Been off scene for few years - whats changed

Hi guys
I used to do a fair bit of SEO about 4 or 5 years ago, for my local business site. Back then i was buying and repurposiing expired domains, is this still a good tactic to use? or has the almighty G found a way to defeat this yet?

Iu sed to use Terry Kyles bluechip backlinks and it seemed to work ok, i didnt go mad, just added a few decent domains and i was doing ok but ive been focusing on property for a while but just want to know if nayone still recoemmends this approach and if Terrys stuff is still worth using, if not where else can i get expired domains from?

thanks

Whats changed is i sleep on a nice big bed now. Used to be a couch that opens up until recently and for years before that.

So there's one thing thats changed.

Someone else can fill you in on the rest

I would not bother with expired domains myself.
This guy is selling guest posts at local new websites with links, that would be a good link for a local business:

The old spam game has been shut down mostly,
nowadays, you can't simply rank using some spammy content, web 2.0s & GSA links unless you're targeting some spam niches, low competitive or foreign
You have to focus more on the quality and aim for HQ links & decent content to be able to get long term ranking

thanks, as far as i can remember, the web 2.0 werent used much then anyway- not sure to be honest

The expired domains still work but the backlink methods have completely changed. Guest posts & Niche edits are working if you get a good seller.

Google got better, rolled out a few updates to the algorithm, and marketers are screwed.
Basically, sh*t got a lot harder for the avg joe.
