Face Fitness Formula Review - Scam or Any Good and Fast Vitiligo Cure Review - Scam or Really Work

At the bottom of each of these single page sites there's a "labels" module. It contains the keywords the sites are targeting. These sites are ranking #1 in Google for all of them.

This person either re-writes the sales copy using broken English or copy's paragraphs from the sales copy word for word!

How can sites such as this rank #1 in Google for so many different keywords? I understand that some of the keywords aren't very good. However, this person ranks 1st in Google for "product name review" and "product name ebook" keywords constantly. As far as I know these keyword types convert reasonably well..

Edit: My mistake, these sites have many backlinks..

While checking one of the sites backlinks I noticed this.. screenshot of backlinks according to ahrefs

How does this backlink have a ranking of 279?

This is where the link is coming from.. www.sandiegocitd.org

It has nothing to do with this niche at all, and when I scroll down I notice that the content is impossible to make sense of and appears to be keyword stuffing.

Is there any black hat SEO happening here? Do backlinks suck as these carry much weight?

    Junk terms, junk searches, junk results.

    One page websites can be quite good and rank high.
    Has nothing to do with anything.

    The number of backlinks can have little to do with
    rankings.

    The first site has over 1000 backlinks for this domain: Face Fitness Formula Review - Scam or Any Good

    When I type "face fitness formula review" in Google, the domain above is the one that is showing up.

    Their onsite SEO is pretty good, and they have a lot of anchor text backlinks from a variety of IPs.

    The second site is in the same situation. Pretty good onsite SEO and anchor text backlinks from a variety of IPs. Fast Vitiligo Cure Review - Scam or Really Work is what is ranking #1.

      these sites are mostly ranking because the searches they are targeting are kindergarten easy to rank for with zero backlinks...
