Does anyone else have more skepticism when tou see the obvious tell-tale signs of design patterns on an app or landing page?

I do, I instantly feel my time is wasted because it wasn't worth it for the publisher to bother with more then just minimum-viable AI design patterns.

@VeryWellVersed @cyberandy The slop is a flop.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@adrian_horning_ Damn. It was nice to politely and unobtrusively research subreddits this way.

Guess I need to use alternative methods and burn more server resources.

All they had to do is up the rate limits.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@TheCoolestCool Yup. https://t.co/SbHZvXyyer aims to combat sameness of these design patterns.

@ViperChill @JoyanneHawkins @ahrefs Can we report these? Maybe unleash Agent A on it?

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@YoungbloodJoe @timsoulo This.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@gaetano_nyc And it gets past about 95% of bot checks. 🤠

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@gaetano_nyc You know better than I do, but a 1yr warranty is standard. To make good on that I (of course) built a multi-stage tool to validate link presence, anchors, and semantics by link builder so I can audit link turnover/health. You get what you pay for (most of the time).

@bryanfcasey Probably an image or FAQ answer.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@gregisenberg It’s the same AI slop template. Like the same GitHub skill.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@johnandrews @SeoTudent Oh yeah, now there are 3x as many links and total chaos on the SERP since then.

I would be curious to know today’s CTR by position rates that aren’t just rehashing the old Backlinko article, but a net new analysis.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@johnandrews @SeoTudent You could take comps from GSC for organic clicks in top positions, then map against GKP. Then apply a conservative CTR scale for pos 1-10 to arrive at equivalent ad value.

I mean this is what Ahrefs is supposed to do, but by doing it this way I have more precision and accuracy.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@gaganghotra_ The messaging is so sterile and formulaic.
They chatgpt’d this didn’t they? 😢

Guess a CMS hitching its wagon on AEO as the silver bullet for clients was a bad bet.

For months, they publishing nothing but AEO guides & collabs with Ethan. And bam, it fizzled out.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@gaganghotra_ And it was abrupt. Heard that employees being locked out this morning without any notice. That’s cold.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@lilyraynyc Agreed. Play with fire, prepare to get burned.

Traffic obsession at all costs comes from a lack of discipline in understanding how traffic becomes a dollar.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@jeremyknauff Bro needs to bury the hatchet and move the fck on. His whining is hurting the project.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@gaganghotra_ And they are, by far, not the only ones afflicted here by these traffic/search visibility patterns.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@gaganghotra_ Probably wise for ClickUp to rethink their brand/marketing architecture and map out exactly what content (and formats) matters to those audiences and not go full bore into search-first. Rather, outcome/audience-first. Then rebuild.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@gaganghotra_ How about zoominfo company profiles? I know a few years ago they were surging.

Tons of copycats of website/scraped info cobbled together.

Did Semrush pull the plug on those domain name stats pages? Those were hot for a minute.

[Joe Manna 🌵 @JoeManna]

@timsoulo @ViperChill A better take is to show how those folks have increased results and accelerated TTL for campaigns with Agent A. Not how to eliminate roles in a cute way.

I foresee a CMO taking this literally and buying into the tool, not the strategy. 🤨
