Challenge
profxportal.com is an author's blog about trading and forex for beginners: quotes, calculators, broker reviews. Finance is one of the most competitive niches: the SERP is held by large portals and brokers themselves. The site already had DR 41, but the promoted pages averaged position 11 and search clicks were rare.
What was done
Five cascades: two in December 2025, two on 9 June 2026 (the quotes page and the Martingale calculator) and one on 1 October 2026 (the brokers page). The report covers the last three: 15 tier-1 articles on third-party platforms linking to the target pages, 110 tier-2 publications and 14,756 crowd placements across 281 platforms; 28 publications confirmed in Google's index.
Result
A mixed result, shown as it is. Search Console for the promoted pages, 28 days before the June cascades → last 28 days: clicks 12 → 38, while impressions went 3,885 → 3,006 (−23%) and the average position 11.3 → 17.4. Ahrefs DR stayed at 41 throughout. The click growth came at the end of September; the 1 October cascade is too recent to judge.
