Copy site, WTF, they have more traffic!

[jeanfrank]

Hi, guys
Happy New Year! I noticed a site: https://wikizero.com/. All of the pages were copied from wikipedia.org.
Also, this site has reached more than 500K per month.
The copy content is okay for google?
Thanks in advance

But according to all these SEO Guru's duplicated content with spam links doesn't work, at all?

Are we being duped?

Copied content has always been good for google.

500K

Where do you see the site has such a traffic by copying the entire wikipedia site?

I'm really getting tempted to try this now.
I've been tracking findanyanswer since last year and it is still going strong with millions of visits every month. Maybe google wants copied trash, so be it. Let's give it to them.

This site was on my watchlist as well.
But then realized the bounce rate would be too high with the way content is being structured.

They're receiving 10m+ hits every month. Majority of them from the US and UK. Even 1 banner that just pays based on CPM would mean you're making a huge chunk of money.

They probably do and want to keep us out of the competition

Copied content is a new norm, and apparently google doesn't do anything to catch them. StackOverflow have at least 10+ leachers that are cloning posts and even replies (ex. pretagteam .com, www.py4u .net) , w3schools .com too have clones aka geeksforgeek s.org which at least do some minimal renaming and branding on functions from w3schools, etc
