• • Pure article spinning and bulk forum profile links are pretty much dead now.
  • Shifted the entire focus toward topic clusters and quality outreach backlinks instead. What tactic are you looking to replace

Definitely. Creating too much informational content is no longer a good strategy, especially since AI has already caused a lot of informational content to lose rankings.

AI generated blogs definitely stopped. I did refine the strategy based on recent slop statisic. There are a few tweaks we make to humanize the content but even then I imagine google still has a good understanding of slop being generate. I actually ensure immediate search intent value on every article now, that seems to work. There are a few other tricks on effort we've implemented and are testing now. Overall AI gen blogs.

I wouldn't stress the exact keyword match strategy too much right now. In addition to producing valuable content, I would rather focus on search intent and competitor activity analysis. When one focuses on the reader instead of ranking, SEO appears to be working well.

with the expose of Ai tools there is no time wasting option in making seo content in all niches,there are options to write any target content with Ai tool and making of replica presentation videos to share along on page/channel for more traffic convert.

i stopped relying exact match keywords every heading and trying to cover every small variation.now i focus more on main search intent and build pages that answer the topic properly instead of stretching one idea across lots of thin pages.

Earlier I use to pay attention to keywords stuffing and manipulate content accordingly. But now I have realised nothing beats quality content that is written as per search intend of targeted audience.
