I saw a bunch of websites today. They are new domains and have no external links, but their monthly traffic is as high as 5,000,000. They are all newly registered domains, not old domains. The website uses cloaking techniques. We can't see his source code, but it is included. This is very strange. Can you know his technique? Can you see his source code? He has made about 760 such websites. The URLs are: https://finelineoutlet.shop, kuidma.shop, vinciconpolaroid.it, massimolf.it

It looks like these are all deindexed now, but hese websites were probably just generating a lot of spam content and ranking for a lot of very easy keywords. The content is probably gibberish,scraped or AI generated, and was made only for the search crawlers to see, while real users get redirected to their affiliate offers.
 
I would love for someone more experienced to comment on this if possible. I doubt that guy will just dissapear. So yea hope for this to turn into a good thread
 
Why you outing my sites, are you working for Google?
 
I love it when someone remembers what we used to do on this forum :D
Indeed, "Black Hat SEO" used to be one category of Black Hat techniques. It used to be understood that you did not have to be dependent on Google search or Google indexing in order to optimize getting traffic and conversions for one's site. This means you could do a lot of BH tactics to get eyeballs on your domain.

Focusing on non-G methods meant you could not be penalized by G, as if you were getting links and engagement directly from a super high traffic sources, you didn't have to worry about competing with 10 million competitors fighting to stay on page one of the search results. Crowd links or SMO are some examples of alternative ways to go today to get the traffic, without the ranking hassles. You don't have to do SEO at all, in order to do black hat.

those look like spam/ai blogs using cloaker
those generally work great to generate traffic for longtail keywords
its always about generating new sites and getting traffic

That's for short term gain and will drop into nowhere land.
