just curious, does anyone know why the panic disorder link (i can't post the link yet because im new) comes up as the second page result when you search "bodybuilding misc" in google?

i dont understand, those terms aren't anywhere in the article or the domain name

      Mamba,

      If you are referring to the Hubpage hosted site, The keyword is there in the HTML code.
      But you cannot see the keyword in the page. Just verify the HTML code and you can see the keyword.
      Search for "img src=" and you will find it there. I think a BlackHat trick has played there, because the URL is pointing to google's search results page that list their own site.

      Code:
      <img src="/c/a1210330.gif?rf=http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ccsqfjab&url=http%3a%2f%2fhubpages.com%2fhub%2fcan-panic-away-prove-that-panic-disorder-is-not-all-in-your-head&rct=j&q=bodybuilding+misc&ei=8bwatosnhyxccer2plak&usg=afqjcnfcq6w6rreimf0hnkpieacyyt18rq

        Where do people get all this time to do this stuff?????

        Yeah. Google will show you the page it thinks bests matches at
        any given point in time.

        Since nobody in their right mind is going to search for
        bodybuilding misc, what on earth do you expect google to
        do with such a search? It will give you exactly what you search
        for, but probably toss in the best bodybuilding site as well, just
        because it thinks your nutty search is misguided.

        "click here," man am I rolling. Adobe owns that "niche," baby!

    Paras, I was telling two other people on this forum about "click here" XD I didn't even see your post!

    Got it off an SEO ebook actually.

    It's the anchor text on other sites. Proving that Google doesn't give a **** about what you actually have on your site in terms of content.

      ahh alright so he found a trick to get an unrelated page to rank for a certain search result. does anyone know why this trick works though? i dont understand that code or what its linking to. i cant even find the image on the page.

      actually the misc section at bodybuilding.com is one of the most popular individual sections of a forum on the net so a reasonable amount of people probably search that term (which is how i actually saw the weird search result). one of the most popular threads/stickies in the forum is about anxiety and it was obvious someone was trying to capitalize on the anxious bodybuilders (there's also a pretty big affiliate marketing thread on the forum).
