An SEO "Heist" Gone Wrong + $13 Million "Weird" Niche Site

What happens when you "steal" a competitors keywords and then brag about it on Twitter?

Well, not good things.

I'll get to that story in a second, but first I want to share an early Christmas gift with you!

You see, I've decided to run a special offer on Link Whisper...and it's essentially $45 off right here!

So, here's the deal.

Link Whisper is the #1 internal linking plugin on the planet.

We got there by adding TONS of new features over the last couple of years...but we've never raised prices in about 4 years.

The time has come on Jan. 1st, 2024, I'm raising prices by $20.

However, before those increased prices take effect, I've decided to offer an end of year sale of $25 off the current price!

In other words, if you decide to get Link Whisper today, you can get it for $45 off what the price will be on Jan. 1!

Go ahead and improve your internal link building with Link Whisper at the lowest price it will ever by in the future.


An SEO "Heist" Gone Wrong

A couple of weeks ago, you may have seen a tweet that went semi-viral about "stealing" traffic from a competitor. An SEO heist if you will.

Here's the original tweet:

The only problem with bragging about all this success?

Well, it got the attention from someone at Google.

Jake confirmed this week that his site got slapped with a MANUAL Google penalty for "copied content" and his traffic has absolutely tanked.

Tons of lessons to be learned from this, and Jared and I talk at length about this situation on today's episode of the This Week in Niche Pursuits News right here.

Also on today's episode, we share a "weird" niche site that is making $13 million a year!

This Christmas themed website helps people organize secret Santa gift exchanges and recommends gift ideas.

That's right Elfster.com is making a whopping $13 million a year (according to Google resources).

Listen in to today's Niche Pursuits News episode and find out how much money Jared and I are making from the Amazon Influencer Program, more SEO news, and another weird niche site.

Thanks again for reading, and I hope you have a great Christmas!

Spencer
