Google Bombshell EXPLAINED ---- GOOGLE IS SPYING ON THIS FORUM

Ok, I have a confession to make...

I really DID find a Google Bombshell --- and I should have kept it a secret, but instead --- I exposed it ---- and I exposed it to get feedback on how it was possible..... out of excitement --- but then I figured it out on my own, and then quickly edited my original post to hide the secret --- but it was too late --- 40 people read the post and the loophole looks like it was fixed

What I didnt realize is --- Google must be monitoring what's going on here.

Ok, I'll explain what happened:


Here's what happened:

The last few days... I've been searching "Boston Real Estate, Boston Condos, Boston Real Estate for sale, Boston Condos for sale, etc."

Right now... if you put Boston Condos for sale.... Boston.com comes up #1

BUT.. yesterday, and the last few days..... Boston.com would come up #1... but RIGHT ABOVE it.... would be a link saying LUXURY CONDOS BOSTON .COM and a MAP and then www.lofts boston.com written below........... they somehow manipulated Google to have their name as "BOSTON CONDOS FOR SALE" -- so they come up #1 by cheating (or by accident)

I was shocked ----- and said geez --- this is the way to #1 --- you can skip 10 years of SEO --- this is a massive loophole....

Well -- either Google Ninjas were lurking on here --- or someone dropped a dime --- because now, if you search Boston Condos For Sale it doesnt come up anymore (and I got 40 responses on that other post people thinking im soft as a grape)


This is a Sad Day for Google Secrets

Those Ninjas Are On here ---- watch out because they are right in front of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

interesting post. thanks...

 

huh, (scratching my head) Did I miss something?

 

Yeah, I'm lost too? Are you talking about that PPC ad that appears above the organic results?

 

Oh crap! Where's my tinfoil hat?

(holy crap, that was my 500th post!)

 

Guys, here is referring to Google local maps.

Anyways am based in singapore with a HK IP, it shows bostoncondos.com as no.1 query so nothing has changed for me since yesterday.

Someone from US might confirm

 

The map is still there?

See attachment.

 

Wow...i got excited for a minute...and then I wasn't anymore.

 

not seeing that here (U.S.)

 

how about boston condos.

please post screenshot.

 

YES!! See that image --- Im not crazy..... haha

That's pretty crazy ---- it stopped in the U.S. now --- do you think Google Caught on?!

 

No, they haven't manipulated anything. It's all how Google perceives a business. I very highly doubt these guys hacked Google, I would suspect upon manual review when creating Google maps, somebody made a cock-up. Unless someone can prove me wrong

 

Its strange... I mean, check out that image --- you type in Boston Condos for sale --- and that website that isnt even on the top 20 comes up #1.... as a map.... like as a business directory.... even though their name is "Luxury COndos Boston" or "Lofts Boston" or whatever they are

 

are you sure you didnt see a sponsored link?

 

No it wasnt a sponsored link --- look above, the guy from Singapore captured a screen shot of it ---- for some reason though, it appears it stopped in the U.S. (unless these Google Ninjas are watching and are calling their Google Ninja cousins in Asia)

 

Also... there's a guest viewing this right now --- is it a ninja???

 

What exactly is going on here?

Is DinoCagney just getting excited because he found a Google Local result for the first time?

 

I have read this 3 times and still don't get it. Can someone translate for me?

 

This "loophole" has been out for a while, ever since google expanded maps into the foil of their universal search. The map comes up when you try a localized search, type a city name and a service type or business type and you'll get a few suggestions from google on a map. This map appearing first thing without ranking. I seen this minipulated with people registering a bunch of locations on the map as their location without even being there physically.

Anyways here is another example:

sorry to go off topic , but how did the OP's username become grey?
