: What dodgy scams are there to get to the top of Google searches? I was speaking to a relative and they mentioned that the designer/developer who produced their site had a way of getting them

I was speaking to a relative and they mentioned that the designer/developer who produced their site had a way of getting them to the first page of google, I did advise him that this could be potentially dodgy and if he's not using legit SEO techniques then you could get thrown out.

So what dodgy packages are there at the moment that he could be using, because from the look of the site and the number of orders it's taking, I really can't see how it could've organically risen to the top.

Any ideas?

They are probably using a 'Link farm' of some sort. Paying to have other websites link to their website.

"Dodgy scams" as you call them are called "Black Hat SEO Techniques" you can search for examples on google such as:
