Aydın Tiryaki and Gemini AI (2026)

We have reached the end of a long-standing habit in digital publishing. The minutes we used to spend focusing on that famous “Keywords” box after finishing an article and placing images are now behind us. We are experiencing the lightness of accepting that an era has closed and has been replaced by a much smarter system.

Why Are We Saying “Goodbye”?

This farewell is essentially a story of simplification. Here are the fundamental reasons why we are saying goodbye to the keyword box:

• Google’s Evolution: Years ago, Google stopped using “meta keywords” tags in a website’s code as a ranking factor. Now, the system focuses directly on the live text that the reader sees, rather than the hidden word lists in the background.
• The Shift from Statistics to Meaning: In the old system, the frequency of words was what mattered. However, today’s artificial intelligence models read text as a semantic whole, not just a collection of statistical data. When you explain a topic in depth, AI already understands it without the need for any manual tags.

Hello AI: The Rules of the New Era

Saying goodbye to keywords does not mean giving up on SEO (Search Engine Optimization: Technical and content-based enhancements performed to make websites easier to find on search engines and to rank them higher); it means shifting the focus to “semantic authority.” In this new era where artificial intelligence manages the text, here is what we need to pay attention to:

• The Power of Context: AI analyzes the relationships between concepts within the text. When you use words like “engineering,” “experience,” and “analysis” in the same paragraph, the system understands that you are providing an expert-level text.
• Naturalness and Flow: Choosing the right sentences for humans instead of keywords for robots is now the ultimate “key.” Artificial intelligence prioritizes a sincere and informative style far above forced keywords.
• User-Centric Headlines: Headlines and introductory paragraphs that clearly state what the article promises have become our new signposts in the digital world.

Conclusion: An Act of Liberation

During the recent updates on my website, I realized that those empty boxes were not a deficiency, but a space of digital freedom. In an age where artificial intelligence can analyze text down to the smallest detail, trying to line up keyword lists at the bottom of a page is like trying to add a manual keypad to a modern smartphone.

We no longer waste time with those boxes. Goodbye Keywords; you guided us for a while, but now you have left your place to a much more capable technology—to the power of true meaning.
