Did AI Just Kill Affiliate Marketing? With Greg Elfrink [The Opportunity Ep.124]

Since the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT, AI has been the talk
of the town among affiliate marketers.


Some hail it as a hero that will usher in a new age of
efficiency and money-making opportunities. Others see AI as their
downfall and are ready to grab their torches and pitchforks to
defend their livelihood. 


So, is AI the beginning of the end for affiliate
marketing? 


That is the question that Greg seeks to answer in this
week's episode. Greg assesses the most common fears content site
owners have when it comes to AI. These fears include Google
punishing AI content, and AI-powered search killing organic
SEO.


Greg counters these arguments by breaking down the many
uses of AI in affiliate marketing and explains that Google can't
afford the financial costs of deploying AI-powered search or the
resulting loss of paid advertising revenue.
Even if AI were to reinvent SEO,
Greg doesn't believe it will happen any time soon. He
explains,


"SEO as we know it will
change… after a while. The overnight destruction
of content websites as we know it won't happen in the span of
weeks. At lightning speed, we might see a
significant shift in 2 years, more than likely
we're over 5 years away from a significant change."


Lastly, Greg takes a closer look at Bing's role in the AI
revolution and explains how Bing could use AI as a weapon against
their oldest foe
Google.So,
what do you think? Will AI be a bridge to greener pastures for
affiliate marketers, or is this the end of the line for
SEO?
