Believe me, running three to five websites is more than enough work. It's impossible to properly operate 100 content sites for long-term survival and good rankings unless your strategy is simply to 'publish and burn'.

Despite Google's declaration of a completed core update, Semrush Sensor data indicates ongoing adjustments to the search giant's algorithm.

Bing is relatively much easier to rank on, and AI-generated content can easily get into the top three. In non-English markets, I can often rank first. However, Bing's market share and traffic are still far behind Google's, so the only way to succeed is through volume. By publishing several...

Typically, these [black hat SEO] sites can survive for 3-6 months, with a few lasting over a year. However, based on my observations, the number that survives for more than a year is extremely rare. The initial setup cost is very high; don't fantasize that any random domain can achieve rankings...

For non-English markets, SEO might never die, simply because there isn’t enough data for AI to crawl effectively. As a result, AI either generates nonsensical content from its internal training data or produces outright hallucinations. In the English-speaking market, there are typically 3 to 5...

Google doesn't care about third-party metrics like DR, nor does it factor them into rankings. This approach merely inflates DR without generating real traffic or sales. The only purpose might be to artificially boost DR so the website can be sold at a higher price. However, this trick only fools...

If you have no money, the only black hat SEO technique you might use is Parasite SEO, but even that's getting increasingly difficult. All other black hat strategies you've heard of absolutely require money, and black hat SEO is far more difficult than white hat SEO. Creating a black hat website...
