Are people actually not seeing SEO success anymore?

All I hear on forums and X is that SEO is dead, nobody is seeing any success at all and google sucks.

That’s not at all what I see on my end though? But all this fuss makes me paranoid to be quite honest.

What are your perspectives? And what type of sites are you working on?
 
Still a good source of traffic. It's not what it used to be. I sure miss the days Google's properties didn't take up half the page. Or when you could spam a bunch of shit links and rank easily. You definitely need to come correct with budget and have a good strategy.
 
Apparently, according to niche site bros and sissies, if sites are still successful they are worthless content mills that replaced their wonderful creations that they slaved over since Noah came down from the ark (or at least since they discovered KGR).

And you should all be buying their courses on newsletter creation, Facebook groups, Pinterest graphics, AI videos and /tries to stop giggling/ setting up SEO agencies rather than studying the non-UGC sites which are still ranking.

My mileage varies, but that's their loss.
 
I am not seeing SEO success anymore. Many of my competitors are not seeing SEO success anymore.

I don't think it's dead for everybody, but it certainly is dead for me.

If you run a content site that still gets a significant amount of traffic from Google, I think you're one of the lucky ones.

Maybe I'm just not smart enough to game the system anymore, but I did spend almost a full year trying after the HCU and only saw continued downtrends.
 
Were I to start from scratch, I would take a good hard look at the search engine rankings for my chosen niche queries. Look especially at pages 2 to 4 and for sites that might have been a project at one point but that have not been updated since 2020 or before. Don't just look at 'big swinging dick' search queries but at types of questions that are not uncommon in your niche.

Send out offers. Plenty of site owners are nervous, even if they are still making money.
 
so uh not to be contrarian but to be contrarian.

Brand new sites are ranking like bosses atm.....
Yall have a bad attitude. Buy fresh domain names and tweak your titling until it performs.
You don't even have to write content anymore. Just edit what the gpts spit out and pretend you don't have a room temperature iq when you're prompting it.
 
Just devote every day to testing on a diff domain you own

The sad thing about this post is most will read it and disregard it.

I haven't been this psyched on SEO in close to a decade.

Legit same, plus all the parasite stuff that’s now more possible than ever. I think AI legit fucked Google, they can’t rework their entire algorithm, but the current one heavily favors topical authority so… what can they do here really?
 
I'm not going to go right back into SEO because my brain resists it, but it is obvious that there will soon be an opening again for SEO because everyone else has given up.

I might make a play if I can get someone to do all the brunt work, but I'm still more excited for coding and micro-saas and using my SEO and shitposting skills to market it.
 
It was mass exodus after the last few updates so way I see it is less business for seo service providers (like myself) but more traffic for us still in the game.
 
A lot of people switched from optimizing for Google to optimizing for easier algos such as Amazon. You can see it on EmpireFlippers. SEO driven affiliate sites used to be plenty there. Now its mostly FBA.
 
So here's a landing page to suck on.
I think its' relevant in the being proactive department.
No I'm not being paid.

There's a value to the approach even if you don't like the implementation of the tool or the marketing style. If you take the time to make not garbage content. You can build out quite the brand tail just ranking research terms and making your username your website name. Link dropping is how you get your reach crimped so brand your domain smart.
