Of late after the Panda Update I see sub standard sites ranking. Take an example of www.seobaba.com which is ranking 8th for keyword SEO in Google. What is the reason for this ?

If you check OSE, they have:

• A very high domain/page authority of 61 and 67 respectively.

• They have over 11K inbound links from over 1K linking domains (that is a lot of links)

On page, they have a grade of "A" for the keyword "SEO"

What is sub-standard about this site?

On top of what inhouseseo has said the page itself is ok, I was expecting to see something really spammy but at first glance it seems like a perfectly fine page.

That is what I wanted to emphasize that anyone with a commercial site with lots of illogical pages can manipulate the google rankings. Is this website better than seobook, searchenginewatch, seobythesea etc ?

But you don't know what the other sites are doing. Maybe they are more focused on optimizing for "SEO services" or some other keyword that they think will convert more.

BTW, if you do an onpage analysis for Seobook.com and the term "SEO", they get a C. I haven't looked at their links.

I still don't see what you're fretting about. It seems they have a good site and they are optimizing for the keywords they want to rank for.

Thanks for the reply. I am not fretting about anything but just wanted a reply. Thanks.
