How AI Will Impact SEO

Introduction

The basis of Search Engine Optimization never changes. It works on algorithms. Google search engine also works based on algorithms, so depending on how the algorithms work for Indexing, Crawling and Ranking, there are two types of algorithms “Core Updates” and “Broad Core Update”.

Google tells you that if you follow all the basic SEO things, your website has a higher chance of ranking.

How AI will impact SEO

AI – Artificial Intelligence is man-made computer software, we can say that it is a program that communicates with humans. Changes have been brought into this software according to time.

But over time, people used it so much that it started affecting the human thinking ability and people also started misusing it.

The misuse of the method of ranking websites with the help of AI has increased so much that people have started getting wrong and misleading information.

Therefore, to prevent such websites from dominating and to stop those who do so, Google keeps updating its algorithms from time to time.

When observed, AI emerges as a technology streamlining tasks, enabling individuals to maximize their productivity during working hours. From an SEO standpoint, showcasing a website in search results authentically doesn’t necessarily require absolute AI dominance. While this concept may seem unconventional, let me illustrate with an example.

If you’re a civil engineer who has authored a blog on your website discussing research on a particular disease using AI, and your friend, a doctor, has also written a blog on the same topic incorporating his perspectives and adhering to SEO guidelines, it’s likely that your friend’s blog will take priority in search results. Even if your blogs are more informative, longer, and easier to read than your friend’s blog.

Google is such a famous company that people trust and ask their questions so it is the responsibility of Google to provide correct information to the people. So Google gives core updates, so let us know the major updates of Google.

1. Panda Update

What used to happen before 2011 was that we copied content from some other website and this is called low-quality Content, then Google started observing such things as Duplicate, Keyword Stuffing, Repetitive Keywords, Spammy, Spin Content, and so on.

TIP : To prevent this, We should not use duplicate content, we should get quality content, and writers should write new content.

2. Penguin Update

The Penguin Update was launched in 2012.

Since the Penguin update, Google has down-ranked websites that use Low-Quality Backlinks, Manipulated or Spammy Links, and Irrelevant, Over-Optimized Anchor Text.

This algorithm was introduced to prevent Keyword Stuffing and Improve Content Quality.
