    How to use indexing services?

    Send your urls to indexers after a couple of rounds of verification. I'm not sure what options your software has for this, but you really don't want to send urls immediately to an indexer after a single verification.

    More parasite opportunities for the EU?

    We've all seen popular parasite domains being hit during Google updates (it's 'Site Reputation Abuse' spam actions), wiping out millions of positions. But thanks to the good old EU enforcers, Google is no longer allowed to arbitrarily hit domains with the ban hammer for such actions, and Google...

    Scraping Google about to get even harder?

    Using Google SERPs as a data source has been increasingly difficult over the past few years. First they made socket-based scraping difficult unless you can emulate a Javascript-capable environment, then they did away with the num=100 parameter, increasing our needed scraping requests x10 for the...

    Is mass producing content purely for seo becoming harder to scale ?

    I have sites full of GPT-J generated content still indexed and receiving traffic. The generation of articles via AI is not the issue, there are many other signals that can signify scaled content abuse (posting speed, site structure, link signals etc)

    multiple expired domains and hreflang en-in

    Didn't the last 2 spam updates do away with that canonical trick you're attempting?

    Have you ever removed a page that was actually bringing traffic

    I think the key word here is was. I've removed many pages that were receiving traffic but only when that traffic dropped off or tanked completely. Many times I pretty much copy/pasted the entire page content onto a parasite and rode the traffic wave for longer. But I've never removed a page that...

    Why do SEOs focus so much on .EDU and .GOV backlinks?

    The leaked Claude system prompt actually did specify gov sites as a favoured source of information: Favor original sources (e.g. company blogs, peer-reviewed papers, gov sites, SEC) over aggregators and secondary sources. Find the highest-quality original sources. Skip low-quality sources like...

    Where is everybody getting these links from?!

    Most of those domains in the screenshot come from Money Robot. They are set up to look like real web2.0/free blog sites but if you submit content through a browser rather than through the Money Robot interface your content will be deleted with a day or so.

    Reddit is now forcing users to log in to read their posts (terrible for a parasite?)

    It was always gonna happen sooner or later. It's just a content source for AI overviews now.

    [Discussion] Parasite SEO in Aug 2026: My website died . Worth it after recent updates?

    Have your ranks completely died? What were they replaced with - brands? If your content on the affected pages is pushing affiliates, I've had success with just taking the deranked content off my site and slapping it on a parasite (with maybe a few rewrites/embelishments), only to see it climb...

    Building backlinks before the website goes online

    I'd be careful with anything besides naked/branding-type links for a site with no current presence, as IIRC there was an attribute in the Google leaks that covered 'first retrieval' content and anchors.

    Noticed something weird with tiered links lately

    What are your T1s like? Good internal linkage or basically orphaned?

    Minor update to Google's HTML parser

    Google has updated its JSON-LD parser to only perform a single pass of HTML unescaping. So if you use JSON-LD structured data you need to update your markup to use proper escapes. This is especially relevant for sites using CMSs, themes, or apps (Shopify, WooCommerce, etc.) that auto-generate...

    Copy or find competitors backlinks?

    This is the ideal way to build on competitors backlinks - become part of the consensus that Google loves so much.

    Is it true that the EU is pushing DuckDuckGo over Google??

    Do you have a link to where an official EU body is pushing DDG?

    Quick question for the SEO guys here. Link Building Strategies

    Apart from what you've mentioned, I look at: RDs - referring domains, rather than total backlinks Indexation - does a site:domain search bring back loads of indexed results or just a few (or none) Ranks - is the site actually ranking for anything with more than ### monthly searches Your...

    Balancing Automation With Quality: What Actually Works?

    I think the question is do you really think all your content can provide genuine value? The majority of published content on the web is filler. It's doubtful that every piece of content you can produce will have genuine value that can't be found elsewhere, or that hasn't already been covered by...

    Weights for the X algorithm have been publicly released

    Interesting, as it's arguably one of the easiest to automate too.
