Dave Pasternack has upset a few people of late and after his latest Q&A in DMnews Threadwatch have announced a fun little seo contest.
Whoever ranks #1 in Google for Dave Pasternack at noon Eastern on March 1st, 2007 wins $1,000 from Threadwatch. In addition to the $1,000 prize for the top ranking site, Threadwatch will also give away $100 to the most interesting PPC ad running at that time, as voted for by our editors.
On the back of a few of Dave Pasternacks comments such as -
“To be fair, Danny Sullivan said that anything is rocket science if you don’t understand it. Well I don’t know how to bake a cake, but I wouldn’t call such a task “rocket science.” If I really wanted to bake one, I’d buy a cookbook (the Google guidelines) and bake away. Can you imagine bake shops trying to convince everybody that baking a cake is so complicated that it shouldn’t be left to mere mortals? Ridiculous.”
I put together a quick advert.
Has anyone come across any plans to help out the professional chef of the same name as the target of the competition.
Perhaps Aaron should think about asking people to be considerate and that on the cutoff date of the competition all links are all repointed to the chef’s website. The guy is presumably about drop off the rankings for his name without doing anything and actually does earn money from his name. Unlike his namesake that uses a company name.
Just a thought
