Site completely tanked - Would anyone take a look why?

I love how people talk about AI is taking over...an algorithm is AI.

I think it is a safe assumption that Big G has been using different elements of AI for years in their search......Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning etc

What I mean is Google is relying less and less on human quality raters and leaning more and more on rankbrain

I literally see pure affiliates ranking with no informational articles at all - while I am staying on the second page or the bottom of page one - I can assume it's more about authority than anything...

Yeah, some like the wirecutter have an overwhelming amount of authority. Some are on the first page for low competition keywords, and some won't stay on the first page at all. As a whole, however, pure affiliate sites have a much harder time ranking that sites that try to offer value to searchers.

my pal, the affiliate products sites, if done properly - can review so many items and come up with 3k+ words every article listing the parameters and unique features of each product - wouldn't this be helpful to readers as well? Just curious on what you think.

I love how people who failed to rank their projects just say that SEO is dead and say google is implying AI.

Just don't make an AI comment if you have not even studied a basic course about AI.

AI is still a very new concept and to achieve that NLP mastery is needed first and guess what NLP is also in its budding state.

The most extreme step you might see is that SERP shown with datamining implimentation(Since they are already using that with Adsense).

It will still take some time to impliment so called AI and might not be implemented in our lifetime.

seo will always live , if you beat all comp info your always win .

google will eventually catch onto ai websites and just remove threm as spam as time go on.

also ai need to use very expensive backlinks for every project , your need to be a verry rich idiot wasting cash on a lot of ai websites in each nich will cost a fortune.

imagine there around 15k keywords to each niche approx , imagine the cost to target every kw with ai would be in it 100k+ marks in link money...

ai will not destroy seo just give Google a good run for it buck to chase such websites to ban them.

because ai is self-learning of course Google will notice winning ai websites and just ban them simple.

of course we will all see ai websites succeed at first but there soon get nuked as they succeed

google wants to use ai for it internal workings, of course you always get a programmer or team abuse such programming and Google will be there to defend such going on no matter how good there ai programming is.

Right, but

1. Most affiliate sites don't do that.
2. Google still doesn't like affiliate links being on every page
3. Not every search term lends itself to 3000 articles. I've seen plenty on instances where 1500 word articles were ranked 1-5 and 3000 word articles were ranked 6-10

so many negative reports about google rankings so far. probably deep learning is taking over/replacing google's search algorithm. SEO is now completely dead. AI is here.

AI is just another computer algorithm just like google is today. No difference.

I don't know about your niches guys, but in my niche the algorithm is totally fucked up since January. There are constant changes in the serps. I could refresh my keywords now and would get 50 alerts for 200 tracked keywords. 10 Minutes later I could refresh again and would get 30 alerts for the same and some other keywords.

Google has been very reliable, but it changed completely. Before I could rank a website and stay in the Top 3 by providing better content and build better links than my competition. Now everything seems so fucking random. Its like Google is playing "scrabble" all the time and it shakes the serps without any reason.
