Does anyone work with iGaming companies, particularly in the Turkish market?

We have noticed a trend of fake sites ranking for our branded terms, with 0 DR, 0 links.

Just a brand new site, with what looks like AI content, targeting our main keywords.

Has anyone seen this and know how they're doing it? We need to start using these tactics to go on the offence, rather than just rely on traditional methods, which aren't as effective any more.

Yeah, I’ve seen that too. Those sites usually rely on aggressive churn-and-burn tactics with fresh domains and some clever on-page tricks. They rank fast, get traffic, and move on before Google catches up.
 
These new AI sites rank fast because they’re exploiting Google’s freshness and topical-relevance loopholes.

When a brand-new domain publishes AI-generated, keyword-stuffed content, Google temporarily tests it in the SERP to measure engagement (CTR, dwell time, bounce). If the page matches the “search intent” well enough, even without backlinks, it can jump up fast.

Most of them also use:
  1. Expired domains or aged accounts with a clean history.
  2. Aggressive internal linking to fake topical authority.
  3. Auto-indexing APIs or mass-ping tools to get crawled fast.
  4. AI content that mimics high-authority pages using LLMs (so Google’s NLP thinks it’s relevant).
  5. Short-term CTR manipulation (paid clicks or bots) to trigger user-behavior boosts.
They usually fade after a few weeks. During that time, they steal your branded keywords and take your traffic.

So the counterplay is: mix strong regional signals + authority backlinks + entity building (schema, PR, socials) so Google clearly understands your brand as the true source. Once that’s locked in, these fake sites lose ranking power fast.
 
Those are very likely cloaked pages, not real zero authority miracles. The visible version is optimized for crawl and entity match, not for visitors.

Hard to say for sure without seeing the exact keyword and SERP.
 
We've been using high DR guest posts as our main source of backlinks, but with limited effect. These new sites seem to just jump to #1 overnight. What do you guys suggest?

How do we use the same tactics to rank our own short term sites?
 
Yes, I have noticed the same situation. These new sites often take advantage of fresh domain signals and temporary algorithm gaps. They rise quickly but usually do not maintain their rankings for long.
 
I would pay for such a service. If anyone got a contact, let me know.
 
Yes, that’s been happening across several markets lately. Some new sites temporarily rank by leveraging fresh domains, trending keywords, and fast content generation before algorithms catch up. It’s usually a short-term visibility spike rather than a stable strategy. Focusing on brand authority, structured content, and consistent updates remains the safest long-term approach.

Yes, this trend is quite common in the Turkish iGaming market. Many fake sites are ranking quickly using AI generated content, exact match domains, and fast indexing methods. They often rely on parasite SEO or short term domain boosts it works for quick visibility, but rarely lasts long.
 
Yeah, I’ve noticed the same thing. Looks like they’re using fresh domains, fast indexing, and AI generated content to grab quick rankings. Best move is to strengthen your brand SEO, publish fresh content often, and report fake sites when possible.
 
If anyone knows how to do this, I'd like to use their service. Please contact with me.
 
Turkish iGaming is a specific beast because gambling is legally grey there which means Google's local algorithm behaves differently - it's less strict about traditional authority signals for these queries because there are no "legitimate" established players the way there are in regulated markets.
The 0 DR 0 links ranking on branded terms is almost certainly a combination of exact match domain or very close brand name match plus hyper-targeted on-page optimization for your specific brand keywords. In grey market niches Google sometimes ranks fresh sites faster because it doesn't have a strong sense of who the "real" authority is.
To go on offense - file DMCA if they're using your brand assets. Submit a brand impersonation report to Google Search Console. Get your own branded terms locked down with proper schema markup and entity signals so Google clearly knows who the real brand is.
For copying their approach - exact match or partial match domains targeting competitor brand terms is the play they're running. Not complicated, just aggressive.
 
I've used these methods before. The key to using this method is selecting keywords that are brand names. These keywords should be relatively new, ideally within the last 1-3 months. The easiest way to do this is simply to register domains that match those keywords.
