To Alan – He may have picked a phrase and stated he was seeing if he could get there, but the original post is right – a lot of the links ARE spammy. The point also that it’s somehow an “easy” phrase because its supposedly obsure, I also wouldn’t agree – for example he is competing against a number of other sites with partial or exact keyword matches in their domain name, which he doesn’t have – so he has done well, but in a very dodgey manner!
