Search engines considered each hyperlink as one vote. Back when PageRank first started, it did not matter whether the content around the link was relevant, artificially created, or stuffed in the footer because every link from an even marginally authoritative site passed some \u2018link juice\u2019 to the destination site.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This revolution poses a gigantic challenge and unparalleled opportunities for restricted industries, adult ecommerce stores, and digital brands. Restricted industries have traditionally lived in the world of a messy link landscape filled with Private Blog Networks (PBNs), spam automation, and manipulations with exact match anchors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, in the era of AI, following the old-school approaches means committing domain suicide.
