something to ponder

I have a small business on the side with my sister manufacturing flower girl dresses for children. I have a web site ranked only in the usual children's dress categories.

I have a job with a perfume distributor as webmaster and SEO. The perfume distributor has a perfume site with, in addition to the the usual things one does to rank pages, has some 200+ paid pages with positiontech. All of these paid positiontech pages are of perfume manufacturers and perfume names. They all rank within the top 6 positions in their primary keyword searches.

To help with my flower girl dress site, I buried a single link in each perfume page to my flower girl dress site. I gave the name "flower girl dress perfume" to each of these links. Of course, there is no such thing as flower girl dress perfume, but I did so just to see what would happen.

To my amazement, a search on "girl perfume", "flower girl perfume", or "flower girl dress perfume" brings up my site ranked #1 in those categories. On my flower girl dress site I have absolutely NO reference to perfume. The only way I could have come up on those searches is a result of that link.

I'm sure that Ink never actually followed that link I hid on the perfume pages but it did take notice of it in a very positive way. I put it in its database and ranked it high using the description I gave it.

I now have a free #1 ranking with my flower girl site relating to perfume in MSN, AOL, etc. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing before? This would seem to have some interesting possibilities.
