@glenngabe Ahh, like when you visit Reddit from Google, press the back-button, and instead of being taken back to the SERP you get sent to a Reddit-feed?
@lilyraynyc Dear Lily. I know i passed the free HCU help window by 2 years, when you helped HCU hit sites. Is there a slight chance you'll spend 5 minutes on mine? Maybe you see something obvious, I don't. Have worked full time since Sept. 23 with no luck. Would love some advice from a pro.
@lilyraynyc Dear Lily. I lost everything in Sept. '23 and have worked nonstop since then to climb back, but no luck. I can't afford experts such as you. Would you mind taking a look at my site? Maybe something is staring you in the face, I don't see. Don't know if I'm on the right track. π
@ndyjsimpson@BBC@lilyraynyc All I hear from Google is how great AIO is and they send a lot of traffic to the web. But they won't release any data backing this. All independent data/studies available points to less clicks to the sites they get the info from. Can you back up your claims, @Google?
@randfish We are so many publishers and bloggers who live from traffic and the ad revenue it gives us. Not everyone has a product to sell, and landing pages for lead conversions, but we share deep knowledge on a topic. Any suggestions for us?
@lilyraynyc Impressions doesn't pay the bills. It's like telling a musician to play for free "for exposure". Try telling your plumber to fix your sink "for exposure". Websites need traffic for sales, ads or affiliate income or whatever pay the bills. Creating good content isn't free
@MaxenceCornet@rustybrick More impressions due to AIO, but no clicks the links in AIO 'cause Google scrapes the content and serve an answer for you in the serp. It's like telling a musician to play for free "for exposure". Try telling your plumber to fix your sink "for exposure". Doesn't pay the bills.
@FeryKaszoni Google killed listicle affiliate sites because they wanted to be an AI affiliate listicle site themselves. Google HQ are enjoying all that sweet Amazon associates dough as we speak π
@lilyraynyc What's your take on this @lilyraynyc? Creating comprehensive clusters and becoming an authority is not only a necessity for informational sites but also for organic seo for companies. Will all organic seo die so its only pay to play for SaaS et al.? No one clicks links in aio.
@lilyraynyc I hope there's still room for informational websites that covers a topic thoroughly. Hopefully not all are satisfied with the (hallucination) answers given by AIO et al.
@glenngabe How are those HCU sites you're checking doing? It's beginning to look to me and many others that there is a sitewide classifier in place still (maybe on a domain level?) since no amount of hard work moves the needle. Have you seen anything to the contrary?
