I snickered at the emphasis on quality. Ahrefs web scraper reacted very poorly to randomly generated "content": https://github.com/bediger4000/infinite-fake-website

SEO is best avoided. It might not be illegal, but neither is farting in church. They'll both never be popular.

It's interesting that Ahref stopped using affiliate marketing and they have a strong opinion about (https://ahrefs.com/blog/ahrefs-affiliate-program/).

Others do agree with it?
