Very hard to argue with, but I'm not exactly sure how the rankings cause this to happen. Perhaps Google geeks are making a direct statement here.

Depending on how quickly this gets around it may not work for very long. - Fri, 14 Oct 2005 9:34am

It's to do with the searches and chosen links or something. Google has an area where they explain it all...just take a look around i think it's there. - Fri, 14 Oct 2005 3:06pm

Ya, like Nik says, Google has been explaining why this happens.

It was obvious that someone was manipulating the result somehow, because on mere search words alone there is no way this would be the top relevant hit.

Hell, if someone can manufacture that kind of placement they should charge money to companies who only wish they could place that high. (With a different search word however for obvious reasons....) - Wed, 19 Oct 2005 10:06am
