#webmarketing — Public Fediverse posts

The Web marketing community never learns from its mistakes. I'm beginning see huge numbers of obviously spammy YouTube videos crowd into certain types of queries on Google. This garbage content is obviously there only to influence the AI Overviews. Every time y'all come up with one of these genius ideas and you flood the Web with low-quality garbage, you end up crying and moaning that Google Done You Wrong when they finally crack down on it. You should really learn how to create real value. You won't have to flood the Web with garbage.

HEY! SEO COPYWRITERS. Yes, YOU PEOPLE WHO "do this for a living"...

If I land on a page about Turkey and I searched with a question about Turkey, I DO NOT NEED TO SEE "What is a turkey" first thing on a page.

Do you realize how STUPID you look when you write this crap??? NO, IT DOES NOT HELP WITH SEO. NEVER HAS. You just flooded the Web with so much garbage that the search engines had no choice but to include this kind of content in their results.

"Search With Stateful Chat" patent (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240289407A1/en ) - appears to describe the Gemini app for smartphones.

"Method for Text Ranking with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20250124067A1/en ) - documents an experimental process described in this research paper titled "Large Language Models are Effective Text Rankers with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.17563 ). There is no indication this was introduced into a live agentic system like Gemini.

"User Embedding Models for Personalization of Sequence Processing Models" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2025102041A1/en ) - documents an experimental process for improving recommender (sub-)systems (like movie searches) that incorporate large language models. The process is described in this research paper titled "User Embedding Model for Personalized Language Prompting" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.04858 ).

"Systems and methods for prompt-based query generation for diverse retrieval" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2024064249A1/en ) - updates a 2022 patent for a process named PROMPTAGATOR that generates queries more efficiently based on a small number of examples, as described in this research paper titled "Promptagator - Few-shot Dense Retrieval from 8 Examples" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.11755 ). This could be used to generate query fan-outs (but query fan-out has been used in multiple systems at least since the 1990s, so there are many implementations).

"Instruction Fine-Tuning Machine-Learned Models Using Intermediate Reasoning Steps" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240256965A1/en ) - documents an older method for fine-tuning instructions submitted to LLMs, as described in this 2022 research paper titled "Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models" (Cf. https://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume25/23-0870/23-0870.pdf ). The work has been superseded by this paper titled "Mixture-of-Experts Meets Instruction Tuning: A Winning Combination for Large Language Models" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.14705 ).

This is the AI Overviews patent, titled "Generative summaries for search results" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US11769017B1/en )

Google didn't force Websites to load their pages with SEO bullshit.

The SEO community did that to the Web.

Yes, Google ranked the SEO bullshit, but it was always a choice in the first place on the part of Website publishers to accept that bullshit.

For all its faults, Wikipedia continues to outrank many of these sites without all the SEO fakery and flim-flammery.

So when I see people ranting about how Google "forced" all the crap onto the Web I just want to gag.

Google just took whatever you fools gave it and ranked it for you because if all you create is crap then all the search engine can do is index and rank the crap.

Don't blame Google for what YOU chose to do with your Web copy.

Keep in mind that as more people in the SEO and Web marketing communities turn their thinking over to agents and generative AI, they will make more mistakes and create more opportunities for the supposed "backwards" people to exploit. Most people realize that AI cannot replace a human being.

That realization isn't holding people back from automating work processes that require thoughtfulness and consideration, which benefit from deep experience that teaches us to recognize and deal with anomalies, and which sometimes entail taking chances and breaking outside of intellectual comfort zones and habits.

It's not AI that's the problem. It's YOU, humans.
