I’ve also messed about doing test links to google.
My latest one linked back to the results page url for a given search term. For example if my main keyphrase was “slots”, I would search google for that term, then link to the results page.
Rankings did improve but not sure if that had anything to do with it. Have now taken the links down to see if my results again change.
Too much fun testing these goofy theories/ideas.
