Reply To: Google nuked my parasite pages again

Yeah, same here. Once it gets hit with that “this is typically junk” classification, it’s like Google just stops caring and the page gets shoved into the basement. I’ve seen pages go from indexed to basically dead after a re-crawl, and it wasn’t some magical content quality fix that brought them back. Usually it was footprint stuff, host trust, link pattern, or just the page looking too much like the last 500 parasite pages they’ve already burned. Honestly the “make better content” crowd is useless in threads like this. They always act like Google’s still rewarding pages on merit alone when half the time it’s just a classification problem and the page is toast. If anything, I’d be watching logs and seeing whether it’s even getting crawled properly before assuming it’s an indexing issue. A lot of these aren’t really “deindexed” so much as they’re just getting deprioritized into nothing. Big difference.
