Yeah the decent expired domains disappear pretty fast. Finding one with a clean history and links that actually make sense takes a lot more digging now
I usually ignore random spam links unless theres a clear pattern or actual impact. No point chasing every junk domain that shows up in the backlink report
I check older pages before creating something new especially if they already have impressions or links. A solid refresh can be much easier than starting from zero
If the account keeps getting removed the forum probably sees the links as promotion. Better to contribute normally and only link when it genuinely adds something to the discussion.
Ads and PBNs solve different problems. Ads can bring traffic quickly while PBNs are mainly an SEO risk. For a new site solid content and relevant links make more sense long term.
I still build the main citations but mostly for consistency and trust. For map pack movement reviews and the GBP seem to have a lot more impact in my experience.
Social signals can help a new site look active but I wouldnt expect them to do much on their own. Natural activity makes more sense than just pushing volume.
Yeah links can definitely lose value over time. I check if the page is still indexed and the link is actually live before counting it as a useful backlink.
I have seen fresh domains rank without buying links especially in smaller niches. Once the SERP gets competitive though getting real links becomes much harder to avoid.
