Reply To: Google nuked my parasite pages again

Kind of feels like yeah, this is exactly why I stopped pretending there’s some clean “fix” for it. Once Google decides a parasite page looks like the usual junk, it’s basically over unless the host has enough trust to drag it back up. And half the time it’s not even the page itself — it’s the whole pattern around it. Same template, same link scheme, same host, same footprint… they’re not dumb. The “just make better content” line is such lazy garbage in these threads. Like, cool man, let me write a Pulitzer piece on a parasite page and see if Google suddenly develops a soul. I’ve seen a few come back after changing the host/path and spacing things out more, but honestly it’s usually temporary. If the site’s already in that bad bucket, you’re fighting classification, not content quality. That’s the part people keep missing. That’s been my experience anyway.
