Let AI do it and you'll come out a gay transgender black lesbian George Washington.

Only you can decide if that's an improvement or not. :1orglaugh

just to let you know, what can some false dmca do to your site ... there is some bitch that is doing this to his comeptitors, i think i already know, but i will never step to this kind of "strategy", if i dont know better i am going to kill the competitors. and google happily helping with it ... karma works, and i hope this guy will end up on wheelchair ... :2 cents:

https://storage.googleapis.com/suppo...4623531745.png

just check the dates ... the dmca screenshot is only part, in total the site received like 800+ false dmca in next two weeks or so ... btw, every single counter to the dmca's have been won, but the site never got back ... google support confirmed, that it is bad, as they said, but it is how the algo works now ... so, congrats google, on helping thieves and bitches and hard working people have eyes to cry or have to do the same shit and waste your time ... shit! :2 cents:

But if I type in SwingMyWife.com (like that) the SERPs appear normal to me. I am not using a VPN tho so my results are probably skewered. :(

"Swing My Wife" is broad. Your brand is pretty tiny (no disrespect, it just is), so it makes more sense to me that Google may show videos about swinging or whatever on Youtube instead of your site.

You also only have 12 referring domains, most of which are absolute shit links, to your site with that anchor. If you care about this, then you need to fortify your brand name. Build some links to your site with that anchor from quality places. Hit up Ravo - he has a few pubs with sites similar to that niche. :thumbsup

Yeah maybe, but I'm noticing the same issue with larger brands.

When I type in the exact name of my site, and there is no mistaking it for anything else, I get mainstream results.

Sorry that happened. I must suck big time. Google is a slave to the monster algo they created now. They need a better DMCA process in place. If it were to start happening to the bigger sites that google loves then they would likely change the DMCA process they have in place. Remember how people were afraid of negative SEO? Google said don't worry but then big SEO sites started testing and found that negative SEO was a thing. So then they created the disavow tool :)

Yes that is a tiny site but it is the same with my larger sites. Type in the .com and you find it but not when you type in the site name itself. I doubt more backlinks would make a difference in the current atmosphere.

Google probably doesn't consider those sites a brand, so instead random ass shit shows up. Same solution.

Course they will. Think about it. Suppose I've never heard of your site. Yeah I know it's incomprehensible to you but just suppose. If I search for "swing my wife" what am I searching for? Not your site, because I've never heard of it. So that's what Google shows me, results that are not your site.

Yep. Pretty much.

And without any signals to Google about it, it'll continue to be that way. The obvious solution is to complain on GFY rather than doing the work, though. :thumbsup

there are a few companies that have been discussed here that are wreaking havoc on legit sites with legitimate use to content (affiliate material, cam embeds, hell some companies even get DMCAs on their own content!)

Rulta, DMCA Piracy Protection (formerly BrandItScan), Cam Model Protection...there's a bunch of them

basically they use bots to scan for names of their clients, and auto-issue DMCAs without anyone even checking to see how the content is being used and by whom


even names completely out of context get DMCA'ed. a few months back I remember reading that NASA got DMCA'ed by DMCA Piracy Protection cuz they were launching the Artemis 2 spaceship and the company represented a performer who used the name Artemis. you really can't make this ish up


apparently some of these DMCA companies, when contacted about flagrantly fraudulent conduct, say "hey, no problem, we'll whitelist you"

so every affiliate or studio needs to send a whole long list of companies all their sites, just to be left alone?

it's gotten really out of hand, and in a lot of cases it's the DMCA companies and NOT the performers that are at fault. with these co's, one could argue (I do), that performers who pay for these bullshit services are getting ripped off too. costs them money and damages their reputations in the process


I don't even know how badly DMCAs are used against competitors these days, it seems to be a few companies representing performers/creators that are causing most of the damage in adult

a few major site network owners got so fed up they posted an open letter located here

wondering if back in 2022, and currently if still an issue, who the DMCAs were/are filed by?

Its not as simple as that dude. There are thousands of links from tubes for that site so people have heard of it (just judging by the millions of views on tubes). Not saying it is a huge site at all but it is not anonymous.

But that is just one example. I have much larger sites with the same issues. Also it is not just me (see above).

Stop carrying water for Big G. If I/we could fix/stop this we would. Getting backlinks IS important. My point was that with all this flucuation, and with Google SEO experts having trouble and being confused, how should a small webmaster navigate this issue?

camdomains 03-17-2024 06:13 PM

Seems to do with old domains, i have a recently developed mainstream domain that was indexed well and recently went black.. what i see in GSC is that while its not an old domain, google seems to think its 10 years old all of a sudden and while it shows results for domain.com in a search, the word itself and all other pages dont appear.

I guessing they are blocking because of this wayback misinterpretation as you have talked about in this thread

thank you for the answer. i mean, all the dmcas came from "on behalf of twitter" or "on behalf of instragram" ... some anynoymous bitches shutting my pages down because some "bitch on instagram" owns contant on brazzers ... just a great strategy but those guys will end up on wheelchair or in jail with some great male male content ...

most welcome, and good luck! this ish is infuriating, and yes these companies are profitting off illegal conduct. submitting fraudulent DMCAs is perjury

the companies that use bots to scan the net for any mention of their client's performer name are 100% to blame. and the more their bots find, the more they can say 'look, see how thorough we're being?". then upselling the performer client on larger DMCA service packages. more money for them, and everyone else gets screwed

in asking who about submitter of the DMCAs, I wasn't asking what the 'original URLs' are, which yeah are usually insta, OF, twitter, etc, but rather who sent the DMCAs to google. usually it's 'company x' on behalf of 'performer name'

the sender usually isn't the performer herself, and most have no idea how exploitative these so-called 'services' are

was just curious as to what companies have been hitting you

granted my post above was kinda long (I tend to do that), but had you read it, you'd see I mentioned several of the most notorious, plus also a link to legit companies that are fighting back on receiving DMCAs for content they produced themselves

I hate piracy. not even just in theory but as a performer myself. I do dabble in aff stuff but always use my own creatives with my own content so I've never been hit by what's being going down. but it IS happening


real pirates and thieves, of course hit the fuck out of them with DMCAs and light their houses on fire


what I'm saying is, imagine you, as a producer, getting DMCAed for stuff you filmed, produced, had paid the performer for. same for any of your affiliates using legit sponsor content provided by your aff program. craziness right?

the DMCA companies I mentioned plus a whole bunch more are to blame for doing that

Google's cracking down on crappy AI mass produced sites

They also are slamming PBN link-powered sites

Talk about a double whammy

But this is just the beginning. I suspect the age of mass AI content sites is over...

Ironic since Google's current list based layout will be soon replaced by a ChatGPT "One Answer" type layout

Say goodbye to most of your traffic when that happens

Very possible but in this case they would need to rethink all their business model and that would be very risky for them (Alphabet stock), Google is not that tiny startup anymore.

the DMCA companies I mentioned plus a whole bunch more are to blame for doing that

I did read and just now again... The letter by the three companies?

Yanks have over 100 pages of amateur content. Probably legit but I am sure of the 100's of models some do not want to be shared. Until I know if it is 100 % internally produced content I will leave this issue be.

Ditto with Grooby, albeit they have models from all over the World .... Many, many sites and models. Again I am not sure.

Stunner " manages" 100's of sites and many more affiliates.... so ditto on them.

I call these aggregators of content, which is generally user generated, and hence is the problem. The line between enforcing legit sources from those which are dodgy when you have 1000's of videos is the issue...

DMCA ing NASA is indeed funny.

My point is as follows: Website which produces and sells 100% of its own content ( incl. you) will never get DMCA'd. Such sites ( mine included) lives of the sales of its own content and only gives affiliates, tubes and the like short clips to entice potential customers. Sites which aggregate 1000's of videos and shares them with 1000's of affiliates are to me like a plague. Maybe it is a trend, where people live from clicks and add money. But to me, a real content creator, these "recyclers" of the same shit over 1000's of sites needs to disappear, and if DMCA helps it so be it.

The problem cannot be fixed at the moment, not by me or by any webmaster or SEO expert. So I doubt you, the great traffic magician, could do any better.

Whatever, I do not rely on Google traffic that much anyway. But for those who do it is a total shit show and there is no 'fixing it'. At least not right now.

It's insane to me that you speak so dogmatically about a topic you very clearly know zero about. I cannot imagine being this dense when someone literally gave you a solution to your problem.

celandina 03-21-2024 03:50 AM

Just checked Google search.... Have not done it in years :(

When I typed in 3 or 4 of my keywords our site was always on page 1, sometimes on top of page 2...

Did that today ( using the same keywords) ....our movies ( by name) still fills page 1, but the sites listing the movies are mostly pirates, tubes and the like, but our website is nowhere to be found :mad:

also, did Google dropped everything past page 1? I do not see page 2 etc....:helpme

It's a good thing the AI update removed your site from page 1, even though you had no AI.

Or maybe putting pirates on page 1 was part of the Helpful Content Update.

It doesn't matter, I'm sure Google is always right.

I am doing the basic SEO suggested and it will not help while this flux is happening. I am not dense. But I look at other webmasters posting in this thread and see they are having the same issues. So why jump on me? I am not an SEO expert and I do not rely exclusively on Big G traffic.

I've noticed in many forums, that the people who seem to be the most judgemental and know-it-all types, never really offer practical, detailed solutions. They simply want to get mad and direct it somewhere, rather than have a discussion.

I never said he wasn't knowledgeable. In fact, that's why I mentioned maybe he could do something. I respect those who have experience and can teach me something. But this advice, worthy as it is, takes time:

I cannot snap my fingers and create backlinks. As for buying them I have done that in the past and it did help with rankings. But for the site in question (Swing My Wife) that is a smaller site so even if it sat on Page 1 at the top it would still be a small brand. I mentioned it as a broad example (pun intended) for what is happening with Google right now.

(Priority #1 would be a re-design of that site, which is underway as we speak.)

Anyway, Google is fucked is the whole point of this thread. LOL

I've been reading a lot of SEO forums lately so what I said didn't solely apply to Trev. What I think Trev was doing was ignoring data. There are big brands that no longer show up for their names being searched. Brands with millions of backlinks. Some of my sites have links built up over decades, and they were a brand before. Suddenly they are not?

Some site names are so unique they can't be mistaken for anything else, and for years "G" had them listed first in the results. Suddenly they are not ? Google thought it was a brand yesterday but now it doesn't?

I'm simply saying that it feels like he's (and others here) are too strongly defending big "G" and the thread becomes more of a dominance thing rather than a discussion where there is possibility for both parties to be right about something and also wrong about some things.

Maybe people's site's need work ... AND ... maybe Google is messing up.

Yes this was my point as well. Others who do the hard work of daily working on their SEO, rankings etc are experiencing these bad times. So what chance does a small site/brand like mine have when I see, as you mentioned, huge sites with lots of backlinks suddenly not showing up.

So I think what you say at the end of your post may be true: both things are happening (sites need work/Google messing up).

We webmasters should learn to get along since stuff like this affects all of us, and it's porn against the world sometimes. :)

Suddenly they are not?

Some site names are so unique they can't be mistaken for anything else, and for years "G" had them listed first in the results. Suddenly they are not ? Google thought it was a brand yesterday but now it doesn't?

I'm simply saying that it feels like he's (and others here) are too strongly defending big "G" and the thread becomes more of a dominance thing rather than a discussion where there is possibility for both parties to be right about something and also wrong about some things.

Maybe people's site's need work ... AND ... maybe Google is messing up.

That's not really the issue I saw with Swing My Wife.

But what you described happens A LOT during a core update in my experience. It's happened to me before but it always fixed itself. I didn't have that on any of my sites in the last 5-6 updates, though.

Trev knows his stuff, and yea sure his tone might not be everyone's cup of tea, it's also that kick in the ass some people need to change for the better.

Re-read that last part again, Trev wants you to change for the better.
