AI Generated Content Harm SEO?

[mystique_blue]

Just wondering if AI generated content harm my website?

I personally edit it a bit before posting and so far I haven't had any problems.

 

[TechEinstien]

You can edit them manually. Check it on couple of AI detection tools to be sure. Still, there is no guarantee.

you probably won't rank, but it won't "hurt" the site per se...

But yeah, I agree with the other 2 posters before me, you do need to edit the content a little bit (at least fact-check it if nothing else)

Ranking would be an issue. And returning visitors will be less.

Both are completely wrong. I have a 100% AI content-generated website with close to 6k keywords ranking.

It hurts your SEO 100%.

Because it's duplicated content. If it's not at the moment it will become soon.

Ask ChatGPT to write something about any evergreen niche and put the text in a plagiarism detector and see what comes up.

Search engines can catch up later too. Duplicate content websites also do well. However, they fare as good as high-quality content websites. And the success is usually short-lived.

I meant 'don't fare as good'

Do you have any research into this, or are you just pulling this out of a hat? Once again, of the 9 websites I run that are fully AI, they have been running for 3-4 months without any issues. My newest one is an 18-year-old domain and has over 6k keywords ranking.

 

[Titans]

Yes, it will. If it is a long term project, I don't recommed to use the AI generated articles.

For seo if you mean tier 1,2,3 backlink conent then ai content is great. Previously most seo use spun content or pay to write the content now you can generate unlimited quality ai content for tier 1,2,3 links.

For money site if you know whatcha doing then I don't see any issue there too.

I'm OK with it (nobody is right all the time...)

But if only a small fraction of sites get away with it that's the exception to the rule, not the norm. So, you're one of the lucky few that made it work, I'm pretty sure for everyone else it won't work

Hey @tazarbm Have you tried making a website with AI content that failed?

 

[Pixelator]

Running 10+ blogs, fully AI content, good ranking.
So as always, it depends on the content quality.
A quick chatgpt article wont rank most likely.
A proper seo optimized hq article will.

We talk about this every week in AI forum. I think the general consensus is it doesn't necessarily hurt but it also can, and quality is central.

There are a couple threads discussing large drops in traffic and page de-indexing after several months of success. But I don't think there is real consensus on the cause (Quality? Number of posts? Speed of posting?) ... And some reports of those sites gradually gaining back traffic and indexed pages after the dropoff.

My personal take is AI is fine if you are careful about quality, but I don't have the experience of some of these guys running sites with thousands of AI articles. (As we can see from a couple posters in here).

nope!

I've never been a big SEO guy, I only created sites in niches that I found interesting / weird and more for the fun of it than to make money. It's true that I'm also a failure when it comes to SEO, I've never seen the big figures (the most I've earned with SEO was $200-300 a month in Adsense revenue when Adsense + niche sites were Heaven around 2011-2012), but other than this I've never had much success with SEO... well, I never tried hard to begin with, I don't like hard work, never did, never will and I think that all humans MUST be free, happy, healthy, and wealthy unconditionally and for eternity with one condition: their state of wealth and well-being should NEVER affect the state of wealth and well-being of other people.... I'm an ideologist that is, and ideologists and materialism rarely go hand in hand

Anyway, I've kept a few non-profitable sites over the last few years, of nostalgia more than anything, and last year I've sold the last 3 sites I've had so I can shift my focus from SEO to something that's more dear to me (something that I've been wanting to do since around 2016, but which I've never had time - because of google mostly, who have kept me slaving my life away for them - or resources for)... But now, after selling the sites and after getting the (inner) confirmation that SEO is dead (or will be dead very soon anyway), I've finally sold the sites so I can focus on my little offline hobby, and at the same time I'm spending the rest of my time here on the forum so I can witness the aftermath of google getting the hell out of our lives, and - whenever possible - to guide people to making a one last hoorah! with SEO before it's gone. But, on a personal level, I've stopped caring about SEO, mentally, physically and financially....

I did try to get into this AI abomination that's plaguing our lives but - being the idealist and moral guy that I (still) am - I just couldn't. Life should be ABOUT PEOPLE, FOR PEOPLE, and BY PEOPLE, not by stupid, soulless, idiot machines, as empty and cold as the "people" that have created them. And this comes from someone that's not even social, but even I have had it with this shit.

The last time I tried making an AI site (manually - if that makes any sense - since I suck at technology, I don't understand it fully and I can't keep up with it, therefore I don't like it) was about 2 months ago, and after writing an article (and of course that I couldn't fully use the AI for this, so I have ended up writing it manually LOL) that has ended up being 1400 words long and which had taken me about 7-8 hours, I just realized that I've (mentally) zoned out of this business for good, so I can't do it anymore. And besides, I couldn't keep up with the rich SEOs anyway, who have entire armies of VAs working for them, so I'd rather focus on what I'm good at and have interest in than focusing on SEO

Anyway (and with this I will finish my point), to answer your question: no, I never tried making a website with AI, it's just not my cup of tea. I don't like AI and I don't understand it, therefore I won't waste my time with it. This being said, just because I don't know / understand code and programming it doesn't mean that I am a born idiot or that I can't give proper SEO advice like some people have been trying to wrongly expose me for. I did do SEO for 16 years, so I know a few things, I'm just not an expert, but idiot I am not (in case you were itching to call me one )

So yeah... that's my rant on AI and the world we (still) live in... I hope that I did answer your question, if not, let me know and I'll answer it better

Woah! I had to put my glasses on.

So many things in your article to which I soulfully concur and so many things to contradict. But let's keep that discussion for some other time.

My point, isn't it too harsh to say that AI websites won't rank when you don't have a first hand experience? I'm saying this because I also had the same ASSUMPTION an year ago. But then I said to myself, "hell, no harm in trying" and everything changed.

Do you wanna give it a shot? I'd offer you my keyword research and AI content service for free. Any quantity you like. Look, I don't care what you or I think and it won't help me in any way if you change your stand on AI content or not but I don't know I felt like giving a helping hand. Cheers!

50-50... There are both AI sites that rank, and sites that don't. I just said what I believe, and you said what you believe. Which one of us is right?

I'm saying this because I also had the same ASSUMPTION an year ago. But then I said to myself, "hell, no harm in trying" and everything changed.

so that's your personal experience then. How is personal experience better than facts (and facts - in this particular case - should take ALL of the AI sites in existence, into account, right?) Do all of the AI sites (that have 100% AI content) on Earth rank?

Do you wanna give it a shot? I'd offer you my keyword research and AI content service for free.

I wish I was still interested in SEO because a lot of opportunities have come my way lately. But... it is what it is, any my focus is somewhere else now... I do appreciate your consideration all the same, thank you!

Look, I don't care what you or I think and it won't help me in any way if you change your stand on AI content or not but I don't know I felt like giving a helping hand. Cheers!

Until late 2021 I would have taken you up on your offer in a heartbeat, but now it's pointless (for me, I mean). As for you, you'll find plenty of volunteers on the forum, which are less moody than me, you can try offering a free review copy to them, but do it by abiding the forum's rules so you can avoid problems...

And cheers to you, too! You do sound like a good person, I hope things will work out even better for you

 

[DeiFic xD]

Which one of us is right?

Both and none.

Do all of the AI sites (that have 100% AI content) on Earth rank?

Nope. There are n number of factors that decide website rankings but AI content ain't one.

I do appreciate your consideration all the same, thank you!

No worries

you can try offering a free review copy to them

I did, at the launch, and they all gave positive reviews.

I hope things will work out for you

For you too, bud.

To end it on a funny note:
