I usually do not post spam sites, as there are just way too many examples out there! However, this one did catch my eye!~ :eyes:
If you can get past the redirect and the fact that it is spam, you will find some interesting insight as to content placement and meta/anchor tag coding which could help positioning.
Not that one should spam to achieve it, but the strategy and placement are sound. However, I would not recommend duplicating the spam techniques, such as multiple title tags or invalid form field names.
Below is a copy of my message to MSN and inktomi:
While searching on MSN I found the following URL listed,
http://www.betterposition.com/i/16th/16th.htm. I do not remember the keywords used, however what I did notice was the redirect to a completely irrelevant site.
With redirection disabled or using: view-source:http://www.betterposition.com/i/16th/16th.htm in internet explorer, one can see the true intent to manipulate and dilute the quality of the search results.
Please pass this on to one of your technical engineers. Only one inspection is necessary to find "content" used to manipulate position, which is totally unrelated to the "re-directed" destination page.
This domain appears to have several pages listed, but also noted what appears to be "paid index" listings through redirect-west.inktomi. So there may be another "domain match" opportunity for such activities by reviewing the appropriate subscription URLs as well.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Junior Harris
