It's my understanding that link spamming has become counter-productive since a Google algorithm update almost a decade ago? I'm not sure what they're doing but I don't think it's link spam, because of that and also because I've never seen their spam anywhere (if they're using link spam they must do so on sources that have good "authority" for programming-related topics and thus one of us would've likely seen it).
- techdragon 4y agoIt’s often cheap blog spam “original content“ and matching cheap social media spam to increase how legitimate the blog looks … which is cheaper than ever now thanks to advances in machine learning models like GPT-3 and other current generation models. The pipeline is take a random sample of pages in the domain, take the target page -> summarise -> generate some blog spam of varying length and level of human input -> if desired based on social media analytics then generate some automated social posts about the blog article that was just added since it’s widely done by real humans with their real blogs it all looks legit. This is how it gets done and Google used to be brutal about crushing it, somewhere along the way they seem to have given up on being so brutal.
