    What are the factors/criteria for a site to appear in a related search to my site? i.e. related:mysite.com

    I've found a few I can't figure out. No backlinks, unrelated theme etc.

    grg,

    I thought I need a pair of new glasses. A female with extra eyes (more googling) and mouth (more talking)?

    Joke aside.

    May I know the purpose of looking for related sites. Competitors?

    I thought it was checking your site against others for more of a duplicate content reason.
    Who knows. I will be very interested to see the answer.

    If it's to simply see competitors what a waste of time.

    After a bit of research i found a post on another forum stating

    related sites are actually sites which either:

    linked to you or

    linked from you or

    linked to a site which linked to you or

    linked to a site which linked from you

    I agree with this. Also you should include sites which link to the same sites as you.
