OMG Is He Serious?!
Earlier today I saw this story and was just like omg, why?
The tl;dr is the guy was running the biggest menās lifestyle site in Australia, got hit by HCU, and has been trying to recover ever since and heās spent over $200K trying. It didnāt work.
I hope you click above and read the article because thereās some fascinating stuff there.
Like the rates some of these agency SEOs charge. I literally LOLed.
But for reals, I was also like, damn I need to charge more.
Also interesting to see all the things he tried.
Real talk - why didnāt he just try a new domain without 301ing. Or hell, even with 301ing.
Anyways, I wonāt spoil it for you, so go give it a read.
