Surprisingly I've got a number 2 spot on yahoo for "blue widgets" for bluewidgets.info with absolutely no backlinks and relatively new domain (1y+).

Actually that's true and I know that from experience too...forgot since it's been a while but I had bought a high traffic adult name years ago thinking the traffic was from a nice aged Yahoo Directory listing, but it actually turned out to be #3 hand-placement for like 15 niche terms, a dozen of which were xx,xxx+/mo terms. It was obvious hand-placement meant to be consistent across all the terms. Eventually it lost the ranking but it held up for a good 4 months after I purchased and redirected to aff and parked and I made back the money I spent on it easily. It's amazing all the traffic flowing through search engines on single terms like that.
