I need some advice. I am ranking very high on page 1 of G for a competitive keyword phrase, and recently a new competitor has entered the picture and grabbed the #1 spot. His domain was registered less than 3 months ago and he already has over 97,000 backlinks, most from the homepages of high-PR blogs. How is that even possible? I would think there's no automation software that could build links that fast, much less manual backlinking. And there's no way he could own a link farm that large. I also don't understand how it hasn't thrown up a huge red flag to G. I have an aged domain that is 5 years old with the keyword phrase in the domain. Is there any way I can outrank him? I mean I know the vague answer would be "hard work and dedication," but that is what I've put in for the last year or so for this site, then this guy just suddenly jumps in and takes the #1 spot with an MFA site with scraped content. Just don't see how it's possible. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
How did my competitor do this? How can I beat him?
