    www. studentcomputers. co.uk - whats going on at the bottom of this guys page? He has a load a links to sites that are redirected back to his own domain. Has he bought a network of sites and 301'ed them to his domain for the link juice?

    Is this against Google TOS?

    Sounds like that. They also might be useing redirects or short urls but the site will not do good once google sees it

    Nice find Chris.

    Either they also own http://www.smart-traffic.co.uk or thats who they hired for their SEO. Gotta love the huge blank images near the bottom of both sites which to me is playing crafty.

    Could be very much blackhat methods. ;)

    That\'s bad... They are manipulating PR juice Google detects those doing that... They will rule for some time but their ruling will soon vanished...
