Google Just Nuked Some Big Names from Search
Is This the End of Parasite SEO?
Let’s talk about the latest search drama.
Google just dropped the hammer on some big players in the game — names you’d never think could get the boot:
- Forbes Advisor
- CNN Underscored
- WSJ Buyside
Yep, gone from the index. Poof. And if you’re wondering, “What the heck does that even mean?” let me break it down for you, bro-style.
Why This Is HUGE
When Google de-indexes a site, it’s like wiping its existence off the search map. No clicks, no traffic, no ad revenue — zip.
These sites were built on “Parasite SEO,” a strategy where major platforms piggyback on smaller blogs to pump out content and dominate rankings.
But clearly, the Big G isn’t having it anymore.
Hundreds of jobs might be on the line here. Teams of writers, editors, and SEO specialists could be facing the axe.
Harsh? Totally. But hey, you can’t build a castle on shaky ground and expect it to stand forever.
