The AEO debate

"Are backlinks dead in the AI Overviews era?"

Short answer: no - but the playbook changed. Tim's been quietly running tier 2 + tier 3 link layers built specifically to feed LLM citations since the May 2025 AI Overviews rollout. Here's what's actually working.

The thesis:

"AI Overviews still cite the pages with the strongest topical authority signals - and topical authority is still measured in part by relevant inbound links from niche-adjacent sites. Tier 2/3 layers aren't dead. They got more important, because LLMs are reading the tier 2 articles directly when deciding who to cite."
