I'm looking for someone to create a Wikipedia page for a reputable company not meeting the strict official requirements of importance Wikipedia demands (so far). Language doesn't matter (but latin characters mandatory). Please only apply if you can guarantee that the page won't be moderated in a...

Properly is the key, I think most people don't scale it enough, since it's a numbers game. Throw enough shit to the wall and some will stick ;)

Silo structures still work, but it doesn't mean that you have to structure is by directories, especially with modern day content management systems.

The biggest I have ever seen (in terms of really having a look in the backend and knowing the owner personally) was about 3500 domains, unfortunately busted by Google. Not completely, but like 90%+ of it. The biggest I have ever built personally was close to 200 domains.

Works perfectly fine, but be careful with footprints that allow people to identify it's the same owner, e.g. whois, phone number on site, adress on site, company name, site design. If some competitor finds out and reports you, it can get ugly. That's not a speculation but first hand experience...

Even with these resources, a lot of luck is needed, because there are people with similar infrastructure AND dozen, sometimes hundreds bogus registrars just to grab domains. I personally went to "strange extensions", extensions that don't offer automated registrations and similar.

700€ is not much for a copyright violation, try this with Getty and you'll easily end up paying at least 3x. If you have your business in the EU, if you have your official adress in an imprint on your website, just pay them the 700€. If it goes to court...and it will if you don't pay...costs for...

There is no general number that's safe, but two is fine. I certainly wouldn't use a dozen. Depends a bit on the age of your site, the size, where you redirect the domain to (hompage, individual article, category).

Well, ads can make a PBN site look more real, but I'd rather use "fake" ads (with proper nofollow). These sites won't get a lot of rankings or visitors anyway. The biggest problem is footprints, you don't want the same affiliate codes/IDs on all your PBN sites.

Yes, but if the penalty was caused by the content aka "pure spam" and not by the links aka "unnatural links", the party won't last long and you'll always get penalized again after a few days, weeks or months.

A disavow doesn't fix any data inconsistancy and there is no point in disavowing these citations. The link isn't the problem, it's the outdated data. In general, disavowing is possible on exact URL level or on (sub)domain level. From my experience: After an adress change, there will always be...

First of all, a pure spam penalty is a 100% onpage penalty for useless, rubbish, crapy content without value for users. Second, of course Google recognizes redirects after a page is indexed. May work a few hours or days, but Google then removes the page from the index again.

Thanks and when looking at the reactions, it looks like you really hit a nerve, especially regarding the the money machine "contributor account posts" on very popular magazines and newspapers.

The terms are often mixed up here, some sellers offer high quality PBN posts disguised as guest post. A real guest post simply means a post on a real site/blog made for human readers, ideally with some reputation in the niche and/or good metrics. A PBN is just made for SEO purposes. That's what...

Daniel mentioned a few important points. From my experience, Trust Pilot is a really tough one, they are A LOT better spotting fake reviews than e.g. Google. Especially without a fake or real purchase, prepare for the worst. They tend not to moderate immediately, often reviews get killed after...

The potato example is a really good. I see results only partly matching the query for many searches in certain niches, while Google identified the search without a flaw before these core updates. The new AI seems to have a lower IQ or simply gets the search intent wrong sometimes.

Yep, first an increase after March update, a spike at 03/21 (traffic tripled on that day), then a sharp drop for the last days. Seeing a similar pattern here for the sites that were affected by the medic update.

My analytics looks the same, after the initial drop it only became worse. YMYL health, too and it's still the same shallow mainstream press articles (often with a bunch of factual errors) ranking now, plus revived expireds pretending to be the old site with unrelated but well ranking new articles.

PBNs aren't doomed, but while links are still very important, they aren't as dominant as a ranking factor as they were a few years ago.

It's old news, but it looks like they are still adapting it, doesn't hurt to have it bundled in one thread since it's the same algorithm.
