Google Says Ignore Spammy Links From AI-Generated Blogs
A site owner posted on Reddit his concerns after noticing “hundreds of thousands” of backlinks from “AI-generated blog posts” directed to his or her site. John Mueller from Google said those links can be ignored and the posts might not be AI-generated anyway, not that it matters.
The concerned site owner wrote:
Hi u/johnmu We have hundreds of thousands of backlinks from AI-generated blog posts hosted on different subdomains. These links point either to valid pages or non-existent 404 pages on our website. Should we disavow them?
If we disavow them, we will hit 100K domains limit of disavow file.
John Mueller replied:
They’re probably not even “AI”, just the usual junk that you can ignore.
Wow – that person has close to 100,000 URLs listed in their disavow file!
