Research for "love quotes"

[relientmark]

I'm doing some research for the term "love quotes"

I'm trying to understand why following URL is ranking so high

quote-monster.com/category/love-quotes/

it only has one link?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Where did you find out that it only has one link? The link: operator from Google doesn't return the exact number ... or even a useful number.

But your "research" obviously wasn't too exhaustive, just try to enter the URL on google and it'll return more than one link...

Hi Mark

Check out my answer from this previous question.  It explains how to use the SERP analysis tool and get data as to why a website ranks where it does.

Thanks Dan. I ran a full report and the only metric this site wins on is "mT/mR"

Can you have a quick look at the full report and comment?

I used opensite explorer.

Yes, check it out, it appears OSE has not caught up. That site has a lot of links and they are all recent, see the few screenshots from Majestic SEO.

So what bootleg is saying below is to use some searches in Google or other tools like Majestic to find the location of the backlinks, until OSE catches up.

Great, thanks mate. Making sense now

I thought Google would prevent against this sort quick rising?

No problem

From what I have heard, there is a period of time where you can get a really good rise in rankings from fast backlinking, which might last 30-90 days. But then it will start to regress if a more natural and diverse backlink portfolio is not developed. I believe they allow this window of time to discourage a competitor sabotaging you with a bunch of bad links. Just my own theory though.
