How is this possible?

by S Drost Posted: 15 years ago 10 replies

I ran a Market Samurai SEO Competition query today and I am a bit confused. If you see in the attached that the site in #4 has a G index count of 14, 50 page backlinks and 70 domain backlinks. How is this site on page one? I know I have less backlinks than the sites below me, but that site has nothing.

Look forward to your input.

Thanks much,

Scott

The domain might be REALLY old, or the incoming links might be very high PR/have very high link value.

  Exactly. Try to do more research and see what you can come up with. There could be other factors responsible this mix up.

There's always a couple like that. Could be really good on page seo, plus I see they do have a DMOZ entry. Sometimes things don't always make sense, but seeing the sites may help.

I recently came across a new site (7 days old) that are sitting at #1 for a rather competitive terms with no backlink at all. no exact keywords in title or domain. Just doesn't make sense at all.
