Also Me:
π¨ The 6-Month SEO Update: We're debunking the BIGGEST myths in SEO right now (and yes, there's a MASSIVE drop in updates incoming π)
What we get into:
π§ "Just build a good brand and AI will find you" is NOT a strategy
π SEO vs GEO β why treating them as separate disciplines is a mistake
π Why "good content" alone usually isn't enough to rank
πΈ Overproducing content/landing pages = wasted time & money
π Using Microsoft Clarity to see what users ACTUALLY do on your pages
π« The truth about thin content, duplicate content & information gain
π€ Why surface-level EEAT advice (author bios, outbound links) misses the point
π΅οΈ What everyone gets WRONG about the Google API leak
π Why backlinks still matter in 2026 (and why you don't need them on every page)
π Buying more links won't help if you're losing/devaluing links elsewhere
ποΈ The first 30 days of SEO for a new SaaS site
πΊοΈ Why an HTML sitemap matters more than most people realize
β οΈ Why toxic backlink reports do more harm than good
π Expired domains: when they help, when they're a liability
πΈοΈ How PBNs & link farms have changed as Google's spam systems evolved
π» "Link echoes" β why rankings can survive after a backlink disappears
π Long-tail keywords still work (the "keywords don't matter" myth, debunked)
π€ Why LLMs repeat SEO myths because those myths rank on high-authority sites
π¦ Parasite SEO isn't the shortcut people think it is
π The decline of WPBeginner β what the traffic graph reveals

Most SEO advice skips the one thing that actually explains how Google works.
PageRank.
Not because it's complicated β because most people never took the time to understand it.
New video π
π Backlinks aren't a "hack" β they're the entire mathematical foundation of search
π Google doesn't "understand" your content the way you think it does
π Authority is built, not claimed
π§ Writing for users and writing for PageRank aren't opposites
15 minutes. No fluff.

I have covered before how if you drop in Google, you can drop in AI Search (including ChatGPT). Here is a site that got wiped out by Google and AIOs and AI Mode drop heavily. But as you can see, ChatGPT visibility drops heavily as well.
And note, Brand Radar updates prompts once per month so it's slower to see a drop with AI search platforms like ChatGPT than with AIOs or AI Mode since they update on a rolling basis. But below, you can see all three dropped heavily. So once again, drop in Google, and drop in AI Search (including ChatGPT).
@gaganghotra_@TrumpTruthOnX@AvidCommentator He keeps an eye on market and whenever it starts falling he says - war is ending and market jumps up, bro is pro level manipulatir
Real OG @DavidGQuaid, this is the difference Planck knowledge and Chauffeur knowledge or I guess fantasy land, I didnβt feel other guy has made any solid argument to prove his point. @edwardeachday keep up good work β€οΈ
Key takeaway - SEO subtracts from GEO = ZERO
πYou can now connect your Google Business Profile to Gemini and make a Business Notebook.
It has access to customer reviews, questions and also performance data. It can tell you trends, new market opportunities and you can ask Gemini to update your profile with new business hours, etc.

@DavidGQuaid Think of me like someone who have very little knowledge of that just know that it works and you need backlinks- nothing else. May be you can create a series as I have not seen anyone talking about it apart from Grumpy SEO guy
