I think I've really hit on something ... finally.

My recent posts regarding the appearance of onerailway when searching for 'norwich web designers'. I have now found there pr7 site listed under unrelated subjects as 'Engineering work' - 291 million + & 'world record attempt' 41 million +.

These phrases are obviously nothing to do with their core business and yet the phrases are mentioned textually on their front page.

I leave it to you experts to analyse.

Cheers

Colin

Somebody tell me I'm good ;-)

leosghost, what can I say, I felt the faintest ray of hope rise with webfusion's comments.... but you're right. It's hard to give up though, some pearls still pop in now and then.

Although I can't see the anomoly accross the DC's, my local G.co.uk in Norwich shows all railways for 'Engineering work' for the whole top 10!

[colin_h]

Anyone want a copy of the listing ... I've saved the page.

I have noticed something odd with this update...

If I search for 'blue widgets' my site is returned in the top 2 positions, say /littlebluewidgets.html and /bigbluewidgets.html. While the main blue widgets page /bluewidgets.html is nowhere to be found.

Then, I search 'site:mysite blue widgets', and #1 result is /bluewidgets.html, followed by /littlebluewidgets.html and /bigbluewidgets.html.

Does this make any sense?

This is across all datacenters, including jagger3.

colin_h, just taken a lookg myself and saw that too - i also see it on all other DCs - something must be wrong with the serps at present?!? Maybe that gives people hope who have recently seen their site hit...well, we can hope :-)

So then I took a link from one of the parallel railway sites and tried an unrelated phrase that they use in a link within the listed page.

'Better Policies' gets Translink listed Number 2 out of 166 million

[colin_h]

So then I take a page from the top ten which no longer exists and try an unrelated term from a link within the Google cache of that page and low and behold ...

"Discovery Guide" gets firstgreatwestern listed in top ten
