Can You Outrank Big Sites? Yes. Here's Proof.
I was recently looking for a Nutribullet Review and came across some really interesting Google results I wanted to share. This guy that is ranked #1 has a very simple website that outranks everyone else, even the "big sites" that everyone fears, Amazon, YouTube, news outlets, and even the exact match domain website.
From my research, it looks like his website has been running for just about two and a half years. He looks like a normal type dude, and also notice that his website is SUPER SIMPLE. It's just a blog on Genesis Framework, with a white background and black text. He is using a simple static home page. Nothing fancy.
He is currently outranking
This is exactly the kind of website you are building here at Wealthy Affiliate.
So yeah, you can outrank anybody in the search engines, even as a totally average blogger.
Update 2019: Now I have website that does it too! There was some speculation in the comments here if the guy was using backlinking techniques, but I was able to achieve the same results, without any backlinking at all! >>> Proof
...just took me 4 years to do it LOL

Thanks for sharing this.

What do you think of this? I put his domain into this http://siteexplorer.info and found so many interesting details, it has backlink Information for domain:http://juicingdietworks.com.
http://siteexplorer.info/domain/juicingdietworks.com
(Must put the domain name again and the security code into this siteexplorer site to get the details)
So interesting, is that how he outrank all those big sites? :))
Pretty much yes. Some of those links are directories. Others are sites that he will either own or will have paid for links on.
Eg polkadotted.com - you'll see it looks like a normal site and has articles about health foods. The articles link to different sites. But the polkadotted.com domain is an old domain with authority, so links from it have a lot more 'power' than from a normal site.
It's what's called a PBN site. It exists to help rank another site.
If you do look at your competitors who are at the top of SERPs back link profile on siteexplorer.com you'll find they have similar links. ( Although there are ways of hiding the visibility of these links - to stop people finding out how many & the quality of the links a site has.)
Thank you for the inspiration and information Nathaniell! I guess that this is proof that you don't have to be one of the "big-boys" with the fancy ten-thousand dollar + designed website complete with bells and whistles to be ranked #1 in Google within a niche. It's all about publishing highly relevant content based often while using a simple no-thrills theme design. It's the content that counts not all of the "other" stuff, (completely useless) - an educational lesson that Kyle attempts to come across to members in the training!
Awesome stuff!!

That is great! Any idea if this is a WA member? The site looks set up exactly the way Kyle teaches in his tutorials.
Yes, I didn't notice one either, but I have seen many members with non-WA promoting niches that don't include any info on WA on their sites. I thought maybe that was the case with this site.
