LLM Rankings: The New Battleground

Once upon a time, backlinks ruled the kingdom. An army of SEO agencies was busy buying, swapping, and manufacturing links (they still are). Google rewarded them handsomely. Then came Large Language Models (LLMs). And here’s the shocker: LLMs don’t use links. They use mentions. That opened a can of worms. Suddenly, platforms like Reddit, Quora, and specialist communities, the ones that never accepted spammy backlinks, became goldmines. But not for the reasons you think. Not for links, but for names. Here’s the catch: the real mention comes only if humans cooperate. Not dummy blogs.
