Techwalla was an absolutely top-tier garbage website.
I consistently found it when search for General tech stuff, and I literally never clicked on it. It was always something useless.
Fuck Techwalla
Techwalla really do sucks, I remember it too. Also remember bdteletak, so much so that I even analyzed it a couple of years ago and instantly noticed that it was a “high authority” expired domain someone picked up and started trying to rank it for every possible keyword under the sun.
I think Google fixed the authority thing.
many says authority doesn't matter now.
Sorry but this couldnt be further from the truth. PAgeRank is fundamental to the working of SEO (Google SEO Starter Guide, 2024). The sites that linked to these domains that the owners claim "they earned" after the ranked are also mostly gone.
Authority *must* be earned. Theres literally no other way to do it - Bing just reverse engineered Google's PageRank. AI "search" engines run on Google - like perplexity literally just cites the top 3-5 domains for anything you type in that it gets from Google.....
I don’t what you’re talking about, but you’re right. I was talking about people using expired domains with lots of good links to game the system, there are still many spam sites out there raking in the traffic with that tactic. Not gonna out them here though.
Edit: Just realized you were talking to akshay. Also, why did the post get removed?
