Game hack CPA site deindexed

Honestly I believe this is becoming a churn and burn thing if that makes sense. If you do these niche's, your domain may live for a while. However, it will eventually be penalized. It's obviously not stable at this point as hundreds of domains were penalized. And the fact that there's little to no results under these terms proves itself that they are definitely being targeted.

I personally wouldn't risk the effort or even think about investing into this because you never know when your site may be penalized. Right now, I am unsure of certain terms whether they're blacklisted or if they're on a "Google Watch List" for penalization. I wouldn't bother touching it for awhile unless you have the money to blow on it for testing purposes.

Supercell did it. 3 of my sites got DMCA, they simply report hack sites to google.
 
they can look for certain terms in source with regex. not sure what u mean by cpa articles, i personally use spun text, and they cant detect it yet, because such pages rank on first page of G often. if they can detect spun text, then they are not doing it, because its too resource heavy for them.
So many flaws. If someone is giving a free download than wouldn't that flag too? Couldn't a lot of these legit sites get deindexed. If it was that simple than they would have done it in go(their c based lang) by now which is amazing for things like this.
 
You can say bye to these sites. The niche seems more for churn&burn which on the other hand has become much harder on Google.
 
Well, you are in for a treat it seems. Many others have reported that their websites got slapped with a Google penalization. I suggest you "don't keep all your eggs in one basket" as most people say. Good luck!

Go big or go home on this shit :)
 
Feb 10th, all hell broke loose.

Edit: Biggest problem with the games hacks niche is that they are inherent spam. They literally don't provide anything. The offers don't exist, the hacks aren't real, and they only exist to get people to complete CPA offers.

Homeopathic medicine, legal "steroids," sleazy cam sites, affiliate sales for bestpocketpussies.us, etc -- set up original, legible content with moderately clean links and you can rank totally fine long or longer term, because the thing you sell exists.

How the fuck can you expect to avoid penalties with a fake games hacks site that has no actual product? Makes no difference how well the site is designed when the offer is inherently spam because it doesn't exist.

I think is very easy for Google detect it. All these types of webs have "hack", "cheat" in his domain. Also have content locker from ogads , cpagrip..
Same structure.
-How to get x free gems?
-How to use the x gems tool?
- Its safe use x gems tool?

It is and was years ago too. Why would they do it now I wonder? :D

Omg tell me about it. Used to waste my time hours finding paypal money generator on youtube and google lol.
 
Mine also got hit since 6 Feb. But a week ago the site showed up at #24 for a keyword that never rank before. Unfortunately it didn't stay for long and has been gone for days since.
 
This is great. I mean if the problem is the fake offers then the seo is not dead but the fake offers.
 
Sorry about your loss OP, there is not much you can do at this point but create a new one.

Because of your thread I remembered I found a 50k monthly search hack keyword with no competition a while back but I didn't do anything with it yet.

I know this might be off topic but would you recommend going with CPI or content lockers for this?

Yes, I hear the conversion rate is quite high for these game hacks sites.

Well, this was the big one that I have been building content for. Unlike most of the hack sites like how you describe, I have about 20,000 words of content. I'm bummed because it was turning out to be pretty well polished. Maybe I can salvage it by repurposing it into an amazon affiliate site...
Plausibly.

Personally, I'd try to figure out a way to have the same affiliate offers and KWs without blatantly lying. Rank for "Clash of Clans" hack and then be like "ha ha fuck all these assholes that pretend like they have real hacks, it's all fake. The closest thing to a CoC hack is to read a super detailed guide, like this PDF that I put behind a content locker."

Then hook up that real, not-misleading document to the same CPA offers. Would probably pass a manual review, which is the main problem that all of these game hacks sites are running into.

You could probably get tons of $$$ by clickbaiting the shit out of the title tag + description. People always click on things that imply that they're going to get scammed/get tricked/will miss out if they don't click:
  • Title:
    • Clash of Clans "Hacks"? 41% of Players Fall for this Scam...
  • Description:
    • Almost 1 in 2 players who visit CoC "hack" sites get viruses or worse... blackmailed! One player even had his hard drive wiped by a Ukranian scammer...
That should convert like crazy and stick in the SERPs long term.

Most if not all of the (many) sites I've seen get hit are getting the https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2604777?hl=en penalty, which Google describes as a penalty that is used if a site "appears to use aggressive spam techniques such as automatically generated gibberish, cloaking, scraping content from other websites, and/or other repeated or egregious violations of Google’s quality guidelines"

It's definitely an issue with the onpage content that the game hacks sites are using. The Pure Spam penalty is pretty much only going to show up if your actual offer or website itself is spam (as opposed to spammy links or whatever).

Mine has no penalties. Just ranks going haywire.
