It should come as no surprise that Grindstone won, he's the only gay webmaster who represented some big brands at 1 point!!1one!

To celebrate this accomplishment, he will be handing out "lifetime SEO" packages to the first 150 WF members who PM him. But be reasonable, he made it clear that your keyword shouldn't have more than 950,000 exact match monthly searches.
 
How To Come In 5th

I got pretty lazy - after the third day - but I guess everybody else did too - except for those who planned to zoom in at the end. So I did almost everything in the first week or so - and then a little at the end.

I am guessing, that with setup and everything, I spent about 4 hours working on this. I did make $1.67, plus I get to use Cardine's spinner (priceless), so it's not all a loss. :)

  1. I sparingly used accounts from BMR, ALN, Linkamotion, and SocialAdr . I mean I need this stuff to pay bills. I think I did 1 socialadr run to the front page, and a half dozen of everything else.
  2. I submitted the RSS feed around to RSS feed places with a nifty RSS feed submitter thing.
  3. A buddy threw me a link from a couple of private blogs with semi-related content. If this had been a real exercise, for money, I certainly would have pursued more of this. I am considering redirecting the site to my buddy, as payback, but have not really thought about it much.
  4. I also used my free onehourbacklinks credits once for low-end blog comments to the site - and a couple of 2nd tier pages that linked to the site.
  5. I made a crappy squidoo page and threw some crappy backlinks at it.
  6. I submitted an article about something or other to submityourarticle.
  7. I threw in a couple of bookmark runs from DFB to the site - and to my web 2.0 page. I also used DFB to hit everything with limited profile links.
  8. I tried to use internal links well - but then Bofu2u nicely demonstrated that I was so ADD I targetted dog snuggies, instead of dog snuggie - and yes, that makes a difference. So I switched back late in the game. I think that mistake cost something - but it was probably instuctive enough to be worth it.
 
Wright ranked highest in yahoo and bing. Too bad it is not recognized enough.

I actually would like to know how Wright managed to get #2 spot on both Yahoo and Bing.

I never managed to get in the top-10 of these 2 fucked up SEs. (Not that I care, but still curious)
 
I don't want any of the prizes. I was just doing it to fuck around plus I am not technically allowed to win anyway. You guys can give my shit to #3...or #1 or whatever. The only prizes I'd want anyway are nanexo and bofus shit. But I already pay full price for BoFus tool because he is a sketchy queer. And nanexo is only giving his price to the winner (cheater).

good luck bros

P.S. Grindstone is a cheating queer and does "black hat SEO"
