But you like you stated in your ai post about seo has not changed try find when was the biggest update to it and get back to me. By the way I love the discussion
SEO started first and everything else was like having mods and add onto it to boost your SEO
The thing is, SEO has been around for 30–40 years now. The algorithms and systems are always changing and adapting.
The same tactics that worked 30 years ago don’t apply anymore, especially meta keywords. Long-tail keywords, short-tail keywords, semantic SEO, and optimizing for AI overviews are the future of SEO. Adapt your methods or get stuck in the past.
Meta descriptions and title tags still work, but meta keywords are useless, pointless, and completely irrelevant—which you’ve mentioned multiple times in other posts.
Also, “a pyramid of backlinks” = blackhat SEO, which again, doesn’t work.
That’s an outdated seo method and will lead to your site being totally deindexed. Good luck gaming the system. It may lead to good results in the beginning, but the downfall will come hard and fast once Google & the other search engines catch on.
Can someone help me to understand please? Is pyramid link building a to do practice for SEO? Does it work as per example below? Tier 3 pyramid building for SEO... Tier 3 site, links to Tier 2 sit...

Any type of Pyramid link building scheme is considered black hat and punishable by Google's Link Spam Updates AKA -
Google Penguin.
The idea of using a 2 and 3 tier system was that you could spam some low quality links to the tier 3 and then dribble it down to the 2nd and then to the main site (Money Site) and the money site would not be punished since they would only have a couple of incoming links with the weight of 10,000s and 100,000's being dripped from Tier 2 and 3 sites.
Google isn't stupid and is forever improving their engine to detect such schemes and the simple Pyramid T2 and T3 system has been detectable for some time. We now have people using 10 tiers upwards but this again leaves a footprint and Google has said this year we can
expect the biggest Penguin update which is going to shake the world and black hatters upside down.
Build great content
Rather than spending time on systems that are likely to get you punished at a later date as MILLIONS have already and its worth noting that less than 1% come back after being hit by penguin. You are better of creating good content and getting back links the natural way for a long term strat... Black hat today is now considered a Quick Win, then lose.
What are the top 10 black hat SEO techniques?
Let’s face it—ranking on Google isn’t easy. And while white hat SEO strategies take time, site owners sometimes get tempted by faster, riskier methods. However, those black hat SEO techniques are not worth the penalty!
If you’re doing any of the below (even unintentionally), it’s time to rethink your search engine optimization strategy:
- Keyword stuffing
- Cloaking
- Invisible text
- Doorway pages
- Paid links (without nofollow)
- Link farms and private blog networks (PBNs)
- Content scraping and duplicate content
- Clickbait or misleading titles
- Misuse of schema markup
- Automated content generation
