https://findanyanswer.com 2.8m Organic Traffic on a 3 month old website

I came across this site a few weeks ago as well when doing keyword research. I have no idea how they're ranking so high, but I have to say I'm impressed. They literally just copy a shortened version of the content from other sites and then have a link to an iframed copy of their whole page on the site. So even the link which they use to "credit" the author doesn't go to the original author's site, the visitor still remains on their site and is just shown an iframed copy of the site they ripped the content from.

I have no idea why Google allows this and rewards them with millions of visitors every month. So much for quality, original content being king, right?

Essentially they are scraping google SERP..
Example

https://findanyanswer.com/what-is-contact-paper-used-for
Now compare this to Google SERP https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&sxsrf=ALeKk00Sbh7tJVheGoIGTZrMOJCjQqV17g:1606200247729&ei=t6u8X8eALLubwbkP9N-A2AE&q=What+is+contact+paper+used+for

It scrap one box...then went to 1st related search under "Searches related to What is contact paper used for" and so on...


You are welcome

Thanks mate. I was looking into it.
Probably achieved through something like screaming frog. https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/how-to-scrape-google-search-features-using-xpath/

Just feed it 300,000 questions and off you go.

I guess the hard part is perhaps categorizing the questions, I don't know if that can be easily automated.

This strategy could be used for quora scraping as well. Basically a script could be made to scrape quora questions, and their answers with few filters in place.

I might do it.

As a developer generating sites like these is relatively easy. The hard part is getting them to rank from my experience. In this instance it looks like it was an e-commerce site until a couple of years ago. So might be an expired domain.
