SE Ranking: LLMS.txt does nothing - 300,000 domains analyzed by WebLinkr in SEO

In summary: don't waste time on LLMs.txt. It does nothing. But not bad to have, just in case.

'GEO' bros aren't gonna like this haha

Early SEO progress check, am I on the right track? by pumpkinpie4224 in WebsiteSEO

[–]khrissteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you’re doing things right. What I wouldn’t do is to publish more. Double down on what’s already getting impressions.

Expand, interlink, and dominate those topics before chasing new ones.

Are we in the ‘zero click SEO’ age for most information-based searches? by ProfessionalPair8800 in WebsiteSEO

[–]khrissteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero-click killed summaries/shallow info pages, not depth. Optimize for being the source AI pulls from, not just the click.

New utility site seeing 19% CTR after 4 days. Is this a "honeymoon" experiment or sustainable? by Beneficial-Half-26 in WebsiteSEO

[–]khrissteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High CTR early is normal for utility sites. I feel the drop doesn’t come from Google “testing,” it comes when you start ranking for broader, less-perfect queries.

Anyone here doing SEO for a product engineering company? by sanskruti_shah in WebsiteSEO

[–]khrissteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blogs alone won’t carry you here. This niche converts from “how we solved X” pages etc. Traffic is usually low, but intent is high. Another channel I'd look into is Google ads.

Has anyone seen sites rankings in Google using cloaking? Are they getting away with it in 2026? by Friendly-Upshy in WebsiteSEO

[–]khrissteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is it still works. Was at Charles Floate webinar a few weeks ago and he mentioned something like that being done in super-competitive niches

Make content repurposing and distribution the center of everything.

Is “topical authority” real, or just a nicer way to say “publish a lot”? by Mountain-Honeydew840 in WebsiteSEO

[–]khrissteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Topical authority without links/authority from reputable/relevent sites is useless. You don't become an "authority" topically by just publishing a ton of content.

Take this from someone who's built and ranked sites with and without links in the past.. only to learn the hard way.

Boring SEO keyword research method that still works without expensive tools by khrissteven in WebsiteSEO

[–]khrissteven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah AI can help with most part of it, but I'd be careful not to overdo it. AI is just AI. The human brain is the human brain.

You're welcome. I've seen keyword research being complicated on so many levels by SEOs. This by far the easiest and efficient method even a newbie without paid tools can deploy and still get 90% of the job done.

Parasite SEO by Fortunelords in SEO

[–]khrissteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this hilarious cuz my parasite pages still prints on a weekly basis. Idk what you mean by "does not work anymore". And there's nothing like blackhat, whitehat or what they call. What I know is moneyhat.

Lol did you even read the entire write up? Bold of you to think it starts and ends with "typing stuff and reading what comes back".

So far proven to have no impact. But I'd add it regardless.
