How My Life Got 100x Better When I Stopped Thinking About Google

tristor: This article was definitely written by ChatGPT. I think it's a story anyone who's ever shipped a website that they expected the public to make use of has experienced, but it's also light on the details of how they moved past Google organic search traffic.

puskavi: Mr. Rossmann had the same problem, and he had claude fix it and it supposedly worked.

kobelb: Please elaborate :)

Ifkaluva: Can probably just go to Claude and say “look my metrics fell off a cliff after Google’s update. What might the problem be?”

pop_calc: Pangram suggests the is fully AI generated

mounram: I had the same thought

hrimfaxi: > Not my skills. Not my ideas. Not the quality of my work. Google.> What you write. How you write it. What you build. What you don't build.> It's not a tool you use. It's a landlord you try to keep happy.

linkregister: I wonder which LLM model has the tic of saying individual words in their own sentence for emphasis.The outcome of this technique is the same as just bolding all the text.I understand why the author, an apparent native Dutch speaker, has an LLM write his prose.The actual content is information-lite; the author never explains anything beyond deciding to no longer consider google.com referrers when deriving success metrics. Maybe the author got more engagement through email? More business offers? It's left as a mystery to the reader.

CivBase: Here's his video on it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uKZ84zwJI0

kamma4434: The fact that it was written by ChatGpt does not mean that a human did not decide what to put in it. For non native speakers it’s a huge advantage.
