Google ranked 4th - How so?

**Freddy** · 17th July 2008

Put 'web design' into Google and it will put down 221 million results. I noticed this site is ranked 4th:

http://futureofwebdesign.com/ - Just images.

Nothing in header to help:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css_holding/main.css" type="text/css" />
<title>Future of Web Design - New York 2008</title>
</head>

Sooooo what gives lol

The domain name will add relevance, lots of inbound one way links from relevant sites (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...G=Search&meta=)

and it's probably viewed as an authority on the subject by Google given it's purpose and past content:

I think you meant http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...G=Search&meta= (without the space between link: and the url)

Still a load of incoming links will certainly help

Just amazed that it holds 4th. I guess that the pages behind the entry page overrides the typical beliefs about how the index should be formed. Interesting.

Thanks chaps.

And suck me LT
