May be anecdotal, but my issues went away after removing AAWP from my "pillar" articles & only having affiliate content under gear recommendations. I have heard people saying the last few updates are brutal to affiliate sites. Screenshot is one of my bigger keywords, traffic came back around 5...

You could build a system to publish your content, I would recommend against automating the rest, diverse hosting is important to avoid footprints. I think having an automated system to setup each pbn would probably create footprints.

Can be hard to get those sites approved for major ad networks (AdSense is very text reliant). Also sometimes legal issues, one of those mp3 sites got sued by RIAA https://torrentfreak.com/riaa-targets-popular-youtube-ripper-with-60-million-monthly-visits-220402/.

One of my sites most popular page has gone from the main SERP it ranks for, but it's really odd because it's a popular & compeititve keyword but now Google is only returning 38 (mostly irrelevant results). Is this related to the indexing bug? Other pages actually gained ranking position for...

I've incorporated a company before, mainly for tax reasons. Liability is hard with a 1 man company, contact a lawyer who specializes in asset protection if it's a major concern. I will say the TL;DR is you cannot use Limited companies or similar to get away with illegal activity.

Update to previous review: Vendor reached out & provided a full refund, in addition to agreeing to work with me to remove any links I was unhappy with. They also clearing up some misconceptions about these kind of services I had (for example wiki links like I described on BHW does not usually...

I can't read Portugese but a quick look makes me wonder if the issue is the amount of affiliate links, combined with lack of evidence you actually reviewed the product? I know google is trying to crack down on top 10 lists with no real world product experience.

Paypal Trans ID ending in : S805940F No obvious ranking effect 3 months after ordering a platinum package, thinking it may actually be harming things. Not super bothered about getting a refund as it's an inexpensive service, but if I would appreciate removal of the links. Huge numbers of...

All of that (except for guest posts) is useless or harmful. If you have a large amount of junk backlinks and no good ones, that looks bad to Google.

The other benefit is that you can sanely buy many sites to use in a PBN, but having 10s of 301 redirects would look super sketchy.

Wouldn't worry about it, google is smart enough to figure out where a website is intended for, especially if the TLD is for a small country.

Using my understanding of the topic, I prompt each h2, occasionally incorporating information from other sources alongside GPT's knowledge. Instead of worrying about AI detectors, which are typically ineffective, my main concern is crafting valuable and engaging content for readers. It's not...

Just a tip, use ahrefs free backlink checker to evaluate expired domains. Semrush authority is now based on organic keywords & search traffic, which of course doesn't exist on a dead website so it's not a great read. As long as it's a normal priced (lets say $10) domain, it's not a bad place to...

Another paid option is Cloudflare's Platform Optimization you can get by purchasing the pro plan of Cloudflare. I recently used this on a site after having performance issues despite trying everything and I'm finally getting a 96 on lighthouse.

Discovered this by accident when I tried out Bing Webmaster Tools, which unlike Google's allows you to see any backlinks known by Bing of any site! Step 1: Go to bing webmaster tools and add at least one website, doesn't need to be worth anything. Step 2: Click on the Backlinks section & now...

Google seems to list it when explaining good vs bad affiliate sites, under quality guidelines. No idea how they check, if it's a matter of checking for duplicates, or wha.

The answer is generally considered to be no, although many people think that they do use google services to identify PBNs, possibly just by shared tags (IE adsense, analytics). Webmaster tools can definitely help with SEO (for example to request indexing faster than Google might discover on...

Semrush most of the time, ahrefs for assessing domains. Semrush rank is more based on organic traffic while ahrefs is links, Sem is probably more accurate for active sites, but for expired domains ahrefs is a good reference.

I once purchased an SEO package and ended up with a bunch of "Kliqqi CMS" (a forum / reddit clone software) links. It's possible some of those were a PBN, certainly didn't help rankings, all of the posts on these sites seem to be some SEOs. I don't think it's a smart strategy. Web apps might be...

Backlinks hit GSC yesterday and today I'm starting to notice improvements in rankings, got an email on 9/22 that my order was completed, so it took a little over a week from then to start working! Have to say I'm happy with every aspect of the T-Ranks experience so far. Will post back in a...
