Over the last week it appears Realestateview has launched itself up the Google search results for the term "real estate" now ranking number 2 behind Realestate.com.au. Domain which was number 2 has now been pushed down to the 4th result below PropertyNow.com.au

This is quite alarming for Domain and they would surely be seeking answers to why this has happened. Could this be due to a blunder by the Domain SEO team resulting in Google punishing them?

What's interesting is, that Page Rank doesn't appear to be influencing rankings too much as Realestate (PR=8), Realestateview (PR=6), PropertyNow (PR=5) and Domain (PR=8).

Could it be that Google have changed their algorithm and this has affected the results. Perhaps using the terms "realestate" and 'property" have more weighting now than before. That said Realestate1 don't appear on the first page.

Anyway, it would be great to hear from some SEO gurus. Andrew B any ideas?
