I have NOTHING to do with any affiliate program, I have websites which I am interested in promoting and ranking for, I am not even remotely alluding to any marketing or affiliate program. I simply would like to know how this guy was able to outrank an well known internet marketer so easily.

There are NO affilate links or anything, I am just interested in information, thats all.

The fellow sued was on page one with Dillard, but I think the issue was a pretty clear cut case of libelous statements about Dillard.

As soon as I realized who had been sued, I got out the popcorn and started watching the fun. As a "poser", I am certainly entitled to enjoy the show.

The ranking method includes a lot of posts to a network of blogs.

Thanks

The lawsuit specifically states that he manipulated the search engines to outrank him. You can find a copy of the lawsuit online.

I did not read the legal documentation, because the document was loaded into the PDF upside-down. :p

It was hurting my eyes to read. But the Google cache certainly tells an interesting story about what may have predicated it.

  Actually Bill, you should be careful standing on your head.
  If your monitor pulses at the same frequency as mine, it
  could trigger the transmophricgric syndrome.
  
  Be careful who you take advice from about these things. I don't
  think that Brian spends a lot of time standing on his head while
  reading forums.

Not sure what a poser is , but I see you edited your original post and stated the ranking methods includes a lot of posts to a network of blogs, isnt that the same method that callan uses? and is it effective?

The simplicity of my question may have confused you, I am more interested in HOW this guy was able to outrank one of the biggest internet marketers online.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe, the person being sued calls everyone who goes to the WF a "poser".

I was not at all confused by the simplicity of your question.

Here is one Google result that has the person being sued, ranked in the #1 spot: mike dillard scam - Google Search

You might have to view the Google Cache to see the context of the ranked pages.

And I did also edit my original post previously to describe how he managed to rank so high:

As far as Callan, I don't know that person.

I do know people who move rankings with posts to a network of blogs, but it is unknown whether the method will continue to be effective moving forward with the recent changes in Google.

Additionally, I think it is a somewhat spammy way to play the engines.

Thanks

  I think the OP was looking for the SEO benefit on how someone was able to dominate a search.

  Yeah that is right...
  
  And I gave him a brief answer. But I don't want to say to much about the program used by the person being sued, because as you know, I am one of those posers.
  
  Some people know why I won't say too much about it. And everyone else is just annoyed.
  
  Dillard is not the interesting story to me. He is just the person that put the ball in motion.
  
  I have my popcorn. I am happy.

I think it's going to be interesting, but I think it's a "load." Sounds to me like Dillard is just whining because someone outranked him in the SERPS. Regardless, it should be fun to watch and see the outcome!

Thanks

Well, you can go visit his site, lol - and I'm sure he would love you for it.

Or, you can check out some of his old posts here on our forum (oops, you will need to dig as his status has been changed to guest) .

LOL, I had to flip it in my reader. I thought maybe that was just me.

(apologies to Michael Mayo, had to borrow this, would love to see you here, lol)
