SEO keyword question

Hi,

This site pops up as #1 on google when I search the term Meal Programs. personaltrainerfood.com/orders/order.php#

How is it possible, when they don't mention the words anywhere on the page or in the metatags?

Thanks. This is one of the terms my company wants me to vie for organically, and I find this quite interesting. They don't appear to have a lot of backlinks, certainly not with the anchor words meal programs.

I look forward to your insights.

And the text on the page probably has words around the subject,such as diet and calories,

So essentially it is because it works with Amazon.

I wouldn't give all of the credit to the Amazon back-links, however those are extremely powerful links.

On a related note, a large amount of their back-links appear to come from their personal trainer affiliate program. Since their aff program doesn't obfuscate the url (it only appends an affid), all of the links from their aff program contribute to the rank of their page.

See an example of an affiliate link at top-of page here, with your anchor text included:

This type of program can help build link juice fairly quickly, with a targeted audience.
