FAQ Schema isn't supported by Google Anymore. Hasn't for a while now. Meta description tags are read up to 300 characters... there's quite a bit of issues here that are outdated. But overall it's a decent overview.
Are you 100 percent certain that the domain name wasn't registered before and then got on the blacklist because of prior misuse?
It's quite possible that the domain you chose was registered previously and dropped because the previous owner misused it and burned that domain. The .ONLINE extension has been around for several years now.

I read this as: ads have been great, and have helped to pay all content creators (even the small creators). But now, Answer Engines need certain content that's missing: and it's the largest content creators that are making deals with the Answer Engines.
What CF didn't address is how the smallest content creators are going to be "making deals" with the Answer Engines. They aren't.
One of my degrees in college was in Technical Writing, back in the early 1990s. I've always used em dashes when writing--it only make sense in many cases. And I still use them regularly, just typing two hyphens, one after the other.
Classic SERP sculpting in action. Bury the bad with a flood of the old — and watch Google prioritize what’s “fresh” by post date, not relevance. Neil Patel may be under fire from FTX for $55M in alleged marketing vaporware, but it looks like the real campaign was reputation laundering by content saturation. SEO rule #1: If you can’t clean it up, outrank it.
This suggests the attackers used a double extortion strategy: not only locking files with encryption but also stealing sensitive data to pressure victims into paying a ransom.
I graduated college in the early 1990s and minored in technical writing. I started the first "Student Society of STC" back in college, and that lead to some good internships and a few jobs. Wrote software manuals and online help for an email software company that ran on the AS/400 and MVS. Had to write and code it in SGML, then that eventually moved to HTML.
In my daily work today, I still rely on all those basic principles of technical writing.
As a "long timer" so to speak, I think eventually there ended up being a decline of pure "technical writer" jobs out there, and not too many people going into the profession.
I don't think this has anything to do with Google's OAuth. This issue is literally with every single expired domain name out there. All one has to do is register the expired domain and look at all the emails sent to that domain.
Granted, Google "could" do something, but I don't think it's Google's responsibility to police expired domain names. What am I missing here?
This happens fairly often. But honestly it's a bit ridiculous that Google suggests that you change from a .co.uk to a .com to resolve the issue. That is NOT an option unless they're going to pay for the domain and the domain migration.
I would keep pushing back on that, there is no way that you need to move to another TLD.
They say that the site is "compromised and has malicious software", I bet it's actually something else, like a site that you're linking out to that's compromised and malicious--that's happened quite a bit in cases where sites are flagged like this in Google Ads.
You're thinking of some other service, not NameBlock or GlobalBlock. There's no automated purchasing of all similar domain names. You don't pay registration fees, as the domains that end up being blocked will never be registered by anyone (not even you).
There literally is a block on the variations, it works at the Registry level not the registrar level.
If you place a block on a brand/companyname (a string of characters), then no one can register a domain name that contains those strings of characters. They also block up to 500 variations (placing a block on 'paypal' would get 'paypa1' blocked as well.
Those domains that are blocked won't be 'parked', someone trying to register the domain that's blocked, it will just say it's not available for registration.
What I don't understand is why companies and brands like this just don't use NameBlock or a similar domain blocking service like GlobalBlock.
They literally can block domain names that have their company name or brand in them from being registered (up to 500 variations of their domain).
It's literally like $99/year to place a block. Saves a lot of the hassle of having to deal with parody and phishing sites and trying to take them down.
Just block the domain(s) from being registered in the first place.
