This Folkd.com, social bookmarking site... is coming up in the top 5 (somtimes top 15) for the keyword "Boston Condos" Here is the URL: http://www.folkd.com/q/%22boston+condos%22 Does anyone know why a site like this would come up so high?? Its not temporary either.... Ive been seeing this URL around the #15 spot for the past 2 months.... but it shot up to #3 Do you think its the work of an SEO person? I clicked some of the crappy links at the top of the list in Folkd.com's boston condos .... and it was nothing but crappy sites
Someone was probably trying to bookmark their landing page and Google ended up picking Folkd's page as the more relevant match since Folkd has a homepage PR of 7. I've been seeing a lot of this in the last few weeks. Not sure exactly how to get around it, I had one of my bookmarks usurp my own landing page for one keyword set and when my original site came back it had lost some 30 then 40 spots on the SERPs.
Folkd is a really good bookmarking and social news site, they are also dofollow, some of their tags have a really high page rank so they perform very well on search engines. Try to search Folkd for tags related to your web site you may end up with a few PR3 links to your site in a relevant category plus your keywords.
Every site that ranks well has their own seo elements. Some are nature , some are made by SEOer. You can judge by yourself.
i can't guess what is the nature of google algorithm but the only solution to this is just create informative articles.
