That is a joke. I know code, and I have copied plenty of text from ChatGPT. If there is a "watermark" then it's pretty easy to get rid of by simply pasting the text into Notepad before you copy it again to use elsewhere. Google has already stated how they treat AI content: Use ChatGPT as a tool...

Exactly. ChatGPT writes a lot like a high school kid writes a paper or an essay: A lot of fluff information, that means very little since there is no critical thought or insight around the information that is literally being parroted back at the user of ChatGPT. If OP thought he got knocked off...

Blogging has been dead for a decade. Not because of AI, but because people don't read blogs anymore. All these wannabe Nostradamuses running around with their clickbait "SEO is dead" and "blogging is dead" posts are so unbelievably nearsighted and lame. It was funny for the first month or two...

Yes. I have had a couple of clients over the last year that was burned by "SEOs" that built them crappy PBN niche edit links. From what I've seen Google ignores links that they know are bought and paid for en-masse until these links outweighs legitimate links. PBN links that get zero actual...

Like I mentioned before it's about crappy links vs. good links. By the sound of it OP had 20 bad links and zero good links. In those cases PBN-link are definitely not ignored and are 100% included as a ranking factor that will cause rankings to tank.

If he has more "bad" (PBN links are 99.999999% bad) links than he has "good" links pointing to his site, it is 100% the PBN links causing the drop.

You answered your own question right there. Honestly, that anyone who buys PBN links is still confused as to what causes a drop in rankings is beyond me.

This is not really a method as much as it is like putting your money on black or red and watching the roulette wheel spin.

Even if it's three minutes of work, it's three minutes wasted on something that will do your SEO no good.

These will waste your time. That is literally all that these links will do.

What's worse, pseudo gurus and marketers, or pseudo economists?

Where I will agree is that anyone that just copy-pastes AI content will fail, I don't agree that the tech is new. It's been in development for 4+ years. AI content is cheaper than having a human write content, but you still need to put in some work with AI content. There is editing required. AI...

Why hide the domain and the URL? What are you trying to hide? Excuse me for not trusting you pseudo link science here simply because you won't let me explore the data myself. From where I'm standing you are the exact type of "SEO" that Google is not concerned about in the least. Blogspot links...

I don't think the ranking position has anything to do with it. The algorithm and the patents used for it is in the public domain. Google will obviously be secretive about it, but you can go look at the formulas. I don't think ranking position of a page plays into how "powerful" the link is...

Google is not trying to stop links from being used on the internet. Jesus fucking Christ. They are saying that links as a ranking factor is losing value in their algorythm. God didn't create the internet. Links as a ranking factor means less to Google's algorithm today than it did 10 years ago...

Let me get this straight. You think you can sue Google for something they they explicitly say you should not do (buy links) in their webmaster guidelines, based on patents they have for their algorithm? Hahahahaha. Please let me know when you (or anyone else) sues them for this, as I would love...

No, actually meta keyword tags don't work do anything. There have been plenty of studies that prove this. I haven't used meta keyword tags in maybe 10 years, and I still have plenty of page 1 rankings.

Ok, and you would be wrong on both counts in that case. Thanks for clarifying.

This could not be further from the truth. In fact, there have been many studies that shows linking out to authorative sources might actually be a ranking factor. And if you can be logical about it, why wouldn't it be? A link to a valuable resource is good for the user experience and ultimately...

Based on what you advertise in your signature, your response to this is not surprising at all. In fact, I'm sure if you look at all the replies on this thread, you will notice that the majority of people claiming that Google is lying about devaluing links in their algo would be people that sell...
