The price they quoted for single press release was $350 which includes links to my CTA offer disguised as a <strong>press release<\/strong> instead of advertorial. This seem to be cool offer. When I checked Google SERP I&#8217;ve found many affiliates have started using &#8220;GlobeNewswire&#8221; site to publish CTA offer as press release. That included offers related to pharma, dating, software and app downloading, xgaming, loan, etc. As Reddit, Quora and Medium are not highly ranking in Google now-a-days, the affiliates have turned to press release sites. You&#8217;ll find even Yahoo Finance and ActiveNewswire highly ranking for CTA terms and keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think? Will next Google Core Update penalize thesee press release site in same way just like what Google did to Forbes and CNN pages which were promoting gambling and CBD offers.<\/p><div class='code-block code-block-9' style='margin: 8px auto 8px 0; text-align: left; display: block; clear: both;'>\n<!-- OnlHeaderResponsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5339207343588395\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9406207027\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n<!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seems GlobeNewswire is used as parasite to rank affiliate offers and CTA disguised press release Recently like many reddit users I too was contacted by&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kb_optimizer_status":0,"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[396,163,246,166,392],"class_list":["post-5480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-forum","tag-affiliate","tag-google","tag-marketing","tag-seo","tag-spam"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5480\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/the-online.com\/hosting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
