just with respect to backlinks. Google and many SEO experts made the majority of the SEO industry work and revolve only around content quality, entities, author profiles, and On-page factors to such an extent that there's almost no talk about Actively building backlinks. Never forget that backlinks will always be the most important factor when it comes to SEO. You may survive without backlinks only for short term (or until Google comes up with updates). A lot of travel blogs that I checked did no link-building whatsoever. 8-15 contextual links here and there, that's it. Such sites are bound to tank (even if they have the best content with real authors, shop, email form, and whatnot) and get replaced by someone who is better with links or maybe by a spam site with a good link profile and AI content. In the end, I just want everyone to start putting the emphasis on Backlinks like it used to be. #SEO #HCU

Google September "Helpful Content Update" Impact So Far?? I am seeing funny results even from a "user" point of view. #SEO

Are we talking about Big Parasite Domains here? ;) #SEO
