      Hi SEO specialists,

      I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but there is something bugging me for awhile now, so I thought let's give it a try. I work for several clients and one of them works in the Psychic business. Since a few months we see that site from Psychicvop.com is taking over all kinds of top rankings in Google. The strange thing is that I can't detect anything that I always learned which is basic material for SEO. There isn't much content and there link profile isn't really spectacular either. Does any of you have an idea what it is about this sites that makes them outrank every other site in the business?

        This question is very simple to answer and completely outside of the normal way of doing SEO. It's the psychic ability and control coming from the Magic Oracle which is pushing the website to the top of Google!

        Regards

        Nigel

          Hi Stefan,

          Have you look at link profile? SEM rush shows 58 back links. Also there is paid traffic. Are you sure your not mistaken high rankings for paid ads? Spiritual Channelers is a top paid keyword for them.

          Also traffic in general can increase organic rankings. There are metrics that you cannot see such as time on page and how many pages views. This is the inadvertent bonus to paid traffic.

          Thanks,

          Don Silvernail

            Hi Don,

            Thanks for your reply!

            I've used CognitiveSEO for the linkprofile and I did saw some backlinks. I haven't mistaken Organic rankings with Paid traffic. I will take a look at their linkprofile according to Semrush.

            Funny thing is: a big part of the 58 links are redirects from their old domain.

            Thanks again for your help!

            Best,
            Stefan
