    I feel like such a fool, I CAN'T DO NUMBER 4!!! If not this, then it must be......WHAT?! What must it be?? This is killing me, people have said number 4 is easy. I've been stuck on it for so long, are there any other hints anyone can give me without giving it away completely? In fact, if someone wants to private message me telling me what the solution is, that would be appreciated, I'm past the point of caring about working it out for myself, I just want to know the damn answer!

    i m also on q4. really dont know where to put the answer. surely it will go in the address bar but it is really getting annoying.

    ok i have tried some of them
    i tried 404
    i tried dofollow
    i tried must-be-this-page
    i tried next-page
    i tried previous-page
    i tried must-be


    getting frustrated.

    Yeah, that's the kind of angle I've been trying to work as well, it doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. The hints I've read say not to look into it too much and that it's an easy one, the recurring hint being, "sorry, if it's not this, then it must be...." but I'm completely stumped. It must be an extension on the URL though, there's nothing else it can possibly be......

    I've tried like everything:
    unique, content, traffic, sitemap, sitemaps, xml, php, permalinks, permalink etc.

    It covers black hat techniques. So to be a true SEO master you need to be able to spot them

    No, that goes back to #4 for some of those trying to get caught up.

    I could not even get passed the first question. I am starting to see clients running for the doors. Oh no! Are all my competitive keyword rankings going to drop? Do I feel like an SEO drop out. Maybe it is just a stupid test that means nothing...

    Just perhaps the ability to creatively approach SEO requires an inquiring mind, creativity, and the ability to puzzle things out?

    Then again, maybe it's just a way to while away the time. I tend to do the sudoku in the paper on my lunch every day...
