Techopedia

Just noticed this- they've reacted to their (presumably) site reputation abuse penalty back at the end of last year by just removing all the non-gambling content. Seem to be on the way back up.

There was a recent update to the google policy as reported on Seoroundtable a few days ago: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-...icy-39027.html - it looks like simply removing the content works as you say.

... and publishing Adsense along with explicit casino content. Always thought thats against some rules?

I don't know what Techopedia was before it was a gambling affiliate - was it just tech articles? But clearly it has far more value as a gambling affiliate. Wonder if any other high authority domains will see the opportunity and simply change direction and lose other cont

Elsewhere I also notice RevPanda - Malta-based marketing agency - have added a B2C / B2B toggle at the top of their site and now have affiliate content under B2C - its absolutely flying. - hxxps://revpanda _.com/online-casinos/. To be fair the content is very good but the speed at which its growing has to be down to the domain strength.

Sigma Play is another (imo) questionable example.

Yeah that one definitely isn't as slick. Still, looks like its taking off. No doubt will be a nice earner. These guys are getting started too: hxxps://casinobeats _.com/online-casinos/.

Links obfuscated, instead of helping them get pertinent links.

Techopedia used to be a site that wrote about tech issues, servers and software and a number of other related things.

Here is part of their older company profile bits.

Techopedia is a technology portal which publishes articles and news about enterprise, hardware, software, IT business, networking, security, and software. Organizes regular webinars about various tech topics. Provides deals with partner sites, as a revenue source.

Not sure if they possibly kept their adsense based on old content or not, but the site has been around since at least 2011 which is what the profile I found was dated.

I used to see them in results at times when researching tech stuff but don't think it has been that for a while.

What works for one site doesn't necessarily work for another, but I'm glad this strategy has helped the site regain its position.
