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.
