Episode Details

E793: Max Roslyakov's single press release managed to push down negative content on Google and even influenced how AI tools reported information.

I walk through the full story of how one inexpensive press release changed search rankings and shaped AI-generated answers. What started as an attempt to bury a negative comparison post ended up exposing how both Google and AI systems treat press releases as trusted sources.

We'll cover:
- How press releases can be used to manipulate search results
- Why AI tools often repeat content from press releases without checking accuracy
- The explosive rise of AI-generated sites like AInvest and their massive traffic growth
- The broader implications for SEO, search visibility, and the reliability of AI answers

Whether you're new to SEO or already experienced, this episode offers insight into how search and AI are being manipulated today.
