Okay this is just so annoying.
I've been doing SEO for one of my clients for a few months, good positions across the board, and then the other day this site that I've never seen before just pops up in the results above hers. I mean hello that's mine plain and simple and has been for months. :<
So I'm like getting really territorial over this, I mean the cheek of it. So I checked for dodgy techniques and yeah there are none which sucks, their code wise is no where near as good as mine, page load time slower until I noticed 1 thing. I did some link analysis and out of all of their links they just have crap after crap after crap I mean they obviously paid for SEO services but jease, so I'm like how is this possible most aren't even indexed???? It's like looking through the monkeys handbook to SEO you know.
Until i came to one result that made me go awww. They got a link in 1 directory that has a fair amount of equity on the page it is on. I have the same link in the same directory but on a much lower equity page, because it's a slightly different topic. This directory then feeds o say a few others which then have flaming equity, the sites it feeds mine to do but again not as good, or as many.
So by nothing more than fluke they have got the higher position on that alone. O that seriously, seriously sucks. I hate it when ppl get lucky. O well not for long. Huh.......
So any one else have any similar stories to share, doesn't have to be SEO related?
One well annoyed Jaz. :<
