INTERNET MARKETING

Hi All,

I was doing some research and came across this article

Permanent Yeast Infection Cure: GoArticles.com

According to Firefox SEO its a PR 7 with only 3 links

.

The 3 links dont look all that either. Anyone got any ideas why the PR is so high?

No idea how it is so high - is it linked in heavily on the homepage, or in the popular articles categories and getting a lot of internal link support?

Even the mighty Angela's backlink article is only PR5
Challenge: GoArticles.com

I have been having a look at the internal linking and I cant see anything special. The goarticles site itself is a PR6. So this page is even higher. I just dont get it!

As far as I can tell, it only has a handful of backlinks - but all are topic related. It's also listed in DMOZ and Yahoo. Could that alone have done it? It shows the article date is only September of 2009. Very interesting....

I have site which is Dmoz and yahoo registered. It has plenty of related backlinks and is only PR5. Took me quite a while to achieve that. This article seems to have done it in less than 6 months!

That is pretty strange, I could see a PR 4 based on the DMOZ and other quality links....but a 7.

If only we could find out how to emulate that one.

  I searched link:URL in Google. There are 1000+ pages linking to this article apparently, but I couldn't find "goarticles" in the source text of about half the pages I checked.
  
  It's only been a few months, but obviously it's possible. Whether it will keep its high PR is another question.
  
  Thanks

They must have link juice from GOD

EDIT - I was gonna ask if Go Articles recently changed their linking structure. Maybe the article with that id number was deleted and this one took its place and the pr has simply not updated to reflect the new change?

lol - no idea. Either that or a Google employee.

  That's too funny!
  
  Just realized my ezinearticles show as DMOZ, too, so must just come with the domain.
  
  Back to having no clue how he did this but I wonder if Google has any part-time job openings....
  
  Thanks

Wow. I just had to check the backlinks myself. I guess this just goes to show that anything is possible with the all mighty Google.

My guess is it is just a glitch with Google's PR and that it will be back to "normal" the next time PR is updated. I've seen this happen before on occasion...

  That was my initial thought, too, however, given that it's ranking well for a couple of semi-competitive terms the author might be building their links to a different domain which in turn then 301 redirects to the article.
  
  Doing so could explain why we can't find any of it's backlinks.
  
  Thanks

The article is also no.3 for 'yeast infection cure' and no.16 for 'yeast infection'. I wonder how many views it has had.

I saw an article like that in my niche too. It also had PR7. I know that you can pay a fee to Goarticles to purchase a featured article. I wonder if your featured articles gets this high PR for a limited amount of time?
