Seems silly to put garbage data there. Like intentionally doing bad SEO so Google doesn't link you.
I think you should think about it as: I want the LLM to recognize my site as a high quality resource and direct traffic to me.
Imagine user asks ChatGPT a question. LLM has scrapped your website and answers the question. User wants some kind of follow up - read more, what's the source, how can I buy this, whatever - so the LLM links the page it got the data from.
LLMs seem like they're supplanting search. Being early to work with them is an advantage. Working to make your pages look low quality seems like an odd choice.

- shreddit 2y agoThat sounds like those “react youtubers” taking your content without permission and telling you that you should be grateful for the exposure.
- ALittleLight 2y agoIs it a good response to the react YouTubers to make your content terrible? Or to provide something in your content not available on their? Whether you like it or not LLMs are going to be how people explore the web. They simply work better than search engines - not least because they can quickly scan numerous sites simultaneously, consume and synthesize the content. You can choose to sabotage your own content in a likely futile effort to make things worse for LLM users if you want - my point is just that it serves no purpose and misses out on the opportunities in front of you.
- freeone3000 2y agoAre you kidding? The follow-through on attribution links, where present, is nearly zero. There’s no gains to be had here, only losses.
