Hi, while doing some keyword research for a specific niche, I accidentally found a huge "network" of spamdexing hitting google pretty hard for a big amount of keywords. Some details about its structure:
- thousands of expired domains . Each domain contains 500 - 2500 internal php pages. Everything is redirected with 302 temporary redirect ( used redirectdetective.com to check this) to another domain which kinda acts as a doorway for a second , and then finally all the traffic ends up on a popular affiliate network. You can´t really see the content of any of the internal php pages. But the text appearing on the snippet is totally junk, unrelated and unreadable. So no way they are ranking because of quality content.
- All the domains are hosted in cloudfare ( I guess they are using the free plan ,otherwise hosting all those domains will be costly) . Used hostingchecker.com to get this info
- They target low competition keywords on this niche, even for some query searches, they rank with 8 or 9 different domains.
- using webrate.org says that they get 25.000 UVs / day in total.
- I tried to download / scrape internal links / check html or php code of a few of these domains and nothing comes in. Not using scrapebox or similar software.
first I would like to congratulate the people behind this , for laughing at google this way . At least, they have been doing this method for the last 3 years , by checking the registration date of their main domain collecting all the traffic at the end.
now, here comes the big question for the SEO experts on the forum:
how to do Spamdexing , this way , without being screwed by google ?
