BUY LINKS everyone... they work until they don't! Doesn't matter how shit they are.... Google spam filters run about 8 weeks behind everything else, probably to save on the energy bills, so they can pay for AIOs When your site dies.... just get another one and do it all again

Something stinks! How can a parked 123reg domain landing page outrank real sites? Is Google more of a punishing algorithm now than a reward system? When you have so many conflicting systems, the balance eventually gets skewed and no-seo pages inadvertently rank bingobonuses.me.uk/lander?oref=...

Another new day when my client is shoved off page 1 because of a bunch of new junk domains are pumped with fake viral traffic and now sit top of every query in the search range. @johnmu.com @methode.bsky.social @divingfor.fun Its almost infinite visibility loss for them while this continues.

I'm no football manager, or armchair coach for that matter. But my heart sank when I saw Anthony Gordon subbed off for a defender... that was not a post game reaction in anger, we were still 1-0 up. I just knew straight away it was a mistake.

Hacked "hope after suicide loss" domain ranking for UK gambling searches among other hacked or dropped domains. Its sickening how STUPID this exploit is... and still legitimate rule-following businesses in this niche are being destroyed @dannysullivan.bsky.social @johnmu.com @divingfor.fun

Not new news... but which AI firm do we think has bought this domain (someone surely?) Paging the search oracle @rustybrick.com because I'm betting one of them has acquired this and I'm an SEO conspiracist It would make a good ai chat brand afterall Surprised they didn't pivot to an AI ask tool

These spam domains took less than 48hrs to go from zero to top rank with a canonical chain from penalised sites Google took only 1 week to respond to Press Gazette about a similar exploit in Discover @methode.bsky.social Organic SERPs have been hacked, EXPLOITED and yet, nothing, SILENCE Why?

Hey @johnmu.com silly question.... but if I request indexing in GSC and then make a change an hour later or so, is it likely that the fresh indexing has happened already, so my new edits won't be included? I appreciate the crawler will eventually pick it up, but is there a window for GSC requests

New domain black hatting its way to the top of HUGE keywords in 1 day. Canonical tag exploit, expired domains etc @divingfor.fun @methode.bsky.social @johnmu.com This has gone on for 18 months now We just want an open dialogue (in private) from someone who can give some kind of acknowledgement?

Hey @johnmu.com hypothetically speaking. If a site has a link penalty are the outbound links from that site devalued? Or do they have the ability to pass on poor signals.. ie bad neighbours?

Dropped domain, pumped with shit links, canonicalized to a new .uk.com so the owners can impersonate a brand. Google... Here you go, have all the rankings you need, come though the back door and bypass all the spam detection.

I work in iGaming affiliate space. A place where "building good content" returns nothing. Instead you get wrongly outranked by your partner brands, while spam is allowed to FREELY destroy the integrity of the entire industry The red patches are all wrong results drive.google.com/file/d/1SG_-...

Hey @johnmu.com can a good link turn bad? Client has a link on a site that's been spammed with links. The host site is struggling. We all agree links are the problem If a backlink on that site was good yet Google spam algorithms are punishing the site, does it devalue the link? i.e Bad Company?
