Black Hat SEO

No backlinks - how do they do it?

[SlyOldDog]

I have noticed in the pill industry many sites rank #1 with no backlinks.

The sites themselves are cloaked redirects, but how is it the URL which shows up in the Google Index at #1 shows no backlinks?

Did you check Yahoo to see backlinks?

[SlyOldDog]

Doh - you got it.

What's the difference between the backlinks in Google and the ones in Yahoo?

[conroy]

yahoo displays them.

Darn those black hats, cloaking their backlinks on Google. ;-)

How do you cloak backlinks on Google? and what is the point of that?

How do you cloak backlinks on Google

usually you don't need to. Google does it for you.

[rfung]

oh,the 'don't show pr4 or less links'.

[conroy]

The pr4 or under not showing has been gone for a while. Google now displays a completely random list of your worst links. So, Google is basically cloaking all of your good links for you. Fortunately yahoo has a pretty good link checker.
