A website ranking on the first page of Google for a very, very competitive term despite the fact that


* The keyword doesn’t appear even a single time on their homepage
* The keyword isn’t added in their page title
* The keyword isn’t used in their anchor texts
* The keyword just appear once in the Meta keywords


The website I am talking about is www (dot) samsclub.com and the keyword being discussed is “wholesale”.

without delving too deeply I suspect there's probably a powerful 301 or two at work here. is usually the case when you cant find any other simple answer

I doubt there's some redirecting stuff is involved ... that is used mostly for improving your PR ... i don't think you can use redirect to improve your ranking at Search results ...

It DOES have other uses, you know. Like propping up and preserving RANKINGS.

Guys,

Like the author of that blog said, Google gives way to branded names.
Google doesn't rank websites and blogs by PR and Traffic only. It also gives that site a "trust factor" (I don't know if that's the right term for it). When your site is trusted (other than being branded) eventhough if it isn't optimized, you can be at the top spot of that certain keyword. Many sites are like that.

^^ Yes, but why "wholesale" ... what makes it rank for this particular keyword ...
