Remember; Nintendo paid for the tariffs.
Nintendo has launched an oddly described but very welcome sale.
They made this announcement on their site:
Nintendo of America is excited to announce the Customer Appreciation Sale, one of our largest promotions ever, featuring 30% off dozens of Nintendo Switch digital games and bundles, plus savings on select physical games, downloadable content, accessories, amiibo, and apparel.
They’re holding this sale from September 12 to 26. If you’re wondering if tariffs have something to do with it, Nintendo has confirmed it:
The Customer Appreciation Sale is our way of saying thank you to Nintendo players for their continued support and is made possible in part by tariff-related refunds. While Nintendo absorbed most tariff-related costs, the refunds helped make promotions like this one possible.
As we reported last month, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa explained they did cover tariff costs last year. We know there are gamers who remain skeptical about this claim, but Furukawa would not make this claim if they couldn’t defend it in court.
Strange messaging aside, Nintendo is just following the lead of other consumer goods companies who received IEEPA tariff refunds. We’re actually wondering when Sony and Microsoft will do the same thing.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
