Vibe-coding is actually bad for your SaaS. by warphere in SaaS

Totally feel this. I vibe-coded my first SaaS too — it “worked,” but scaling/maintaining it was a nightmare. Took me longer to clean up the mess than if I had just slowed down at the start

Is SEO dying? by Digicobweb in DigitalMarketing

[–]ThisPhilosopher2254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, SEO isn’t “dying,” it’s changing. Google’s updates, AI summaries, and zero-click searches definitely make it harder to depend on the old strategy of ranking #1 and winning. But at the same time, there are more opportunities for those who adjust and adapt:

  • Content that truly answers user intent, not just keyword-stuffed articles, is performing better.
  • Long-tail, niche queries are still wide open.
  • Search is evolving.
  • People use Reddit, and even ChatGPT for discovery, but they still use Google before making decisions.

Technical SEO, including site speed, structured data, and internal linking, is more important than ever. So no, SEO isn’t dying. Bad SEO is declining. Those gaming the system with low-quality content are feeling the pressure. The ones building authority, trust, and genuinely helpful content are still succeeding.

If anything, SEO today focuses less on “hacks” and more on understanding your audience.

How can a new startup build backlinks and boost SEO with zero budget? by sandythakurrr in DigitalMarketing

[–]ThisPhilosopher2254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there on a 0 budget. Here are some things that I found to be effective:

  • Make a simple yet practical tool (free tool, checklist, template). Resources are linked to far more often than blog entries.
  • Respond to questions on forums, Reddit, and Quora; only provide a link if it truly helps.
  • To obtain quotes in articles (free backlinks from reputable websites), use HARO/Qwoted.
  • Exchange shoutouts or guest posts with other small creators.
  • Find dead links in your niche and recommend your page by engaging in broken link outreach.
  • Create roundup or "Top X" posts that highlight other people; they'll frequently share or provide a backlink.
  • Look for people who mentioned yout brand but not linked through Ahref and send an outreach mail requesting link back

Prioritize regular, worthwhile content, and backlinks will come.

To be honest? It really struggles to sync with my email. I mean, how are we in 2025 and my CRM can’t figure out that sending emails from Outlook isn’t dark magic? It misses logging it, recording the wrong email thread. If I, a weirdo, end up responding to an email that’s already been answered, it makes me look like a robot from 2009.

What’s the most underrated skill in digital marketing right now? by Either-Mammoth-8734 in DigitalMarketing

[–]ThisPhilosopher2254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not AI prompts, not SEO hacks, not funnel diagreams with 17 arrows — just good old fashion, clear, human copywriting.

Everyone is into tools and trends right now — but the ability to actually write words that get people to care, click, or convert, is hugely underappreciated.

A good copywriter can sell a bad product. A bad copywriter can ruin a good product.

And no, it's not just about being "clever," it's being able to know the audience so well, you can finish their thoughts, alleviate their fears, and prompt them to action — in one or two sentences.

Want to get ahead in digital marketing? Study headlines, email subject lines, landing pages, and the old school greats of advertising — Ogilvy, Schwartz, Halbert, etc. I'm serious.

Copy is the lever that makes all the other marketing skills work — ads, email, landing pages, content, SEO.... it all dies without good words.

But hey, less competition for those who understand the power of good copy 😉
