re: Google SEO is just getting stupid

My boy just sold his website for $2,250,000 in the education niche. Was making between $40,000 - $80,000 per month just from display ads.

Hot damn, that’s awesome. Any idea how long he had to work to get it to 40k/mo?

I'm not following how AI will impact SEO.. care to elaborate?

That’s the million dollar question.

1) there are thousands pumping out content via chatgpt & other ai writers on a mass scale then copy pasting straight to their sites without fact checking or editing. Easy rankings for now, won’t be once google rolls out an update to squash them.

2) Bard & Bing AI may begin taking up real estate above the fold on the search engines. People will use that to search, and push real sites down further. Google is also implementing zero click search results, meaning the answers are right on the front page of google without clicking into a website

the. Ai will just go to your site, rewrite the content and serve it up right on the front page of google with or without credit to you (for example).

Those 2 alone may soon create chaos from top to bottom. No one really knows what’s in store in the coming months.

AI is playing both sides of the fence. Most people are only focused on how easy and cool it is to input a prompt and have it kick out a cool inaccurate article.

Those same folks aren’t paying attention to the role AI is playing for search engines. Could be a gut punch from hell to those recklessly using AI to rank.

Get it while you can.

I think it took around 3 years to cross into six figures a year and then just kept going up from there.

The website was 10 years old.

I presume it's going to take intellectual property law 15 years to catch up, but there's a reason a lot of consultancies and places like Apple have banned it for business use. If I turned a proposal to a client, and they learned part of it was written by AI, I don't think they'd look kindly on that in the bid process.

While it's going to a pain in the arse to get disclosed by the AI vendors, how do you make DMCA or other takedown claims when you find something you wrote re-packaged, and you didn't submit it to ChatGPT for "use" in helping others be lazy? The recent USSC ruling on Andy Warhol's use of things line the famous Marilyn Monroe shot *not* being covered by Fair Use (7-2, it wasn't close), seems to completely shite on AI generated content that isn't pulled from sources that are under GPL or other open license.
