The problem
A partial match had wiped the bonus-code money pages out of the top 20 across all four English-language markets. Eleven years of link equity, a large share of it acquired from networks that no longer existed, and no record of what had been built when.
What we did
- Rebuilt the historic link graph from four data sources and categorised all 3,180 referring domains by risk
- Disavowed 640 domains and secured 210 manual removals before filing for reconsideration
- Re-architected the bonus-code templates to separate market intent and kill cross-market cannibalisation
- Replaced the lost equity with 612 vetted editorial placements over nine months
