- bhartzer 3y agoGoogle actually shut that down pretty quick. That 'loophole' doesn't exist anymore. Pro Tip: if you're going to boast on how you're spamming Google, then expect it to be shut down, especially if it's a hole in their algorithm.
- kredd 3y agoI’m actually curious, how did Google do that? The guy who did it did it in a very obvious way, but I’m assuming you can just schedule a lot of posts that would drop once a day, make the AI to use different language structures and change the underlying AI model in general (e.g. switch between OpenAI, Mistral and whatever) and slow drip submit the posts. How would Google know they’re “mass generated”?
- mrwiseowl 3y agoThe original poster of that Tweet (Jake) admitted they got a manual penalty. Also, clearly Google didn't fix it because if not Google wouldn't be 'overwhelmed' with this current spam attack going on. If you look into the attack it's mass generated absolute spam garbage pages on hundreds if not thousands of separate domains. So it is definitely not fixed.
- mrwiseowl 3y agoDid they really close the 'loophole' though? Jake said on Twitter they were actually hit with a manual penalty. So doesn't seem like it's patched. Seems like if he didn't boast about it they'd still be doing well.
