Question about "similar pages"

CaptainJSparrow · 2004-07-19, 04:58 PM

Thanks Baddog...that's not quite what I was getting at.

I'm pretty sure that "Similar pages" is not the same as backlinks/link trades.

I was just wondering if any of the seo's that frequent this board had ever found a use for the information that was provided in the "similar pages" area. I mean, there has to be a reason that Google provides this information. For any search term, the top 10 should be similar so the "similar pages" must be different than that.

If one could determine whether Google wants similar pages ranking next to each other for the appropriate search terms vs Google not wanting the similar pages ranking next to each other to prevent redundancy, it could help in controlling where your site shows up in the serps.

It just seems to me that this information could be useful.

Any thoughts anyone?
