Buy Viagra from RedditJul 20 2007 | SEO, Social Networks |
Arguably one of the most competitive niches online is pharmeceuticals (pills). There are a couple of key searches that it is a good idea to always keep an eye-on to see how the search engines are handling them. The more competitive of a niche, the more innovative & risky strategies you are likely to see.
One such search is buy Viagra. Typically the top 10 is filled with .edu sites but Google has pruned a lot of them out and currently there is only one left. So who’s ranking high now? Social network Reddit.
The #2 result is for Reddit “user” buy_viagra_online. Still need more evidence of the authority power of major social networks?

Looks like it’s not only Reddit that they’re after.

Good call Tamar - also look at Topix at position #4 & 5 (classified pages)…

It’s so coincidental that I was just explaining the idea of parasitic hosting and the “Buy Viagra” example to a client this morning. The funny thing was that I noted this result, but hadn’t had time to look into it more (at the time). Nice find!

Interesting read. The power of social bookmarking too has tipped the scales for grey hat SEO.
