Blackhat SEO for AI?

[Carolus Rex]

Hey guys. All this talk about SEO being dead, blogging being dead etc. When search engines now implement AI search results, and people switching to AI chat bots and away from the traditional search, I guess there's a lot of blackhat SEO methods ready to be discovered for AI search and chatbots.

Does anyone know any blackhat SEO methods to "rank" in AI chatbots? Is there even anyone talking about this? It's a new era in IM and I'm sure you could find ways to abuse it, or am I crazy? For example OpenAI or perplexity, how do they decide which sources to pull content from? A while back when voice search was the new big fuzz, people found clever ways to rank it that was not exactly the same as traditional search SEO.

I'll take one example I noticed using Grok. I was building a new page for my website, gave it a paragraph that I wanted rewritten. It answered by pulling the exact placeholder paragraph I had on the actual page AND linked directly to the page that was published literally seconds prior. Not even Google had this page indexed, and as far as I know Grok didn't even know the website was mine, it also had no idea I had actually published a page under that url. Where did it get this info from? Kept asking and it just replied that it could not crawl the internet in real-time. I've never linked my url in Grok btw.

Stupid idea: Go on microjobs sites and pay people to search on ChatGPT about your product in hundreds of different ways.
Decent idea: Spam reddit, quora, linkedin and where AI crawlers live
High-end idea: Optimize your site for AI SEO or GEO or whatever people name it, build an brand and authority on the niche by being present everywhere and prove by backlinks, social media and topic clustering.

In short, do SEO;Have fun!

Good inputs. But is it really such a stupid idea? I mean, CTR manipulation still works for traditional SEO (this blackhat method is ancient and was never properly patched). Perhaps there is something to your idea of having micro workers ask about the brand?

Probably wouldn't suggest spamming Reddit or Quora just to get on the radar of AI, it could potentially hurt your Google rankings if not careful But otherwise I agree with you.

OpenAI or X AI developers for instance maybe aren't stupid, but I dont think they have covered all the potential abuses when it comes to indexing and serving websites to their users.

Ý tưởng ngu ngốc: Truy cập các trang web microjobs và trả tiền cho mọi người để tìm kiếm trên ChatGPT về sản phẩm của bạn theo hàng trăm cách khác nhau.
Ý tưởng đàng hoàng: Spam reddit, quora, linkedin và nơi các trình thu thập thông tin AI sống
Ý tưởng cao cấp: Tối ưu hóa trang web của bạn cho AI SEO hoặc GEO hoặc bất cứ điều gì mọi người đặt tên cho nó, xây dựng một thương hiệu và thẩm quyền trên niche bằng cách có mặt ở khắp mọi nơi và chứng minh bằng backlinks, phương tiện truyền thông xã hội và phân cụm chủ đ.

Tóm lài là làm SEO;Have fun!

That makes sense, thanks for the share, bro

It half stupid because all micro job website let a clear footprint, and I was joking a bit also.

My 2 cents, on a serious note: Of course blogging it's dead, but also web directories from 2010 and other 100 things that used to work 10 years ago, the world evolved, so does SEO. Do not overthink, just adapt and move forward.

Tip: Parasite SEO works better then ever.

AI is making blackhat SEO both easier and riskier. Easier because content generation is faster, riskier because Google’s algorithms are also using AI to detect patterns. Curious if anyone here has tested AI-generated spam link networks in 2025?

You’re not crazy at all, mate. What you saw with Grok is a big hint , these LLMs are pulling fresh data from somewhere, even before Google indexes it. Could be direct crawling pipelines or 3rd-party data providers feeding them. That means there’s definitely room for AI SEO.

AI chatbots don’t really have “blackhat SEO” yet. They pull from licensed data + live web sources, which explains why your page showed up so fast. Best bet right now is still solid, fresh, relevant content — it’s early days, so methods will evolve.
