Had a weird thought - if Google likes UGC sites, then why not just create a website styled in that format?

You could either have it like a forum, and then just break up your content in to different posts, or you could just post a question, and use AI to generate a bunch of different answers/opinions to the questions, and post them as different users.

If people wanted to come by and leave comments/posts, they could, but most of the 'posts' you would be generating all the content.

@partha , how viable do you see this as working? I'm not saying it's exactly ethical or great for user experience (if you break a blog post into multiple posts), but at this point, well... 🤣 🤣

I'm sure @partha will respond but I'm pretty sure he mentioned something similar on a WA post a while back. Just use AI to create fake threads and hopefully gain enough traction to start attracting real humans.

I still think you'd need a decent DA to show up on Google though ... unless it's really niche.

I'm NOT answering this question today... hahahahahahaha!!

Plus, this is also why I haven't responded to the thread about Google changing their sponsored ads to look like organic search results.

I will now not want to say anything about Google until tomorrow (and the aftermath of tomorrow) is OVER.

So many people online are making predictions, but these are mainly those who have courses and programs to sell, or they need to get more clickbait content out for their subscribers.

Me, I'm gonna sit back and watch for a few days before drawing any conclusions.

Of course, everyone on this forum will be the FIRST to know what I think.

For now, we wait...

Ha ha ... fair enough 🙂

The SEO community seems to be in free-fall meltdown atm. I don't know what you think of SE Roundtable but the comments over there on Google update threads are something to behold!

Some properly distressed webmasters who've built their entire business around Google organic, coming to the ugly conclusion that it's all gone. Many are applying for 9-5 jobs now.

... and so the cycle begins again. It's the same every time Google makes a big, sweeping update. There's always a new generation of wannabe SEOs coming up. But this time we have AI to contend with.

Looking forward to your musings when you're ready @partha. I'm really enjoying this forum already 😎
