My prediction is that links becomes a more important part of the algo going forward. Based on that, yes, parasite is going to be even more rampant than it already is.
If you look at the most competitive niches, Forbes and similar sites are still ranking the best and it's not even close.
They tick all the boxes in terms of what Feb 23 Reviews update wants you to produce. Plus, they have massive authority. Plus, their authors are EEAT enough by themselves to...
What? This is only looking at "new" products being listed and isn't representative of what a search engine like Google sees from a large eCommerce brand at all.
To give you some context, on a brand with ~8,000 SKUs at least 50 pages would materially change every single day of the year, enough...
This is an old way of thinking, when Google had the resources to index a higher percentage of existing webpages.
Google might crawl Page A and think it's perfect, ranking it #1. Then, it crawls Page B which it thinks is complete shit, but good enough to be indexed. Importantly, the content on...
As far as I can tell, this gets set when a site is first crawled / added to GSC and there's no obvious way to change it. I'd guess it's related to how mobile friendly your site is. So if you're not 100% perfect, I'd be working on that.
You can see the desktop crawler in your server logs, it...
After spending a lot of time with Davinci-003 specifically, I'm at the point where I truly cannot tell the difference between content that I have it produce and human writers. ChatGPT is even less structured and so I'm sure it's possible to get it to be undetectable to the human-eye fairly...
Why would Google want to re-index you then?
In GSC, I'm guessing your set to desktop crawler rather than mobile? Desktop crawler is fucked right now and if you're set to desktop crawler, you've got an uphill climb.
This is either a sitewide technical SEO issue, or it's a content issue. There's...
Can you share an example of this, even via DM, that's not going to out your site. I wanna see a few examples of this because I've not noticed it anymore than it's ever been.
It's essentially dynamic featured snippets, which more detail because it consumes information across multiple sites.
If featured snippets took 5% of clicks away on 15% of SERPs (guessing in 2023), I'd lick my finger, put it in the wind, and say that this takes away about 10% of clicks from...
Nope. I'm tracking quite a large number of sites that are doing big numbers in ads / affiliate, and which I use as a gauge for when updates are happening. Nothing obvious on any of the 20 I just checked. Could be something very small / only starting to roll out. Will check the remaining few...
this was in the Bing UI for a little bit. This is how they are doing it. No link etc.
Seems to be removed already, was only live for a few hours. It's just straight ChatGPT but with a modifier to not reply if not confident
I'm pretty-pro AI but I think you're looking at this wrong. Asking Siri for the answer isn't super popular because it's a fucking goofy way to search, especially since most of us are not alone 100% of the time. The impact of this is going to be more similar to the impact of featured snippets in...
Why would you do this? Also, AI content even from OpenAI regularly has spelling mistakes, or just invents new words that don't exist. Content having typos is not proof that it's not AI, not even close. It's going to be a factor in any LLM that is trying to detect it, but it's not as simple as...
Yet another reason why just hiring a writer is not sufficient. Unless you're writing everything yourself or can somehow be incredibly confident that it's human written, you might as well just use the AI. I can guarantee that a huge % of hired writers are now just using AI, editing it and to hide...
The one right here: https://www.buildersociety.com/threads/whats-your-take-on-ai-generated-content.6484/page-4#post-72311
Should also note, you'd think the classifier would work better the more text you give it. But that actually doesn't appear to be the case. The more text you give it, the...
Use the DaVinci API. If you're trying to use AI content the only approach is 15 pages per hour at the absolute minimum.
I'm generally of the opinion that AI content is a big plus. But mainly because even human sites get wrecked by Google. So if your entire business model is just SEO which...
This is right. Knowing this, you can create a big database of your own. Go be your own quality rater for a few days and build a few thousand site database.
Then, you can track all the different obvious factors for those sites from the rater guidelines. When updates come around, you will be able...
I don't buy this as a solution for Google.
OpenAI get 3 factors; hard to detect signature, many signatures, good content. They get to pick 2.
Anything that is hard to detect and numerous will significantly alter the quality of the content, particularly when the API users are tweaking all the...
