interesting google quirk...

    I was just curious about something and i googled my username here on DP.

    here's the link:

    http://www.google.com/search?q=vectorgraphx&safe=vss

    everything but one was expected - the bottom one.

    (www dot primeinc dot com)

    ok, here's what's odd about that. YES, it is the website in my DP user profile. however - and this is where it gets weird - i'm not linking to this website with the word "vectorgraphx" in my anchor text at all, NOR is "vectorgraphx" anywhere in the html source code on primeinc dot com. Why did primeinc dot com come up on a google search for "vectorgraphx" then?

    no anchor text backlinking, no on-site optimization, nothing. ONLY the fact that the link to the primeinc dot com website is on the SAME PAGE as the word "vectorgraphx". is google therefore using proximity to other words as well as anchor text?

    I know with google bombing, you put your keyword into the anchor text in a link to the site... but what this tells me is that just being near the word "vectorgraphx" has caused the google algorithm to give weight to this url on that irrelevant, and completely disconnected and meaningless keyword.

    Thoughts?

    IMO its quite normal because i have checked this keyword and your website with my tool and you are at 6 position for allinanchor command in google.
    So everything is right :)

    Can someone explain this to me in simple terms.

    So what was the deal on this again?
