An enterprising company called LocalWidgetServices.com, enjoys some high organic placements on page 1 of Google for a wide variety of key industry terms (combined with local geographic modifiers). eg: City Widget Services. What they are doing is, they are actively selling these spots by creating a subdomain of their main listing, and reselling it. They call it their "search engine placement program." I have not seen this ploy before. I actually think it is quite clever. However, it seems to me that it may be violating Google's TOS, or, at the very least, G would not see it as a cool move. What do people think?
