redirected domain name scores great at the moment

will google eventually discard it?

someone in the same sector as me has bought a domain name which has a tiny bit of link pop and a fantastic keyword content ie redwidgets.org

at the moment this domain contains the following html

this domain has 3 backlinks, 2 pr 5's and a pr4. it has great keywords ie redwidgets.com

it ranks #1 for a 2 word search term with over 1 million competing pages. the target site has very little content. how is this achieved? is a domain with 3 incoming links so popwerful? does this show that domain names still hold great power? I'm just curious.

Grandfather rights? I would have thought that it would drop *dramatically* the next time it's crawled. Click on the "cached" link in Google to see if they are still remembering the old version of the site.

He's not cloaking, is he?

the cached content is the target site for the redirection. the target domain name also has a good keyword content eg redwidgetsrus.com

maybe there is a keyword amplification affect.

I have had the same experience this result has hold for one update period about one month. Then it dropped from 3rd place to second page after next update this site was gone.
It was very curious I have optimized all other sites and they were nowhere. I have given up this domain and it jumped to the top. Good joke Google.
