I just surfed on to the Technorati top 100 5 minutes ago and I noticed this.
Engadget is #2? And number one is WHAT? cururu.jp? … and it has 187 thousand blogs linked to it?
No way. Something’s wrong, and something has to be fixed. Check out the links to the blog.
If not, it will be LITERALLY what is said in the banner. 
Link building is and will always be a slow process, and is accompanied by quality information, and Engadget has done it that way.
This cururu.jp is obviously running a script that is spinning blogs by the second. After a page refresh, I realise another few new blogs are linking to it. Well… they may get some publicity though. Erm… bad publicity? It is noted that all of the incoming links come from the same domain.
Too bad I don’t understand Japanese
Update 2: (20 mins later) Technorati is quick. Engadget is back and Eggplant is nowhere to be seen. Yae! Sometimes I just don’t understand. Where do spam mail and all this kind of weird stuff come from? Do these people really have so much time to spare?
Well… let’s see what happens.

So true! Black hat techniques for SEO don’t last! I’ve posted before – the only way for a site to stay popular across SE algorithm changes is the genuine white hat techniques, and its a slow process.

Hi Kian,
I have also found many faults with Google results also. Sometimes the top search result websites are totally missing or other times found blogs not existing anymore.
Digg users fake diggs by creating a friend circle of bloggers who digg each others stories and get to the top.

There are so many ways to “cheat the system”, and unfortunately, sometimes these tricksters do get their popularity for that short moment. Ugly… but well, that’s the world I guess.
What I think can be done is really for the real community of white hat website designers and SEO specialists to report these fake publicity techniques immediately when we find them… we can only leave the rest to the authority sites themselves to settle.
Thanks for your thoughts Divya!
