Okay, now that I (hopefully) have my Google mess behind me, I thought I'd see if any of the resident seo's can tell me why this site is #1 for as many product pages as they have.
My site sells bodybuilding supplements. If you search for that term you'll see we are back at #1. Up until my traffic power mess, I was also in the top 10 for many serps. HOpefully they'll come back.
But here's the crux: There is a company who sells what we sell. If you search for just bodybuilding on google you'll see them at #1. But they are #1 for virtually every single item I can think of. And if not, they are in the top 10. I mean, we are talking about virtually every product, category, and individual item. It's almost as if a website that sold widgets was #1 for every widget made from every widget manufacturer.
My question is: How is this? And more specifically, are there any SEO's here that can look at this site and possibly see what they are doing? It can't be just text because they, like me and all other retailers, just copy the manufacturers text. They have the usual assortment of HR1's HR2's, their title is good etc. But I do the same on my site as do most of my competitors yet this company seems to have the lock. And I cannot believe that their PR6 is worth that much more than a PR5.
Anyone? I'd be willing to hire someone who could show me how this could be (joking but serious!)
Thanks,
Mike
