This is a very well understood and existing market for PR agencies utilizing blackhat SEO. Overrun legitimate but negative stories with shady backlinks to get Google to penalize them. Simultaneously create fake websites, awards, profiles, news etc and flood search results with more positive things. Most people I see selling this do so for 5k to 10k per month.
- cookiecaper 7y agoYes, SEO is still big business, and it's big business because it's effective. For any term that has even minor commercial relevance, you've generally gotta dig into at least the 3rd or 4th page before you start to see real results. Google has been successfully gamed essentially for its entire history. The fact that so many technical people believe the propaganda like "SEO doesn't work anymore" just shows how disconnected and gullible they are. And if technical people are naively Googling away, how much hope does that leave for your average citizen?
