Interesting Observation of some rankingsc

[waqid]

Had a potential client contact me the other day about his site being penalized by the big panda. A few days later he tells me that his current SEO copied his site over to a new domain name via 301 redirect.

Its been a week and he's ranking for search terms as though nothing has happened. He was not ranking anywhere near page 1 (with his old domain name) before this redirect.

Im curious if anyone has experienced the same anomaly. Surely he will drop once the next ranking update comes.... right?

Nobody has any input aye?

Looks like they are still ranking. This is a very odd tactic. Waiting on any input .
