Quick question,

I'm still learning and researching how Adsense works and all, but I ran across a site today that is ranked number in the google search engine for that topic, but it promotes no kind of Adsense or any ad promotion from other companies. How is this possible? Also, the website has NO design layout whatsoever? I'm not putting down the site, was just wandering how can someone accomplish a high ranking like that without any article content. Check it out:http://www.traveltalkonline.com/
