Debbie should have posted that when Gem posts sources she's been seeing mostly /r links
BTW, SEO is apparently been morphed to AEO
I'm really lost with respect to AEO, but it seems to me like brand will become more important.
So let's say...
Early SEO - get people to your store or affiliate link or ad-infested web page
Later SEO - try to do the above, but realize that bigger brands are eating the SERPS and branding matters so there are few quick plays.
AEO - spam the AI food chain hope to get some product/affiliate links in, but recognize that mostly that play is dead and just hope to get your name in front of people.
You can spam Reddit, but mostly you can't put a product page link in most subreddits, right? So you're stuck with branding and even your product/affiliate plays are probably going to require the person to go to search engine to find you.
Is that right or am I just totally missing what people are doing? It seems like that is largely the take of the article
>missing what people are doing? I
As much as I regularly pull articles or peruse /r subs, even I don't see spam often. But most of my interests aren't on money-making topics. Where I have seen a few are r/NorthCarolina & r/diabetes --and they're usually called out as spam before I happen by.
>called out
Given the holistic LLM indexing of a post and its surrounding related posts, I'm not sure if spamming reddit is going to work as expected.
