Tim nicks my traffic again.... :)Great analysis though, Tim :)
good stuff :)
Great job, show the suckers!
This is rich..."Let this be a warning to any potential spammers"Warning hell, you just showed them how to take control themselves!
@IncrediBILL for a spammer they would want to do this only for highly competitive terms; cause for them it’s all about the money. As illustrated this only works with low volume searches. In addition they would need to have some authority on the domain with a history of incoming links for google to respond in the same manner. I think that Tim didn’t really expose anything that wasn’t already known by most. I think it was a great read and a wonderful examination of what went down.
The spammer by the very nature of the technique couldn’t achieve what we did ;) the site in question had 20k of spammy links behind it afterall but no sort of real authority however many bloggers possibly could achieve this and you of course are at risk if you are sitting at the top of an uncompetitive search term and are not monitoring.
