Googled killed my $1,000/mo blog. Why shouldn't I just sell backlinks?

Like the title says, I had a blog I started (tech/travel/culture space) that I built up for 18 months, with like 60 articles. It was as making steady $1,000 a month (almost all from Amazon Associates from 2-3 articles), but then it got smacked in one of the Google Updates half a year ago and lost 90% of traffic overnight.

It makes about $10 a month now, if that, and has stayed that way for 6 months since the google update.

My thought is that if this site will never recover, I don't really mind trashing it's signals to google, so why shouldn't I just go on Fiverr and sell backlinks to make $20 a pop or something?

Just curious if anyone's been in a similar situation and tried this out, or if there's anything I'm overlooking/underthinking.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
