    Thanks for visiting my page Jim. In fact every method is worth trying in a SEO contest. I will use all the ones I know, plus try to find other unknown Google bugs.

    As an example, just have a look at the quote you made from my page. Do you see that the result of your copy/paste is not exactly what you can read on my page? Instead of the contest keyword, it copies the contest keyword... reversed ;)

    TEAM TAGGLE

    The White team of V-E for Celiac Charity welcomes your arrival here - I've been watching you move up in the rankings and I said over in V7N, you guys will be a serious competitor.

    While I realize you guys will be using black-hat approaches, I would ask one favor which is don't do anything against the University of Maryland folks directly - they are just a beneficiary of this contest and not a direct participent, so it would be really, really uncool to screw with them.

    Otherwise, I won't ask you to keep the punches above the belt because ... welllll ... you are the black-hat team. And while you say on your web site "winner we will be... (nice slogan BTW), I'm not worried because I've got a Green Hat that I can ask to do some black-hat SMASHING if need be. Keep us posted on what approaches you guys do and good luck coming in #2.

    P.S. My birthday is Bastille Day ... Viva-La-France!

    Of course Alek. Black hat does not mean bad guys. We won't hurt any website not participating the contest. And we won't target any website used by its webmaster for any other purpose than the contest.
    The worse thing that could happen would be a few contest specific pages being googlewashed for a while.

    Hi Jan and the other Taggle team people.

    It is interesting for me to see the black hat in action - I have never involved in that ...

    I have my contest page as a subpage on my official domain, not a domain only for the contest. So I would not like my domain getting harmed in any way ... would be nice to know that you guys won't smash such domains ...

    Hi all :)

    No stress Jim, we are not crazy (just a little ;) ).
    Googlewashing is bug of Google, but we think Google have solved a part of the problem.

    Take your official domain is a bad idea. Play this kind of contest have risks.
    Without talking about black hat technics, think the seo contest is a very great labs for Google and its guys to see new tricks and try to figth against.

    Maybe, Google is boring by seo contest, and Matt himself will push the button to eject all our websites of the competition .. :(

    I bet you they're actually having fun watching this at Google. It doesn't effect the regular search results and everyone is chasing the same keyterm. It's like holding a mirror in front of them and pointing out what is wrong with them, but in a fun way.

    Same with me. I have it as a domain.com/sub-page-here and not as a domain or subdomain itself. We'll see how it goes. If my domain gets harmed, it won't be that big of a deal because it doesn't drive that much traffic, but we'll see how it goes....
