I've been having a look at pokerroom.com and trying to analyse why they have ranked for so long as #1 for online poker room and #1 for online poker.
Yes they do have a lot of backlinks, but then again so do many other sites. However on checking their robot.txt file it seems they disallow all Search Engine Robots from their link partner pages. Meaning anyone trading recip links with them, won't actually get credited with a link back as se bots are not allowed to crawl those pages. So in all intents and purposes they are tricking innocent webmasters into providing 1 way backlinks to them.
In my view this practice is quite unethical. What does anyone else feel about this?
Check out their robot.txt file.
