/seo/ - SEO Techniques

AI is here to stay, but how does it change our approach?
I've been experimenting w/ ''SEMrush's Keyword Magic Tool for generating content ideas, which has drastically reduced my keyword research time. But the real game-changer was when I integrated a ChatGPT API into my workflow.
Previously, backlinks were all abt quantity and quality from established sites like 'NYTimes' or 'Harvard'. Now? It's more nuanced: niche-specific blogs with engaged communities can be just as powerful if they're relevant to our target audience.
>Google warns us not ''to manipulate links for rankings but AI tools make it too easy.
I'm conflicted, but I believe the key is transparency and authenticity in link building.
So here's my take:
- Invest heavily into creating valuable content that naturally attracts backlinks from relevant sources (both big & small).
>Just because you can automate doesn't mean you should.
Focus on user experience first - fast load times, mobile responsiveness - then worry about the keyword stuff.
Content is still king.
What's your take? Have AI tools changed how YOU approach SEO and backlinks?
