There are certain niches whose promotion is limited or prohibited in search engines such as Yandex and Google. According to the rules, topics related to “delivery of alcoholic beverages,” “distribution of tobacco products,” “gambling” (for example, online casinos and slot machines), as well as content for adults (18+) are not subject to promotion. In addition, there are topics with restrictions, for example, in the field of medicine or finance, where the audience is limited and is not always accessible to a wide range of users.
What to do if you find yourself in one of these niches? First, it is important to carefully evaluate whether it is worth investing in search engine optimization at all in such a situation. Since search robots can block your site within a few weeks, it is worth looking for alternative ways to attract customers. One option is to create a physical representative office in the offline space. In this case, you can post information about your business, but it will be difficult to promote a site or profile with prohibited content. Another way is to eliminate all prohibited elements from the content and focus on the permitted parts. This option may seem trivial, but sometimes it can work. Another option is to target audiences outside of Russia, if it is possible to arrange logistics. Even if a site is blocked in Russia, it may be available in other countries.
There are other methods that experienced marketers use to promote in gray niches. Technologies such as cloaking, crowd marketing, traffic arbitrage and bulk link campaigns allow you to increase traffic and hide information from search engines to avoid blocking.
To the untrained person, such terms may seem mysterious, but for those who work in the field of SEO, these are common tools that are used to manipulate traffic. These methods are often not recommended as they violate the principles of fair promotion. However, they can also be useful in “white” niches, for example, for testing hypotheses or adjusting analytics. However, it is important to understand that such approaches must be used carefully and cannot replace a full-fledged promotion strategy. In our practice, we always condemn the use of these practices and, if necessary, disclose them in audits to protect our clients from unethical practices. We actively work to educate advertisers and ensure fair promotion.
