rule #1

[circletimessquare]

rule #1 for search engine optimization:

write an article and submit it to slashdot. once on slashdot, it will rank higher on google.

Efficient way to optimize for engines?

[Jugalator]

Just have your site be focused for the readers, so a good algorithm will then not punish your site for artifical rank pumping. Doh!

+1, Didn't Get The Joke

Re:SEO is BSEO

[nb caffeine]

my website is #1 on google for "nonsensical paragraphs of poorly written prose"

Pretty damn good description of my site too :)

rule #1a

[KNicolson]

rule #1a is if you cannot get your article submitted once (or even twice...) include lots of gratuitous links to your website in any posts you might make here.

rule #2 is deliberately seeding MSN and Yahoo! (Google is immune) with keyword-laden articles - I once managed to accidentally (yeah right!) end up as the top site for "Japanese teen sex" on both these engines, but that's another story.

Ordered List

[__aaitqo8496]

Anyone else find it ironic that they used an unordered list and then stuck letters on each list element instead of using a ordered list?

Okay, I'm just an HTML dork.
