Would you be open to put it to a test? Read/glance through this article: https://aimd.app/blog/2024-01-21-entity-seo-explained-boosting-your-search-rankings-through-entities https://aimd.app/blog/2024-01-21-entity-seo-explained-boosti... Was it written by human, AI, ... edited by human? What makes you sway one way or another?

I think the content is largely AI generated with some human editing. It starts off feeling pretty human but then descends into robotitude from my POV. It could be entirely AI generated in which case the injection of references is pretty impressive. The ending lets the whole thing down tho: "In summary, embracing both SEO and content optimization within the entity SEO framework is strategically beneficial. It equips marketers for the complex and evolving demands of digital marketing." That para slightly hurts my brain more the longer I look at it. A major "tell" for me is when you find language which would be "ok" in a student's essay response creeping into what are meant to be tutorials or explanations - where that kind of language really sticks out as being waffle / useless words.

  Thanks. Interesting. For what it is worth, it is entirely AI generated. I like that you've highlighted the summary as a weak point. It is what I am focusing at the moment.

It was written by someone who just can't seem to stop spamming HN with their MFHN content. Why don't you take a hint?

    It's a free platform to use and not a free platform to spam especially not if the only reason you posted this ask HN is to get people to go to your domain, that's simply ban evasion. It's a bit tiresome. Yes, I don't like what you are building, but I don't care, I do care about you polluting HN.

      HN posts have generated 0 paying clients for AIMD. If you think that I am spending my time posting on HN for the sole purpose of advertising AIMD, then you don't have a knack for advertising. HN is just not my target audience. Meanwhile, the comments have been a valuable source of feedback that highlighted several flaws in the product.

        Neither HN, nor Reddit (where it seems you have been banned for the same behavior) is in your pay, target audience or not doesn't matter.

        My indy journey has so far been met with mostly positive people, eager to help. Meanwhile, really starting to sound like you are on a personal vendetta. You do you.
        jacquesm 3y ago
        A personal vendetta? That's funny. No, it is much more general. HN is precious and fragile and moderator time is scarce so anybody that abuses the site is fair game for being talked to, to see if they realize that HN is a two way street and that just using the community for your own gain is a net negative for everybody else. Especially if you do so in a disproportionate manner because the way you go about using HN does not scale. Spam in general, spammers in particular and SEO types have ruined a large chunk of the net and its potential, weaponizing AI the way you intend to do (and morality be damned) may well ruin the remainder. So it isn't personal, but you are setting yourself up diametrically opposed to what I think is responsible use of this precious resource.

We're getting complaints from users about you promoting your site on HN too much. (Just to be clear, I'm talking about complaints coming from other users than ones who have been complaining in the threads, so it's a wider phenomenon.) After looking at what you've been posting, I think it's a fair complaint. You're on the wrong side of this guideline: "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You're welcome here as a user, but I need to ask you to pull back on promoting your site here. If you build up a track record of making interesting/unrelated contributions on other things—that is, if you use HN as intended for a while—then it will be ok to occasionally include in your own stuff as part of the mix. But it shouldn't be the majority of what you're doing here. I should add that the same goes for everybody here; it's nothing personal.
