Insightful. Have you seen some legitimate websites going down that are not into the practices mentioned in the video? Many people complaining that after Dec 2024 spam update, more spammy websites surging.

Is it possible for noindex pages to harm the overall credibility of the site and cause ranking drops for other pages due to thin content or scaled content?

For that scaled content case 2, did they also scale the number of pages on the site? or just the query targets (paa content) in each so called article?

If I post content on my site that is only targeted to Pinterest and I don't index it in Google, is that harmful to that site and other sites linked in GSC?
