    Let's say a competing website has the domain greatwidgets and you run bestwidgets, what do you 'spose would happen in the SERPS if a person was to target the anchortext 'great widgets' for links to bestwidgets? Think with enough BL's you could blow greatwidgets out of the #1?

    Yep... totally depends on the phrase. But given an infinite number of resources, you could beat anything. You could beat www.google.com for "Google" if you had enough links.

    I have removed a local competitor for a small geo targetted term for their company name. They screwed a client I referred to them, so I now get most of their traffic...

    So it's not a completely new idea, a few slightly competing sites I'm considering blowing away just for S&G's. Looking at their current indexed pagecount and backlinks they are small beans. But should be good for a laugh or two, not to mention the 'piss'em off' value.

    Going after google could be a fun project with enough people's aid we could probably do it for a little while anyhows. ;)

    Come on PR update! Being stuck at the cap for coop weight/PR for too long now.

    Isn't that what it's all about? I get a nasty gram at least weekly from competing forums and sites that have been around for years and years, wanting to know what the hell I've done to manage to steal away #1 ranking for all of what they claim WERE dozens of 'their keywords' hahahhaha from an itty bitty little forum that has only been running for 6 months. Now to really piss'em off and try to steal away top ranking for their targeted domain name driven keywords. No profit from this venture, just for fun, but long term, build it up big enough were I can use it to power up some real $$$ making ventures later.

    Judge - "Baillif please gag Dakar so he'll quit antagonizing the plaintiffs and read the complaint" LOLOLOL

    Thanks folks you were indeed correct, site jumped from no placement to #3 for the targetted domain name, which currently holds #1 and #2, but I see this as a very temporary arrangement with G. This is way too much fun :)

    I hate the term "stealing". I like to look at it as me know more about SEO than most of my competitors.
