i can't agree with you totally

because noting has become outdated. may be some lost their value live previous days. but not Zero. like Directory submission. Once upon a time we submitted out new born site to 500 directories and got a SERP of 20. but now it can give support till 50. not like before

You might search a keyword and then hit a page that would automatically redirect you to a more polished page. In time, the first page would probably be abolished as the main site became more ensconced in search engines. Not sure Google likest that being done now.

What's the content of the first site? Does it have anything?

From what i remember, the first site was keyword stuffed with all kinds of keywords and articles and such. But the site that it redirected to was a very professional retail shopping site. The first site was very crude looking, three columns but the second site was very slick, flash based. Not sure they use that technique anymore but back five years or so ago, it was common.
