Yandex is pretty broken, but keep developing it.

Hello comrades,
I was aiming to create SEO landing pages for a casino brand and drive decent traffic to the page, but even though the page is searchable, it hasn't gotten a single click, which is really upsetting me :weep:

That's why I'm researching blackhat SEO techniques. So far, the methods I've found suggest I need to find a clean expired domain with no history of penalties, and then redirect it to the main site using a 301 redirect.
If any experts:alien: could shed some light on this, that would be great. If you could share the tips for ranking on the first page of Yandex in Turkey for the keyword “deneme bonusu,” I'd be very grateful. My current plan is to get an Ahrefs subscription for $250, so I can analyze expired domains myself and set up alerts for suitable domains. I'm genuinely curious about what others are doing in this regard.

I haven't heard about seo for ranking on the first page of Yandex, I will be glad to know about it.

As I trying to learn more about on Yandex, I will share it here and summarize the topic with the latest good results.

It doesn't make any sense, there isn't a single backlink and it's in first place. Are you saying it would be better to use white hat SEO? But here's the thing: sites like this are usually shut down within 1-2 months. Isn't white hat SEO related to organic growth? I think I'll lose the domain before the site gets picked up by SEO radar. :)



As a software developer, SEO is really as broad a field as software development itself. :weep:
 
I’ve worked quite a bit in the casino niche and especially with “deneme bonusu” type keywords, so I can tell you Yandex works differently than Google. Redirecting clean expired domains with 301s does help, but only if the domains are relevant and have solid local backlinks in their history. Otherwise Yandex discounts them quickly. What works better is mixing contextual backlinks from Turkish blogs, forums, and even .tr web 2.0s with a few powerful PBN posts.

Also make sure the content is in native Turkish and the hosting IP is local, because Yandex gives weight to geo signals more than Google. For expired domains, Ahrefs is fine, but Majestic often gives clearer Trust Flow data for casino projects. I’d also set alerts for links from gambling directories, because those still pass juice in Turkey.

If you combine a clean expired domain 301 with strong local backlinks and keep the content updated, you’ll have a much better chance at sticking on page one.

I wouldn't consider that BH at all.. it's almost as common as having backlinks.

Thanks for the valuable information. I'll try Majestic because it's more affordable.



My hosting server is located in Ukraine, so the IP address is Ukrainian. I think this is the first thing causing me problems.

Yeah that could definitely be part of the issue. Yandex puts a lot of weight on local relevance, and hosting location is one of those signals. If you switch to a turkish IP or at least somewhere closer, you’ll likely see better results. Pair that with turkish language backlinks and it should give your pages a stronger push. ukraine hosting wont kill rankings, but it makes it harder to compete for local intent keywords like “deneme bonusu.”

Your plan with Ahrefs and expired domains is a classic strategy for a reason. For Yandex in Turkey, local link sources are king. Look for forum profiles, Turkish web directories, and guest posts on relevant .tr sites. Don't give up!

Thanks for awesome motivation reply bro!
 
I'm trying to understand the first page challenges between Yandex and Google.





Google definitely places a lot of weight on domain age and backlinks. Most sites on the first page have only one index or no more than three pages. Domain values for these types of domains start at $1,500 from providers. But that's too expensive for me. I can't afford to spend money without making any!





Yandex, on the other hand, prioritizes:

Domain name: Domain names close to the keyword always come first!

/ Page SEO: My 3 AI content attempts failed. However, I found that basic HTML and CSS written by hand were quite successful.

/ Quality backlinks: As a Russian platform, “VK” provides high-quality backlinks for backlink quality.



The status of my websites:

They're still in a pretty mediocre state; I haven't gotten a single click yet. I'm trying to make improvements.
