This type of thinking is precisely why we can't have nice things. It's a terrible idea that only contributes to polluting the internet. It's nothing to be proud of but rather something to be ashamed of. I really hope Google removes all of his sites from the search.

@nixCraft It gets worse. On LinkedIn he posted a slideshow about it, and it ends with "Follow me for SEO and content tips!".

And then he gets comments like this:
"Wow, that's truly impressive! Your ability to strategically outsmart
your competitor and steal such a significant amount of SEO traffic is commendable. It takes a great deal of skill, knowledge, and perseverance to achieve such results."

What's wrong with people?

@toolsontech @excds @nixCraft exactly. That's not a comment written by a human.

@ianto_jones @toolsontech @excds @nixCraft I dunno, I've seen humans use sock puppets to praise themselves in similar terms before. You don't need AI to be tone-deaf and transparently insincere.

(But it helps!)

@ianto_jones @toolsontech @excds @nixCraft You could well be right, but I wouldn't bet on it - SEO sleazebags were writing that kind of bafflegab on LinkedIn years ago...
