Can't you do the same they do? Obviously not about the contents, I believe you when you say yours is so much better, but about the SEO. Isn't it possible to imitate their tactics to a certain extent, without getting equally trashy?

I mean, yeah we try to score the free SEO wins already (see page titles: UPDATED 2023) but at this point we make enough to pay our small staff and I'm fine working for free on it. I think SEO and quality are basically inversely correlated and if you try to chase SEO you will only create dogshit and have to get lucky with stupid journalists.

That's really unfortunate. Best of luck!

I visited the site. It has pages of facts about bands and artists.. you might even call them profiles...

It also has a forum with a community. I really this as you being frustrated by the competition rather than them doing something nefarious.

Who said anything about nefarious? Struggling with reading comprehension? It's about quality.

Every reply you make makes you look worse. No one cares (i.e. google, kprofiles, journalists, kpop fans) about what you think is "quality" or not.
