Do not build an affiliate business that depends only on Google. Email, YouTube, Reddit-style discussions, social, and direct brand traffic matter more now. SEO can still be a big channel, but it should not be the only one holding up the business.

A lot of affiliate review sites seem to be losing traffic. Can affiliate SEO still work if the site has real testing and comparisons?
AI Summary
People discuss whether affiliate SEO can survive AI search, Google updates and declining traffic to generic product review pages.
Answers & Discussion
The money is still in decision-stage content, but trust is harder to earn. People want to know if you actually used the product or just copied specs. I think affiliate sites need community discussions, comparison tools, and stronger author credibility. Thin lists will keep getting squeezed.
Affiliate sites can still work, but generic 'best product' lists are in trouble. The sites that survive will show real testing, original photos, clear criteria, user comments, and honest drawbacks. If your article could be rewritten by AI without losing anything, it is not strong enough.
