Later that day, it somehow got turned into a Mahalo question (I didn't submit it). I thought it was interesting that Jason himself commented on it, but it still seemed strange.
Now, when you google "Woot.com for travel" or "Woot for travel", that Mahalo page comes up on position 1 or 3.
- vaksel 17y agothat's the beauty of authority sites, you can rank for stuff just by mentioning them once.
- javery 17y agoThis is the flaw in how Google does things that competitors need to exploit. Authority should be more topic based then site-wide.
- vaksel 17y agoyeah I remember reading a blog a few days ago, it was a PR8, and the guy did an experiment. Just added a link for something viagra related. Just a single link. And within a week he managed to get on a front page in Google results.

- siong1987 17y agoActually, I am more interested on how that idea goes?
- callmeed 17y agoStill just an idea. I've considered applying to YC with it but I can't devote 100% of my time to it. Plus my contacts in the travel industry are slim. I know some people at 1 boutique hotel chain but that's about it.
