A few of months ago, I noticed that
www.mesolink.org was ranked no. one for the keyword "mesothelioma". So I go to Yahoo and do a quick backlink search on that domain. It turns out that most of the links for that domain were from counter scripts that pointed back to
www.mesolink.org! Thousands of links and most of them from some free utility script. Needless to say, I filed that bit of info away for later use. However, lately I have noticed that
www.mesolink.org no longer ranks for "mesothelioma", or for many of its other keywords. Is it because of compitition, changes to the index at Google (Yahoo still likes them), or they were outed as link spammers? What do you guys think?
