I'm Stumped! Can you figure it out?

And btw, my ban list on my board includes

*@*.ru and *@*.cn since that is where most of the bots and spammers some from.

it is a VERY old school way of creating doorway pages

i used to create thousands of those a day, probably still have a ton up somewhere

keywords and inbound links is that game

google is smarter now though, they will ban those in days

And now they've changed it already.
But here's the thing. all the links on the page were for just as cryptic links, just random strings of letters of pages that were the same.

The only way I see this doing anything is if they built up all this incoming link popularity, swapped it out for a valid sales item page, skating on the popularity, until google caught up to it?

That's the only thing I see? Seems like an awful lot of work for a small, questionble, return.

heh, they did change it...funny....they are watching their referral logs pretty closely

but when it was up, if you checked the very bottom of the page you would see the real reason they put those pages up....every page has real links on the bottom...probably via some sort of php include, so they can change out those links on millions of pages by changing one php file. that way they can run a "your link on a million pages" services and sell links....which is why you have to be VERY careful when you buy links for your sites from those services

but awful lot of work? man, I have a program on my computer here that will create 10,000 of those pages a minute

Yea, I saw those links.....
But I'm sorta seeing where you are going.
Who knows.
Just drives me nuts people spend so much time and effort trying to scam the system.
If they'd just join Amway, they'd be rich in a week.

back in the day before google got wise those types of pages worked insanely well, throw a couple of adsense banners up on there, pump out 100,000 of those a week and you would have $1-2k adsense checks a month

these days that shit don't fly though
