The Other Search Engines

#1 (permalink)

I noticed that many "blog sites" (= sub-domain of a blog, like yourname.blogspot.com) have high rankings within search engines, for example - MSN Search & just redirect traffic to affiliate campaigns!!

How is it possible that such sites get a top-5 ranking within search engines (i.e. MSN Search) & the only thing what those personal blog urls do is "re-directing" you to affiliate offers whereby you will NOT see the original blog itself at all?

What is the 'trick' here to get such a high position?

Thanks!

It can seem a little underhanded, but if you can't beat them, join them.

I've used blogs to ensure that certain urls are crawled and search engine listings get updated.

It doesn't have to be cheezy and sneaky. Just make sure that the blog you're using for links has relevant, useful content and serves some purpose other than being an obvious ranking ploy.
