: How do websites with no content rank so high? I was just searching for, how to close a sim and I got the website (shown below) on the first page of Google. The website does not have the

@Lengel546

I think the king here is the URL
www.boltaconsumer.com/complaints/zong-sim-block#comments11

That directly contains the word

Zong
Sim
Block


the reputation of the site www.boltaconsumer.com is probably good with Google. Genuine traffic across different parts of the country, no spams, the word complaints in URL may also contribute to its high ratings. But I believe it is the URL that is doing the trick.


I saw that it wasn't the only link that was pulled from this site. There were others too which contain sim-block in the URL. That again shows this site has good ratings with Google and the URL does the rest of the trick, although there is nothing in that URL. Hmm there is one thing, the URL contains the exact same problem that you have and it landed you in perfect spot!

Experiment

Now lets say you find solution to this problem and start a blog about it. The chances are your solution will not appear anywhere near the top because your site probably does not have the reputation.

If you feel that a website is ranked well due to heavy spam so you can use following Google tool:
www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport?hl=en support.google.com/webmasters/bin/request.py?contact_type=rich_snippets_spam
But, don't be negative to rank well with your target keywords. There are too many factors to rank well in Google. We can't assume in a second. But, quality always matters. We can notify Google of any spam website.

There is plenty of content on that page. I'm sure there are also many pages on boltaconsumer.com which link to it boosting it's internal links all being mostly relevant. It may or may not have external back links, but when I search zong sim blocked or related searches there are very few sites with those phrases on them.
