Spotted in the index: a 60-site network that bought 9 months of rankings, then vanished

Multiple profiles show the same fingerprint. An iGaming affiliate stacked ~410 links from roughly 60 referring domains — all expired-domain rebuilds, all hosting 4-6 outbound money links each, all on three shared IP ranges.

The climb was real: top-5 for two casino keywords inside four months, traffic estimate north of 90K/mo at peak.

Then the footprint collapsed. Across one six-week stretch their referring domains dropped from 60 to 19 — the network sites either deindexed or got disavowed off other clients. Estimated traffic cratered ~85%.

The giveaway anyone could've read in Majestic: Trust Flow sat at 8 while Citation Flow hit 41. That 5:1 gap screams manufactured volume with no real trust behind it.

Rented rankings, not owned. The eviction notice was always coming. Watch this space.
