Fake SEO Site

[littlesthobo]

What do you think of this site?  This is the top, number ranking site in Halifax, UK.

No authority, no backlinks and high keyword density considering the low amount of content.

Search term is SEO Halifax.

How is it number 1?  There's nothing in it and no user value at all!

Brand new site, how long have you seen that in the top result. A lot of times when a new site emerges Google temporarily does a "hello world" ranking and for a short period of time gives the site good rankings, then it goes away.

The site is of course junk, maybe they are redirecting some other sites to this URL. I don't see any backlinking going on yet.

I agree with Irving. And it is not rare to stumble upon junk sites who are using redirects to boost their ranking.
