How to win an SEO competition

Filed Under Black Hat SEO 

Many people asked and even used the I double triple dare you to join a recent SEO competition. I refused claiming that it was a ridiculous concept to “prove yourself” while getting in Google’s radar. If I was to join in the competition though this would be the strategy I would use to win the competition.

The competition has a basic rule.

The goal is simple to rank for a keyword no matter what right?

Here is the 4 steps to victory.

1-Create a blog post within your blog with the title tag being the desired keyword.

2-Install SEO for Firefox Plugin (thank you Aaron Wall for the best plugin ever)

2-”enable commentluv” (copy paste the command in the left to the google toolbar in your firefox browser with the SEO extension switched on). The goal is to identify blogs that use the commentluv plugin with dofollow tendencies.

3- Go down through the list and leave really nice and thoughtful comments on the blogs that do not have red highlights. Some people remove the dofollow capability of the commentluv by removing the below line from the plug in (thus the SEO for firefox plugin step)

remove_filter(’pre_comment_content’, ‘wp_re l_nofollow’).

4- It will probably take you a while but a weekend of commenting in blogs should get you the coveted #1 spot in any SEO competition in addition to the extra bonus of a few hundreds links to your blog (if the commentluv is in a dofollow blog, you get the extra bonus of getting a link to the blog’s homepage.

    Good idea…but is this considered a black hat seo?

    Technically yes, in real life not for now, but cant guarantee the future. That is why I would never be involved in an SEO competition.

    Nice article, however why aren’t you using commentluv?

    No way this is blackhat (IMO)… it’s more just clever linkbuilding. Nothing wrong with it

    OK - will try this tip; I suspect it is going to work anyhow on long tail keywords only without Comment Luv. Just make sure you ping list is extensive!

    I thought that when you use the SEO FireFox extension that the red highlighted links were the ones that were do-follow or am I just reading all of this wrong?

    Yes, I agree this is just linkbait. But it is a good strategy!
