    I got an e-mail from Google news about a topic, so i went to check the website out and found a sitemap @ http://www.mylifenow.info/sitemap/all. All of the links redirect to bodybuilding.com subpages, is this a dirty SEO tactic? :confused:

    why would it be shady?

    bodybuilding.com either owns that website or has purchased links there..


    I don't think it helps him much in terms of SEO though...

    Looks shady as hell to me. It's a "remote sitemap" using re-directs. Could be a "hijack attempt", but I doubt it.

    Bodybuilding.com is a big company, i doubt they are doing anything like this, they simply dont need it.

    that's what i'm thinking - why would they need to do it? simply because SERP's don't come from nowhere.. :(
