Well guys im new to this world of SEO I run a myspace related site and to my amazement im listed in google. I run gamerfreak.net and im listed #5 on the first page for the term myspace games I was wondering how i got there, and how do i keep this posistion?
I can tell you why..the following website has many high PR web pages and they are linking to you in over 30 pages. Here is a page linking to you near the bottom: http://www.arcadehub.com/index.php?act=play&id=282 You are very lucky...Good job with your website and you will need more bandwidth because you will get a whole lot more traffic now...
You have nearly 67 links to your website and these links were indexed by Google...adding up ALL the search engines backlinks, you have nearly 7,045 backlinks to your website... To keep this position and maybe even go higher, you can get more backlinks to your website. Get more partners to link to your website, let people on myspace display your game using an HTML Code and such. Google will definitely give you credit for that as well! Contact me if you need more banwidth because it will definitely consume more bandwidth!
That does answer as to why you have a good PR but as far as the MySpace stuff goes it looks like there are two reasons. One you mention my space quite a bit on all of your pages, but not in a hugely spammy way. Two you link out to MySpace stuff. Whether Google admits it or not I think they look at who you link to and see if you are linking to stuff thats on topic. Your site links to MySpace resources so they think your site is about MySpace. Course thats just IMHO.
Overture says that "myspace game" is searched for 328.4 /day Thats pretty sweet. GJ You should really spend some time reading through these forums so you can keep/improve that position.
