Or have they locked out their competitors from destroying the open web?

The Ryobi one is OK. Fine for pruning bushes and small branches.

Plus you can access the other tool range, I had to get the circular saw out on a thick branch once!!!

#TLD Disavows - VERY risky indeed

domain:online
domain:xyz
domain:info
domain:asia
domain:site
domain:space
domain:website

Definitely for rare advanced use cases! BUT I believe I might be one of those. My credibility gets trashed when I challenge this topic. Even though I am sure Google eventually ignores links, I do think there's an issue with timing, & links sometimes incur a temporary penalty until eventually ignored

I've been doing SEO for 20 years. I'm not that reckless that I'd go round trolling high profile SEOs with crappy theories. My clients site and others around it are getting absolutely hammered by hundreds of thousands of telegram link sellers and I can assure you, they're destroying SERPs & sites.

The peaks and troughs are the endless battle against thousands of spam links, using nothing more than a disavow to recover each time

There are safe niches where John's advice applies and there are not safe niches where people need to test and make up their own minds

Holdup...

The whole TLD as in we can just disavow .xyz

Absolutely not advising anyone blanket disavow a TLD, but that's an option???

Would you guys class language sitemaps in the same context? I know for sure my site struggled with head only hreflang tags - but as soon as I coded up a sitemap for the associated variants the impressions and international visibility soared

I think for me freemium makes most sense in this era... people need a minimum amount of "always on" free content to warrant the exchange of your app sitting on my device. So yes, remove ads for a fee or keep some unique upgradeable content behind a paywall

Common place in my niche... thanks for replying! 👌

My SERPs are a mess. Like an absolute shambles of illegal spam sites. Literal illegal content

7 expired & recently recycled domains, 1 canonical tag abuse to a brand new EMD and 2 AWS URLs outrank 15 year old sites in this space, payday loans levels

Sounds like underlying quality issues with the pages, quite often changing stuff on the page triggers a recrawl.

We had old pages that got linked spammed, the pages only dropped when we altered a small section of the page HTML, thus forcing a recrawl and IMO we got reranked and downgraded

If you don't want to be listed in the plagiarism melting pot that is AI Overviews, where you have a one in a million chance of getting traffic, you can opt out and have zero chance of getting traffic

100% convert to markdown... just ignore the fact that engineers have been building crawlers to parse HTML since 1993

We'll just assume all bots were secretly longing for markdown and all this HTML nonsense was a massive inconvenience to them, but they were just too polite to tell EVERYONE

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

It actually worked

Imagine you put 5 years worth of work into your own project and you get outranked by some offshore prick who has bought an expired domain and pumped it so full of shit juice it can outrank you within a matter of days of going live

Where are the goddam spam filters @methode.bsky.social
