Today I am feeling cool, as titled suggested, I will out a website, this website is the biggest blackhat website in 30 years of internet history I accidentally found when do searching, yeah I know what you are thinking: bullshit, how could that be possible? How do ya know that?! Well, yeah lets see!


The website is not in English, its in Chinese Traditional. (why this is important explained below)


The website is:

Code:
kknews.cc

First lets site: it to check it a bit:

Yeah! Only 93,000,000 posts, what a pity right? You better hire your VA now to write 93000000 posts to get your site there too! Just do it!


And wait! Lets check Alexa.com RANK of it:

And this website indeed the top 1,000 site in the world LOL, now let me ask you a question, if a website is pure black hat and squeezed into the top 1000 site in earth planet web for years, is it the biggest black hat website in this world? And Not one of.

I guess you have noticed the traffic source, mainly from Taiwan and Hong Kong, why? Because they use traditional Chinese language in their daily life.

Before I explain you why this matters and why this special strategy worked, lets give this site a simple check to see what it looks alike:

Oh God, this is like your 80s web pages, with general categories, nothing special right? And what if I told you its 93000000 articles all scraped? LOL what? Hell Yeah!

And indeed, they scrape all the contents 24/7 for years and unstoppable from

Code:
https://www.toutiao.com/

If you don't know this website, it is one of the most popular phone apps/news site in China mainland, and the users of this app is at least 1/3 billion. This site/app contains everything you need, from news to articles, near everything, and everyone in China can publish things on it to earn money, you can regard it like facebook page or whatever, this is a paramount super APP in China. And another similar one is Baidu.com, I guess you literally heard about it, its biggest and only search engine and one of the top tech company in China.

Oh wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you know Tiktok right? How dare you don't know it! Well, and surprise!!!!!! this super APP toutiao.com is belong to the parent company of Tiktok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You get it?!


You are confused as hell now: but why? You didn't explain anything! Why this scraped website is in top-1000 and earn millions per year and for years, and why Google hasn't do anything to it?


A very important knowledge behind this: the language problem.


China has billion+ people, and they only speak Chinese simplified! But in Hong Kong and Taiwan, or anyone use Chinese traditional language in this world, this 2 language is a bit different! Of course you can understand both no matter you are hong konger or Chinese, its very minor difference like you simply draw more lines on a character. For example, give it a feel:

You don't know Chinese, okay, but if you do, its simply as you speak portuguese and your neighbour is speaking portuguese (brazil) lol, its even more minors than that!


BUT


HERE IS THE TRICK PART:


Toutiao.com as I said contains everything and more than 93000000++++ posts as you can guess, kknews.cc scraped it 24/7 and use somewhat Chinese Simplified ---> Chinese traditional translator to make it unique to Google! But its far from a translator, its not translate, its just like you turn "1" to "one"!!!!!!!!!

Because articles original source is simplified Chinese, but now all articles scraped and turned into traditional ones! How Google can tell that?! He can't.

The characters you can see is though different, but people can tell its plagiarized at very first glance in less than 1s, all 93000000 articles are plagiarized from toutiao.com and this website put adsense and earn million if not millions per year for years!!!!!!!

wait, yeah Google can't tell difference but will any Googlers know this?!?!?! Hell yes!

And in fact, someone said in another forum that in a Google ad conference, a Googler said this website is 100% plagiarized Chinese mainland toutiao.com, but since its tooooooooo bigggggggggg, if remove it, the search experience for Chinese traditional speaking people around this world will be impacted a lot, wtf? I don't need to paste that claim in here, no need anymore. Its Just a claim no idea real or not. But for years, it is smoothly earn millions via adsense, I doubt its real!

Don't say karma or outline a site is not cool, because Google even does not care about it, HOW DARE YOU! LOL



Till here:



Just think about it, a biggest black hat site (100% scraped 93000000++ articles) in the 30 years internet history, top-1000 site, for years, put adsense, earn millions per year, it exists!
 
Its like the Galactus of the internet world.
 
I also wanna learn from this site, really make the Name. "blackhat SEO "
 
Actually I wanna try to convert the english site to Mandrain traditional language or simplield.

if not mistaken now isn't auto translate? I happen visit german site, the chrome browser will pop out auto translator to ask u wanna translate to english
 
Nice one.. Seriously, it's too big to be removed?

of course. Google is tough only against mortals like us. When they find someone their own size they're waggling their tail like a puppy in front of its master

With this post you haven't just outed one site, you've killed an entire method that would work for an arbitrary number of sites.

You get zero $$$ for this post.

Google gets millions worth.

That assymetry is how Google has destroyed SEO for everyone. You out one site, they kill 1000's.

This post is the perfect example why Google wins all the battles.

Loose lips sink ships.
 
like what the previous poster said, yeah, the biggest would be google,

1.) they have no actual content.
2.) the contents are provided by site owners yet sometimes they'd also cut excerpts from sites and show it on their first search results preventing users from entering sites.

so, with their AI tech, they could have easily scrape other news site and rewrite it on their google news.

Exactly, and this is exactly same as you can't apply adsense with a pure image site, but meanwhile, big image sharing sites like 4-chan etc can blatantly put it on. When you are big enough, you are the LAW.
 
truly a monster site OP. This post shows that loopholes always exists, one just have to look for them :)
