Search 'sausage'.

Do you think the company in #2 has a good testimony for having that totally unrelated link there?

Google bombing lives

And of course Google is currently in the throws of a major update (rolling out "Caffeine") so all manner of oddities will be apparent for a few days/weeks until they fine tune the new filters

Chris, not that I'm even gonna try and implement this... but can you explain more on how they managed this?

It's just because a "SEO" (UK) company rang us today to "guarantee" us number 1 spot for certain keywords and this seems VERY similar...

*Edit... Just worked out this is exactly how they are doing it!*

They didn't happen to be called IO with a MART on the end, or Rapid + Rank (though the last word should be spelt with a 'W' 'cos that what they are NOT worth!!!!)

Actually, no - But looks like they are employing the same tactics...

Can't wait for their "follow up call" to me tomorrow!

Haha! Well I was eating a sausage and wanted to know what a sausage actually was - so my intention was to find Wikipedia on Sausage (too lazy to go to Wikipedia directly)

Are you mad???

You were eating a sausage and wanted to know what it was???

Just eat and enjoy! If you find out what they are, you may never look at one in the same way ever again.

Oh gawd, I smell a whole new generation of SEO link spammers that try to compete for high searched words that are not relevant to their site's content. Let the games begin...

Well hopefully you have learned your lesson when it comes to companies that claim to promise #1 rankings. Hopefully you don't get caught, that will be a shame.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with "hagus"...since my site is webmaster related, and we ALL know, webmasters LOVE hagus.

And Rich, if you're eating Hagus...don't Google it, just put it down, and step away from the Hagus.
