Is anyone familiar with approaches that sites like Facebook downloader are using for ranking in SERP?
Lately, I noticed there is a new service one the #1 position in SERP for keyword "fb download" > https://fbdownload.io/. This site is also on top spots for other similar keyword like: facebook video download, .....
What's more interesting is domain age.
Creation Date: 2018-08-24

Any idea how a domain with less than 500 words can rank so high on such a competitive keyword?
Let me run a check on their backlink profile and post some insight here later...

Probably using a strong linkfarm to boost quickly? I know some guys doing this continously with casino sites. Rank for a short term via not-so-legit wats before they get caught and do the same trick over and over again!
As promised - here's the backlink report I generated using SERPed.net:

Here's the list of the first 1000 backlinks:

It looks like the vast majority of their backlinks are from qdownloader.net - a site-wide link from their menu:

As to how qdownloader.net managed to have such high PR - will post the backlinks profile shortly (waiting the SERPed to generate report).

Nice find!
I like how these simple sites are doing so well.
I used to know a similar one that was an ultimate downloader from all kind of services like YouTube, Vimeo, FB etc.
The guy (Slovakian btw) literally coded it while he was on a long flight.
He was running it on a cheap VPS and banking $30k monthly.

Apparently quite a lot of sites are using their service to download youtube videos and vids from other video sites.
These sites would embed youtube videos on their sites for example, then include a "download video" link which allows visitors to use the qdownloader service to download the videos.
So the "secret" to this site is just that it's a useful service, that sites can only use by including a link back to their site (it's the only way to use the download tool!)

That makes sense ... Their parent webpage qdownloader.net was probably responsible for the initial boost.
Thanks, Amy!
Well. It looks like solid boost from PBN's. No matter which content he has he might get rank easily.
who provides these kind of PBN's ? i need this
good point
but damn building my own pbn ill need to take some online courses as there is 100s of different ways to build pbn network
