Back in 2006 I started my blog on another platform it was entitled, Studies And Observations, basically it was started for me not thinking about others being interested in what I had to say about international stuff.

In all that time I have not worried about my ranking on Google or any other format…..it just was not that important for it would change nothing in the way my blog is written.

I will finally get to the point in my round-about way……

Many bloggers spend lots of time trying to find that perfect formula that will help them and their search for the perfect SEO.

SEO?

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a fundamental aspect of online success. Why? Because it drives organic traffic and enhances online visibility. In today’s digital landscape, competition is fierce. That’s why having a strong SEO strategy is crucial for small business owners, eCommerce store owners, website owners, bloggers, and webmasters alike.

Well all the hard worker those interested in improving their SEO may be a fart in the wind.

Google Search has been caught up in a massive tidal wave of generative AI garbage.

It’s starting to look like an unrecognizable heap of spam, meaningless search engine optimization (SEO) filler, and dubiously sourced news.

“It’s the worst quality results on Google I’ve seen in my 14-year career,” eminent SEO expert Lily Ray told Fortune.

Instead of filtering out scams, Google is seemingly bowing to the pressure and is instead promoting them.

“Right now, it feels like the scammers are winning,” Ray added.

Researchers recently confirmed these suspicions, finding that Google is consistently ranking ad-filled spam. In a year-long study, first reported on by 404 Media, a team of German researchers studied search results for thousands of product-review terms and found some shocking results.

The team found an “inverse relationship between affiliate marketing use and content complexity, and that all search engines fall victim to large-scale affiliate link spam campaigns.”

In other words, the “search engines seem to lose the cat-and-mouse game that is SEO spam,” the team concluded in their paper.

And, as you might expect at this point, generative AI is likely playing a central role in the dissemination of this low-quality content.
