Then I guess they have their own way of finding out
. Perhaps most hosting companies cooperate as well, providing details for such thing.You said “building”. Was he intentionally building it for some sort of purpose?

content network with links to his domain to push traffic and increase his legitimate domains in the SERPs. The amount of money and time he put into it, I’m not sure he got his return on investment from it. Big risk.
I see, so it’s sort of technique I would assume. Maybe, and I am just guessing here, Google penalizes the linked sites since they have received benefits.
What happens once you get off the SERPS? Do you just vanish for a while, then get back on the horse, or is your PR wiped as well.

I don’t think there is one hard and fast rule.
I’ve seen sites plummet in the SERPs but maintain their PR, and they have to claw their way back up to the top using techniques which will give their site creditability in the engines.
and I’ve seen sites wiped clearly from the engines to never appear again.
A few years ago, the .info domains were being sold for $1.99 each, and spammers were buying up these domains to do these sort of tactics.

When you say this, penalized as in.. no longer receives the benefits of the link juice being passed on.

I bought one as well on a discount an year ago
for 0.72$ i think from Godaddy. Sadly the people I had it for back down and the renewal was 17.90$ I think.When you say this, penalized as in.. no longer receives the benefits of the link juice being passed on.
More like, what you said, in addition to remove them for a while, from the SERPS. I’ve seen a punishment only once, in London, an old schoolmate of mine, tried to boost their company’s site and got them banned for several months.
I don’t know what happened afterwards, but since he still works there, I guess they are all right.
Are you familiar with the recent JC Penny scandal?[QUOTE=xecutable;228203
Are you familiar with the recent JC Penny scandal?I am! Apparently they aren’t and weren’t the only ones doing it. The technique is pretty common, and at such a large scale it would’ve shown up on Google’s Radar in a big way when one domain starts appearing in the top 10 across so many SERP queries.
Very exciting to watch though!
They claimed that only 7% of their overall profit comes from online sales, and that it didn’t affect them a lot. I find this very hard to believe, especially when you come up 1st on terms like, shoes, jeans etc..

7% overall is still a substantial amount for a company the size of JC Penneys – granted they are a real world store.
And like.. next time round, I think organisations will build their own secondary sites to protect their main brand, and do this sort of stuff all over again.

No, they are artifically gaming the results – which will get you caught on eventually.
The other way, is ethically, and organically… what Google wants us to do. A whole heap of factors play a part in getting you listed highly in the SERPs.
Content
Links
Social Media
Links
Domain Reputation
Site Structure
Load times
Usability
etcAs Google puts it, there are numerous factors.
And then time.. For the high traffic keywords, you wouldn’t expect your domain to hit #1 from out of nowhere in a matter of 2-3 months, I am sure Google expects domains to increase through the SERPs at certain rate, with incoming links, from different types of sites
