As for you saying that 7 of the 10 sites on page 1 for no deposit bonus don’t belong. From my datacenter searching on g.co.uk sites 1,2,8 are exact match searches. #3 is a massive site with tons of content and inbound links. A few others are also massive sites with tons of inbound links. Maybe 2-3 of those sites shouldn’t be there.
Hi fonzi, i was actually going to post a follow up saying i was wrong about 7 out of 10, yes it is more like 3 that dont belong, one of them being mine, uknodeposit.co(.)uk but it thought it would be fun to get some some other insight, and yes you are right on most points alll except the age thing. This is where i think things are changing, some seo guys think that the new update that came in with panda3.3 a few weeks ago was to give less credit to anchot text links and more to brand links, well i dont agree as google have said they have “turned off” a ranking metric that they have used for many years, but wont say what it is, im going to go out on one here, but i think google no longer uses site age/domain age as a raning factor, and i think this because so many new sites are popping up, xecutable mentioned n another post how a new site he was helping on with not much content was ranking for good terms. If you think about it, and im no seo guy here, just a guy rambling, but as google is all about delivering relevant results, most searchs are to do with things that are happening now, like “earthquake in mexico” google will use social media, news etc to rank the top site, niot age or trust in the domain, hmm i dont know, like i said im ramblng. But i do think that google wants to give new sites a chance, like my site thats ranking front page at present, only has 65 pages and its less than 8 months old, but as i add almost a page a day, maybe google thinks this site is more relevant for ‘no deposit bonus’ beacsue its growing, more so than a site that has been solid on the front page for 6 years, hmm, im not even gonna read this post back, thats my thoughts
