Ran a clickbait site, and got flagged for using a bunch of 302 redirects instead of 301s. Went from almost 500k uniques a month to 1k.

During the appeal it was reviewed from India, and I had been using geoblocking. This caused my appeal to be denied.

I ended up deploying to a new domain and starting over.

Never caught back up.

Congrats on this great choice of business endeavor
