Does SMX know how they rank?Ever wondered what competition SMX has? More than you think maybe. At least when you look at the search results... I wonder if SMX knows about this searchresult...?

Linkbuilding outside of the box ...0 comments The third session of the first day is about linkbuilding. It is one of the most time consuming and difficult elements of SEO, so the room was packed with people dying to know more on how to easily get more links.
Linkbuilding is wrong
Andrew Girdwood is up first and start with a slide that says: "Link building is wrong". Andrew proceeds and explains that we, if we look at it objectively, are making a mess of the online landscape with our poor attempts to gain links and keep gaining links. ...... read more

There appears to perhaps been some link injection on a variety of SEO sites that has bombed this up. We were alerted to it last night have have reported it to Google.

We also just learned that it appears the SMX site got hacked and redirected over. We're fixing that now.

I noticed it for an SMX query last night too, seems very strange - although hacking would definitely explain it.
Hopefully it will get fixed quickly in Google too.

Good luck on de-hijacking the site Danny

It dosn't look like a very smart strategy from dupedb.com people searching for the real SMX still easily find it (as number 2) and dupedb.com just looks crappy. How can that be good for them?
Also, if you really want to hack a site (which I do not ecommend) hacking an SEO site is probably the dummest.

@Mikkel, maybe its not about getting to the number one position, but a way of getting attention? Maybe they want to prove something?

It was user-agent 301 Google and Bing which Bing may have caught in time to not have rankings affected. Google will have to untie itself eventually, although listings decay at Google for my own query hasn't properly sorted nearly a year later, (they still house my contested IP for example).
It's the hazard Google has by making search divorced from human intervention except delete, which they don't do nearly often enough in my opinion. I think it's DNS Cache Poisoning, all but confirmed now. I agree that it's perhaps only done for spite and not gain. Which is troll-like in attitude. I have one spectacular img I sent to Michelle, Danny and Matt last night which I can still see in a specific browser this morning.

You know what's better than DNS Cache Poisoning? Buying admin usernames and just logging in. Oh no!
