Does the "10-Minute SEO Fix" actually work, or will it destroy your rankings? In this video, I debunk a viral SEO strategy recently promoted by a famous YouTuber. They claim you can rank number one by simply cloning a dead page, making minor edits, and 301 redirecting the old URL to the new one.
It sounds like the perfect loophole—passing "link juice" to a "fresh" page to fool Google. But as I explain in this video, this tactic is extremely risky.
I break down exactly why this method is considered spamdexing by Google, how it triggers algorithmic penalties, and why it usually only works for News sites (and not for you). If you care about the long-term health of your website, you need to watch this before you try this "hack."
