Buzzfeed Discovers Blackhat SEO

Buzzfeed learns about Blackhat SEO.

"At some point, her family took down WeLovePatty.com and stopped paying for the domain name. That enabled it to be hijacked by parasitic digital marketers who trick readers into visiting sites that sometimes sell sketchy products and services. Search engine optimization consultants buy expired URLs that have been linked to by prominent news websites and redirect these domains to their clients' sites in a bid to game search results.

An investigation by BuzzFeed News found dozens of examples of the link hijack scheme being used to secure backlinks from at least 10 major news sites, including the New York Times, the Guardian, Forbes, HuffPost, CNN, BBC News, and Bloomberg.

These results are another example of how search engines like Google are being manipulated at scale by a global industry of shady SEO consultants and marketers that take over expired domains, acquire once-credible websites, place undisclosed sponsored content, and launch extensive manipulation campaigns to make their content appear higher in search results."

They wrote it as if it required extensive proxies, anonymity, knowledge of algebra and complex algorithms to find out about blackhat and greyhat backlinking when you could literally type "huffpost backlinks service" on Google to find out how.
