Back in 2017, on a lazy Sunday, I created a website specifically for CPA Content Locking in the Gaming niche.
On that website, I slammed around 15 posts targeting keywords like "Fortnite Aimbot", "PUBG Aimbot", etc and had that sweet CTA button that was linked to a content/file locker.
I must admit, the content was SUPER crappy but surprisingly a few months later, I logged in to my Google Analytics to realize that I was getting 200 unique visitors a day with the majority of my keywords ranking in the TOP 3 results on Yahoo and Bing. After checking my CPALead account (Yes CPALead sucks due to low payouts, but that's what I used back then), I was happy to see the website making 10-15 leads a day.
I left the website untouched for the past 4 years, happily making me a consistent 10-30 leads every single eday (CPALead paid $0.20/lead but I switched later on to CPABuild and they paid $1.5/lead)
Then came the dreaded 1st of July 2021 which is when I decided to add that website to Bing's Webmaster Tools and Microsoft Clarity in order analyze the traffic better and see how I can improve on the user experience, blah blah.....
A week later, I noticed that I am not getting any leads. I checked my Google analytics and my sweet 200-300 visitors/day turmoiled down to 2-3 visitors/day. It took me a couple of minutes to realize that my website was no longer listed on BING nor YAHOO, even when I search my WEBSITENAME.COM I get 0 results....
This is why I came to the conclusion that either:

This is why I came to the conclusion that either:
- I SHOULD NEVER add any BH assets to BING/GOOGLE webmaster tools/console.
- This was just a coincidence which I personally don't believe it is.
