Competitor gets 1000+ keywords on top positions!?

Greetings,

I've recently stumbled across a site that competes with my own business and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the success it has taking advantage of Google.

It's a shop with like 5000+ products in it. It's got like 1000+ single sites, each of em targeted for one keyword (phrase). The mainpage has a PR5, no frames and doesn't seem to have any deep links which one could analyse for further observation.

Anyways, each of those mentioned 1000+ keyword-optimized sites get 1st-page results when looked up in Google. Most of these keywords have a big competition. All (and I mean ALL) of these sites have a PR4 and reside within the root httpd directory, at least it let's you believe they are (thinking about mod_rewrite).

One example:

http://www.competitorssite.com/t-123-1221-1231--1231--keyword.htm

That scheme goes for each site.

Question is, hoe does he yield those results? And how comes each site gets a PR4 though no visible inbound links seem to be present?

Thanks for reading through,
Bernhard

They do have inbound links, you're just not seeing them.

What are you using to check? Try Yahoo!......

The search term would be:-

linkdomain:www.thesite.com -site:www.thesite.com

okay, so far so good.

what I do not understand yet, is:

The main page www.example.com has a PR5 and all 1000 subpages have automatically a PR4. Does that PR result automatically for all those single pages no matter how many inbound links are within one page?
