actually it seems something else is going there

**pocketkangaroo** · 05-22-2005, 06:06 PM

Well, they have a ton of links coming in.

http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=ut...w.seocount.com

97,000 backlinks. As you can see, most look either purchased, or part of a link network. Nothing shady as far as I can see. However, Google has been cracking down on link networks and paid links a lot.

Damn...you are right. I was examining backlinks for the main domain, www.seocount.com, but somehow neglected to check backlinks for each specific URL. Well, looks like I have a few more hours of studying ahead of me.

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=lin...web-t&toggle=1

Results 1 - 10 of about 98,000 for linkdomain:seocount.com - 0.24 sec.

But here's where it gets interesting again. In the last 5 minutes I have gone to the first 20 backlinks listed for http://seocount.com/lavalife/
So far, I haven't found this url listed on any of the backlink pages. And according to the dates beside some of the backlinks, these were last updated yesterday.

**Chimmy** · 05-22-2005, 06:15 PM

O.K., I have now found one common link on many of the pages:

http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/

Going to research this one a bit more.

**Thrawn$** · 05-22-2005, 06:21 PM

it's all about anchor text link back from related sites.

If you look at each page then they have a significant number of in-bound links probably achieved through a link trade network somewhere! Google is currently dancing just now those serps may hold they may not! Just need to wait and see

This is a trick well known amongst seos.These guys are making good use of it.Unfortunately,when used like this it rarely becomes a long term strategy.

**spunkmaster** · 05-22-2005, 08:08 PM

They have a network of cloaked pages and that's why you don't
see the actual links on the sites linking to them !

What you see when you view source isn't what the search engines see !

**Chimmy** · 05-22-2005, 08:13 PM

I don't think it's cloaked pages. I examined each page using "spider simulator" software. But, I do think it has a lot to do with the link found on most of their backlinks, http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/. This is a link trade service that rotates members links at the foot of the page of participating sites. This would explain why I can't find seocount.com's links on any of the backlink pages. They were likely there when google spidered the pages, but not at the moment that I checked them, due to link rotation.

Those pages chimmy has posted aren't cloaked, what chimmy has posted is what Google is seeing, those rankings have been achieved from:

To tell the truth, I prefer email.I do answer all my emails.Just put chowda or gfy in the subject line.
Icq takes so much time, I hardly get time to admire my view.
Cheers
