Thanks. I think being picky about the anchor text is probably the biggest thing in my case. Had any experience with selling links through 3rd party services like loveto.link? Don't think it would be worth it to try and personally find buyers so having a handful of 3rd party sellers might be...

Selling do-follow links on well established sites with decent organic traffic: Worth it or too much long term risk? Wouldn't link to pharma, gambling, or anything that didn't pass malware link checks. I've made PBNs in the past but never cared about whether or not they lost search ranking...

This wasn't a leak of "ranking factors" it was a leak of their "ContentWarehouse" API reference. It lists all the functions in that monolith along with their parameters and a short description of each. This doesn't tell you how they're actively used, how much the ones that do represent ranking...

Zero effort

At least put some effort into it your trolling

Quitting now is like jumping out of a plane without a parachute, then trying to sew one together on the way down. Here's the thing; you want to stop being pissed off about your situation, but being pissed off is exactly what you need. Comfort makes you lazy, discomfort makes you move your ass...

Ahh Matt, still up in Chiang Mai, selling the dream to the wantrepreneurs. Look, unless your plan is to rehash freely available info into your own make money online course aimed at noobs who don't know they're throwing their cash away, there's really not much to learn from people like this. If...

These metrics mean nothing. They exist to sell a service to people who don't know any better. I have sites with absolutely abysmal scores on all these 3rd party link metric tools that rank for countless keywords and get 500k-1m uniques per month. According to these tools, these sites should be...

Yeah, no. You're thinking evolution says humans evolved from monkeys, it doesn't.

Nope, and there won't be unless you want to spend close to $200k for a pod of A100s. These small open source models are useless for anything but dabbling. The only exception is for image generation and even then you'll have to rent out an H100 and then train it to get decent results, and that...

Probably the countless examples of people using it to lure sad, lonely people into a false sense that they've got some kind of real relationship so they can hustle them for cash. It's not just an adult site, if people just wanted porn there's an unlimited supply of it online for free. It's the...

No I didn't. And no idea what post you're talking about. Honestly don't know what you're talking about in general, your replies are pretty incoherent and all over the place so let's just end it here.

What fire? OP is asking for advice, I'm giving real examples of what to expect. You said you ran an adult site of some kind that was getting 30K somethings per day, is that page views? I've been running a site with the exact same kind of content OP produces for 15 years now which gets several...

Examples of text only, erotic story sites making a lot of money. The largest one I've seen claims to get 50m page views a month, it's been around over 20 years, has hundreds of thousands of pages. It runs typical ads for cam sites and such. I know what these kind of ads pay out (it's low). I'd...

Exactly. And granted, it's not uncommon for a company to operate a service at a loss hoping to eventually grow it to the point where they can monetize and be profitable. But all businesses in China are really owned by the CCP as is all property. While The founders of Bytedance may not be...

Again, we're talking about erotic stories. "Article sites" can mean anything.

You're right, the owner is Bytedance and not Tencent, but that is the only thing I was wrong about and really, I was only technically wrong on the surface as both companies are directly operated by the CCP with CCP party members at the highest ranks of management, access to all their data...

Because DA is basically a meaningless vanity metric that people give WAY too much importance to. All these SEO tool companies eventually get to the point where they come up with some flimsy way of trying to calculate how important a site is based on its backlinks and the ones from the older...

Use the actual alphabet of that language and ASCII encode it. All modern browsers will automatically decode the ASCII encoding back into the UTF-8 or Unicode characters and Google will as well for display. Trying to translate a language into an English equivalent to use ASCII characters will...

I didn't see anywhere in that post that discussed slugs/url structure as applying to Google's crawl budget. I've never seen any proof that a particular URL structure gets more pages indexed (outside of obviously bad ones, e.g. non-descriptive, non-unique on the site, too short, keyword spammed...
