    This is interesting, go to google and search for:

    • slots
    • free slots
    • online slots
    • casino slots

    It turns out that this site: atheistunderground.org comes up on page one for all of those terms. That is such a tiny site, just 5 little articles.

    Then search:

    • online craps

    This tiny page comes up: lotlr.com with like 100 words on it and 2 tiny articles. This site links to this one: hybridshadow.com comes up on page 1 of google for:

    • online slots

    These tiny sites have URLs completly unrelated to gambling, tiny snippets of text that probably took 1 minute to write. Then there are these massive sites like Gooners Guide and Games and Casino that have been around for years with 1000s of pages about that stuff and not even on first page. I don’t get it.

    I’m sure someone here has come across these small sites, maybe owns them… How did they do it?

    Every now and then someone finds a way to manipulate google. I remember one time it involved having millions of videos linking to your site. Stuff like that.

    It always gets you banned.

    You can get a nonrelated website to rank for anything if you have enough links pointing to it. I have seen a pharmacy website rank for a casino term in the past.

    dont forget – how old the domain is and what previous traffic it had also counts. there’s always ways around google and there’s still many a blackhat out there looking for routes in. after all – its all about money. good spot. lets hope it gets sorted.

    Those are actualy old domain names with previous good websites. The owner could have given up on the domain or forgot to renew and another one buys it. Since the domain already has plenty of links pointing to it, it takes a while for Google to remove it from their DBs, hence it temporarily ranks it on whatever theme the site currently has.

    It’s a good short-term strategy, but it fails in the long run. It’s an odd trick but not really spam, at least not more than link exchanges are considered spam.
