    Hi SEO Professionals.
     
    I manage a clients website, seo, pay per click advertising, social media
    etc. Basically the whole digital shebang.
     
    There's one competitor who has started to consistently come one or two
    positions higher than my clients organically in Google, when previously they
    were way lower, pages behind in most cases.
     
    I follow all the usual rules, text links, proper page content, hand written
    industry specific news, etc to get as high a ranking as possible. Our site
    focuses on being well coded, fast to load, sensible page titles, keyphrase
    heavy spider friendly urls, etc.
     
    After doing some digging as to why the competitor was suddenly coming up so
    highly I noticed their anchor text phrases on incoming links were odd, as
    well as the quantity of them.
     
    Generally, most anchor text phrases on incoming links on sites are the
    company name, the web address etc - and it's the same for all our other
    competitors. This competitors top 30 inward linking anchor text phrases
    however were based on really focused keywords - no company name to be
    seen. Odd, as most inward links are out of your control - unless you're a
    very busy bee!
     
    I did more digging around, and found out massive amounts of the incoming
    links were from completely unrelated websites. Beauticians, property
    companies, golf equipment stores etc
     
    It turns out all these sites are part of a strange link exchange system -
    something I've not seen for ages. I remember it loads back in the day,
    around the similar time as the whole keywords in the background colour
    technique, hidden in div's etc. Black hat seo.
     
    Surely this is exactly the kind of technique that was marked down by Google
    years ago? Not just marked down but blacklisted? I find it odd that this
    technique is not only still in use but still giving an SEO boost.
     
    Whats going on? Do we follow suit to balance the advantage? Will Google soon
    see whats happening and penalize them? Generally, wtf? The competitor
    website has not changed at all, so it looks like all these inward links are
    really benefitting them. My client want to jump on the bandwagon and do the
    same, but I explain this is a bad idea. Still, this has been going on for
    months now and there's no hint of Google locking it down. Thoughts?
     
    Some of the sites linking to the competitor using really key phrase focused
    text links:

 Topic: Web 2.0 Pages

    web 2.0 mainly includes sites which involves content generation through user
    participation. Most of the social media sites are examples of web 2.0
    (Digg.com, facebook etc)

    SEM Rush looks cool.. Restricted to Google but even so it gives a good
    overview. No keyword tool is perfect you just need to go with the order of
    magnitude as a guide. If you have the budget test keywords before
    committing a long term campaign using ppc. The keywords that perform best
    are the ones to keep for further investment in gaining organic placement.
    But in most cases you will need to work on longtails using a primary
    keyword as the base so look for good longtails to build reputation. EG a
    base keyword may be "SEO" so look for things like "SEO experts london" or
    "SEO services new york" etc...
