Good example is pcguide.com. It got turned into spam linkfarm on ~25 February 2019. Prior to that it was a treasure trove of old timey DOS/BIOS/PC Hardware information frozen in time in 2001. Google was usually returning it at the top of results for relevant questions. Example content https://web.archive.org/web/20190127153310/http://www.pcguide.com:80/ref/hdd/bios/sizeMB504-c.html https://web.archive.org/web/20190127153310/http://www.pcguid... Then someone in 2019 bought this property just for a domain with great google rank, and turned it to typical stolen content referrer scam SEO garbage dump. Testing now by searching for typical garbage query "Best AI website builders in 2024" still returns it on first/second page, once again google talks but fails to deliver.
