Predictions
1️⃣ AI content becomes standard practice
2️⃣ Topical Authority becomes a requirement
3️⃣ Backlinks will be the deciding factor of who wins
4️⃣ Parasite SEO lives on
5️⃣ Google releases more specific algo updates
6️⃣ Goal prioritizes "goal completion"
Here’s my overall SEO gameplan going into 2024… 🧵
First up, Topical Authority. Writing one article (even if it's the best on the internet) won’t get you to

5️⃣ Publish 5+ articles per day
6️⃣ Profit!
Google declared war on content websites.
After the September Helpful Content update, it's crystal clear.
The fact that there’s so much absolute garbage ranking for affiliate terms (parasite SEO sites, reddit, etc), it's like Google is saying “we’re fine with the SERPs being
The viability of the content site model is currently in question. Is it impossible? HCU recoveries do seem impossible (so far). But it's also entirely possible that this was a one-time, manual forest fire, and that new sites will do absolutely fine. There’s just not enough
Google killed AI content. 💀
Nah. Not even close.
The website in my portfolio with the biggest gains in the March update was none other than my pure AI site.
The thing is: Google can’t detect AI.

As someone who is on both sides of the affiliate coin (a website builder and utilitarian of parasite SEO), I can say for sure that Google brought the parasite problem on themselves.
Building a website is better for multiple reasons. You own your website. You can flip it. And
Never choose a niche based on passion, interest, or gut instinct.
Always base it off NUMBERS.

Did chatGPT output just get more detectable? Or did the AI detection tools all just get better?
