Brilliant Programmer Successfully Fools Google / Giving Great SERPs Part II

A site has a PR10

It has either done a brilliant job of fooling Google and Macromedia
or a serious Programming error in the Reverse Algorithms has occurred

Here is the linking information

half the links are from Google and Macromedia

This may be an example of Google Programming gone Awry

So- don't feel too bad about any of your sites' links suddenly disappearing or SERPs changes - it may be reverse algo gone flaky

PS: GOOGLE READS THIS FORUM - CAN'T YOU JUST SEE THEIR FACES NOW! (Sh-h-h ...of course, if you replicated their site for one update - you will get these results - but of course, none of you would do that - would you?)

 

Makes it scary for those people who buy PR links- atleast another thing to check into... would be easy enough to cloak a PR8 page so it wasn't *as* obvious.

 

That's domain selling scam probably.

 

well Id assume if someone knows about what PR means, they would oprobably know the link: command in google, so hopefully it doesnt work very often.

 

Nice cache...

It's not that brilliant though. It's a known exploit of the G loophole where you either 301 or meta refresh to a site and hijack its PR and inherit its links.

In some cases they actually steal your serps so by altering the refresh they can steal your traffic for some time.

Very bad error in G's algo's which is taking an awful long time to be dealt with.

 

I visited the site and wondered why I kept getting google every time I clicked a link. I guess they don't have their code set to handle firefox and so I got the 301.

Regarding the hijacking, I mentioned this some time ago. It looks like a serious issue and I don't know why G hasn't addressed the problem.

 

Seeing as how you posted this method before, does this make you a programming genius too?

 

Well, unfortunately it's just a 301/2 - completely within standards (ie, in it's own right). And quite frankly, the WM is free to redirect to whomever he/she chooses. Imagine if G had to check them all.. it'd be like having to ask.. is that dhtml for legitimate purposes, or are they just hiding text ?

It happens all the time - only now it seems to be a popular way to stiff PR suckers.. I reckon there's gotta be the odd chuckle floating around G's hallowed cubicles right now

After all that - I gotta wonder why they bothered.

 

Meant this Topic as a joke - did not expect ANYONE to take it seriously

all the web master did was replicate Google - See the "Cached" version link
and see the SERPs

 

I agree the thread title is very misleading, a good issue to highlight though.

The tactic displayed raises all sorts of issues that webmasters need to be mindful of. Some webmasters are clueless on this stuff and need to be shown the light.

 

So... if you gained high PR using this trick, and then swapped in actual content-rich pages, how long would it be between the time that your new content was indexed and given good SERPS and the time when your huge undeserved PR bonus disappeared?

 

IMO Will, you wouldn't get any good positions as none of that PR would be attributed to any of the internal pages for the simple reason that the bot would never have seen them. Its only reference points would be what it 'sees', and when it gets the new content, I believe that it would then see it for the domain + backlinks attributable to that specific , and not for the domain that it was cloaked-301'ed to.

As for the green in the bar, I think it would stay there until an update, or until otherwise spotted.

That site using the ploy, (maybe someone can check with a firefox googlebotted browser) is still using the 301. A look at its inner pages shows that none of the green stuff has flowed through.
