Good Afternoon,

I am looking into learning SEO and one of the sites I came across had several links as follows:
<snipped bunch of links that don't go anywhere>
etc.

this was all listed under a page <snip>

Im trying to understand exactly what this user is doing, and again trying to understand if this is at all helpful.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Observed: a page filled with many anchors that "don't go anywhere" (as reported by ). Possible uses include experiment pages, hidden/js-driven redirects, doorway/link-farm pages, or simply scraped/parked content. 's testing idea and 's spam suspicion are both plausible; 's pointer toward domain/hosting checks is also a sensible investigative angle. Below are focused, practical steps to figure out what you're actually seeing and what it means for SEO.

First, inspect the raw HTML and compare what a human browser sees vs what a crawler sees. Save the page from two user-agents and diff them:

curl -s -A "Mozilla/5.0" https://example.com/page -o page.html
curl -s -A "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)" https://example.com/page -o page-google.html
diff -u page.html page-google.html

Also view-source (Ctrl+U) and search for <a occurrences. Look for href="#", javascript:void(0), data-* attributes, or onclick handlers that perform navigation. Disable JavaScript in your browser or use the Network panel to see if anchors are rewritten client-side.

Common red flags: thousands of identical exact-match anchors, links that only work via JS, anchors pointing to tracking/affiliate parameters, or pages with automated timestamps and similar HTML structure (possible PBN/link-farm). Example patterns to look for:

<a href="#" onclick="location.href='http://target.com'">keyword</a>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" data-url="http://target.com">keyword</a>
<a href="http://target.com" rel="nofollow">keyword</a>

If the page is on your site, remove or noindex unnatural link pages, audit server logs, and harden creation processes for autogenerated pages. If it’s on another site and those links harm you, document them (screenshots + cached copies) and consider a disavow after checking Search Console for manual actions. Avoid copying manipulative tactics—they risk penalties and deliver unstable long-term results.

Well lets just say hes probably got a few thousand on the page. I know him personally and hes very successful, however, he is not the type of person to share his talent :(

Im trying to figure out some of his tricks... what would this be called? how would one go about doing it?
