Hi,

I have some affiliate stores (product feed based), so basically 100% dupe content and images.

edit: images are self hosted (resized and optimised for speed), no links to network, js/php based redirect that I know google has not detected

What can I do to improve visibility and indexing?

Google has visited at least 50% of the product pages but is only showing ~1k via site:

Traffic is non-existent, maybe 10 uniques a day if lucky on a store with ~20k products.

Not expecting much, but I did this 3-5 years ago and got ~100 uniques a day with no effort :(

The stores are now 3-5 months old now (they are not the same domains I used years ago)

What can I do to increase visibility for these sites just enough to get me >50 organic visits a day on a domain with >20k products and dupe content?

I was considering throwing some of the market place links at each one and seeing which worked, and probably still will, but perhaps im missing a vital element.

note: I am not connecting these sites with a google account. To get them indexed i used the google mobile page tester.

You mentioned the problem in your post - duplicate content. Don't expect to rank these days with duplicate content. It doesn't work anymore. Rewrite or spin the product descriptions on all 20,000 product pages and watch your traffic skyrocket.

Hi, I wasnt ranking before, well, maybe page 2/3/4 for some long tail stuff, which is all I actually want. maybe that is too much to expect now? I wasnt ranking for any keywords worth mentioning at all, just dancing around for some products and catching a little organic traffic.

If I google some random products, there will be some similar sites to mine with just dupe content, I want to get amongst them :)

@SoccerLover - I dont want to whitehat, I want to black hat, I dont care if these sites die after a short run and happy to buy links etc to get a few months of organic traffic as a result

I still recommend you make your content unique. Nevertheless, if you intend to keep using dupe content, then buy some strong PBN links from the marketplace.
