yep, that's the exact reddit thread linked in the article.

the first comment has probably made $10,000+ in commissions. probably more.

This isn't anything new.

In fact, SEO strategies relied on these tactics for as long as I can remember.

deadcoder0904OP1y ago

yeah. any examples of those? how it used to be done?

because google only started promoting ugc sites since its last update on September 2023.

I've been blogging for years. SEO has always been done this way. I'm sure if you search for pre 2023 SEO articles, you'll find plenty of information describing exactly what this article talks about. It's a way to build backlinks, increase your sites authority score, and get more traffic.

>because google only started promoting ugc sites since its last update on September 2023.

Yeah, but these aren't new SEO strategies.

This isn't "exposing" anything. It's promoting link spam techniques.

deadcoder0904OP1y ago

lol, where is it promoting link spam techniques?

and if you know seo, you'll realise most of seo is blackhat only.

seo as a whole depends on gaming google with more backlinks & more outreaches.

link spam techniques are done because they work.
