Afternoon All,
i'm looking at the performance of www.bambers-quay.co.uk for a friend - while there are some obivous tweaks to the site that can be done to improve search engine optimisation, i'm a little confused about the back links reported on google. When using the site:www.bambers-quay.co.uk query in google, google is displaying backlinks for several other sites unrelated sites. Is this due to the hosting configuration of the ISP/Web agency?
Any comments and advice appreciated
Cheers
Bongoman

Um. Interesting. I had a look through the DMOZ backlink page. I was checking to see if any of those pages forwarded to yours. They don't. A 301 or meta refresh would have allowed the other URL to count as a backlink for Bambers. (Are we allowed to mention other URLs on this forum?)
Has there been SEO on the site before? You may need to start looking for doorways. It's not impossible that there's a user agent detect based redirect in place. If you're googlebot then you're 301'd to your friends site, otherwise you see the old folks care home page. It's not impossible but highly unlikely unless there's been some seriously dodgy SEO work done.
I really don't think Google could mess up name based addressing. Google links to URLs, not IP addresses, so even if there's a virtual host here that wouldn't explain the weird backlinks.
Has your friend recently purchased the domain name?
