This article
http://ww w.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=2036995

is ranking on page 1 of google for the term
reverse cell phone lookup

That is possibly one of the most competitive terms for clickbank marketing.

The thing is, this article has been ranking on page 1 for about 10 days and I'm sure the guy is making a bunch of sales because of it. It has no serious backlinks.

And its duplicate content ripped right off the reversephone detective affiliate tools section.

So, why is google being so kind to this piece of dupe content?

I've seen brand new articles rank on page one for a couple of days, but they were original and faded into the search results very quickly. This article has sat in position 4-5 for a while(much longer than it should be).

I mean if its that easy, just submit a fresh article every 10 days and let it rank on page 1, when it fades away write a new one.

My only guess is that it is because his title
is just

reverse cell phone lookup

Do you know why?

Thanks

      The reason which i find that the article which he submit is good and informative. And they also submit that article in some more sites and also work that its come in Google ranking.

      You can also do that but for that you need to post a quality articles and then also do some promotion work for that articles. Then you also see your articles in top 10 and get good traffic.

      Hey Kevin,

      Where do see that this article has over 12,000 backlinks? Yahoo is only showing 9 and 8 are from myspace.

      Just wondering if you have some special software I need to get my hands on?

          Lumbardi, it doesn't work for links/urls like this. BLW can't handle it and Majestic seems to look at just the parent domain, not the URL itself.

          ptone<<< I was basing my results on THIS URL:

          Free Reverse Cell Phone Lookup Websites - Do They Exist?

          Just type it into the google search engine and there's over 12,000 results. You can go page by page and they all have his link included somewhere. But when you get to page 5, the results change to 47 or sth. Not sure why.

          mikkosant<<< not sure why you were basing it on this URL: Reverse Cell Phone Lookup: GoArticles.com 'cause it's not #1 for "reverse cell phone lookup". It's the one I provided up there with ptone.

          Btw, perhaps this article is the original (I haven't compared dates of when articles were submitted, not worth my time) and it's OTHER articles that are duplicates of this one. Just a thought.
