I checked my competitors, and they were experiencing the same thing. All i-gaming pages in Indonesia disappeared from brand keyword rankings, even the biggest ones.

Recently, I have been using the method: aged domain then inserting the landing page into a sub directory using an e-commerce template then using alternates to the subdomain or to pages.dev and others. but it no longer works, a day ago all the pages were 90% gone

'aged domain' is a no-go tactic. it only works when the domain has a very solid track record matching your current content, otherwise, waste of time and money.

So what's your suggestion? Buy an EMD/PMD domain and then use WordPress to keep the site active? Because in Indonesia, no one plays that way for rankings. Everyone does the instant method, like buying an aged domain and then creating a landing page.

It might have worked at one time, but there are no shortcuts these days.

No, believe it or not, it's a DMCA takedown. Since March, he has had 1,414 results for DMCA notices on Lumen. The latest sender is the 'Government from Indonesian', how official.

I see you got your answer from the Google Community Forums, Joyroft. Some bad actors have been ramping up these attacks to take down competitors or corner thinner SERPs.

Tidak, percaya atau tidak, ini adalah penghapusan DMCA. Sejak Maret, dia telah mendapatkan 1.414 hasil pencarian untuk pemberitahuan DMCA di Lumen. Pengirim terbaru adalah 'Pemerintah dari Indonesia', sungguh tidak resmi.

Sepertinya Anda sudah mendapatkan jawabannya dari Forum Komunitas Google, Joyroft. Beberapa oknum jahat telah meningkatkan serangan ini untuk menjatuhkan pesaing atau memonopoli peringkat SERP yang lebih rendah.

Itulah salah satu masalah dengan domain saya. Saya sudah mengajukan banding ke Google, tetapi Google menanggapi dengan tidak mengambil tindakan terhadap URL tersebut. Sementara itu, 90% halaman arahan i-gaming di Indonesia telah menghilang begitu saja. Apakah ada yang punya solusi?

That's one of the issues with my domain. I've appealed to Google, but Google hasn't taken any action on the URL. Meanwhile, 90% of i-gaming landing pages in Indonesia have simply disappeared. Does anyone have a solution?

GSC will not always notify you when action is taken. I'm not sure what the exact cause of your issue is, but a domain with that many complaints in such a short period is indicative of a DMCA takedown.

I'm unfamiliar with Indonesian iGaming, so I don't know much about it. Perhaps someone who is familiar with it could shed some light on it.
