How Avvo Manipulates Google?

Thumbtack is not the only one that is doing this. Avvo has been adding keyword links in their Avvo badges for some time now, and this has worked well for Avvo's Google rankings.
Avvo states that adding an Avvo badge to your profile on your web site is part of completing your profile on Avvo. By doing this lawyers are really just adding links to Avvo, not filling out their profiles.
The interesting Google SEO issue is that when you go to get the html code to add the Avvo badge, it includes a keyword follow link that links to an Avvo lawyer listing page for that same keyword. Avvo does not explicitly tell you that you are adding this keyword link to an Avvo listing page when you are getting the code to add a profile badge to your web site (although if you can read html you would see the keyword text and link). But non-technical lawyers, as most lawyers are, who go to the Avvo badge/widget page will think they are just adding a link to their profile.
The Avvo badge is actually rendered in javascript. You can just remove the html keyword spam tag and the text completely from the raw html, and everything in the badge from a user perspective, the graphic, text and the link, still shows up through the javascript. This indicates that the only real purpose of the text link in the raw html is for Google SEO.
This was discussed on the Lawyerist site in a post titled "How the Avvo Badge Promotes Your Competition" (although the real title of the post should have been "How the Avvo Badge Promotes Avvo").
Avvo has been getting topic specific lawyer websites using topic specific lawyer keyword text links to link to topic specific Avvo lawyer listing pages.

Best Bottom Freezers

After spending a couple thousand bucks on a new refrigerator—or more if you spring for a full-featured model—the last thing you want is to deal with repairs. Refrigerators are complex machines with lots of moving parts, especially those with ice and water dispensers. That’s why they have some of the highest repair rates among major appliances, based on Consumer Reports’ surveys of almost 80,000 subscribers. But certain brands have a better track record, so you can help yourself by choosing wisely.

Bottom freezers. If you’re shopping for a bottom-freezer with icemaker, whether conventional or French-door, think twice about models from the Sweden-based manufacturer Electrolux. Its repair rate of 45 percent was significantly higher than that of other brands. You might also want to avoid Frigidaire, owned by Electrolux, since its 35-percent repair rate also stands out for the wrong reasons. Whirlpool and KitchenAid are two more brands with higher-than-average repair rates.

Better bets in the bottom-freezer with icemaker category include GE, LG, Kenmore, and Samsung. Kenmore combines reliability with particularly strong performance among conventional bottom-freezers. The Kenmore Elite 79043, for example, is our top scorer in that category, offering superb temperature control, energy efficiency, and noise. Three models are tied for first in the French-door category: the $2,100Samsung RF261BIAESR, the $2,600 GE Profile PWE23KMDES, and the $3,330LG LFX32945ST. The LG is the only one with a through-the-door ice and water dispenser.

Users can stay connected with the events that are about to happen at the hotel or restaurant. Business owners are able to upload full featured menus on the iPhone application, making it easier for users to view what’s on offer and order.
