Today I will present 2 cases of sites which have made their way into top search engine queries for medium to high competition keywords by cheating.
The first is hemorrhoids - stop . net (I added spaces just in case ; ). So, this guy made his site on 27-Oct-09, and after only a few months, he gets top three for http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=hemorrhoids+treatment&cts=1274883514529&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= Also, he has a staggering 40000 links. But how does a hemorrhoid site get 40000 backlinks in just a few months? Well, if you do a yahoo backlink check, you will discover something very interesting. Basically, the guy exploits a joomla security breach and posts this kind of code on hundreds of sites: font style=“position:absolute;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:1px” (you nasty little hacker!). After which he posts his links. Most webmasters don’t even notice their sites are used. And from what I see, not even Google cares.
Second is anti herpes . net (also remove spaces). So this guy bought a dropped domain (see domaintools), placed 3-4 pages of “impressive 5 stars highly quality content” and competes for a highly searched keyword: “herpes pictures”. What this guy is doing is a more obvious form of spam: posting his link on a network of blogs. From what I see (and from what you can see in yahoo backlink checker), a 1000 blogs network.
Well, in the light of those 2 cases presented above, my question is: Why should webmasters like you and me bother building good sites, with good and well researched content when people like the guys above are taking the big pieces of pie and leave us with 7th page sites?
