The beloved blogger just won an international search engine placement contest with a single post to his blog.
Sweeeeeeet!
The organizers of an international search engine placement contest crowned their champion Wednesday. In the end, the victor was a popular blogger who got his readers to do his work for him.
Anil Dash won the second, and final, round of the two-month SEO Challenge, which called on webmasters and site owners to use any method at their disposal to score the top Google ranking for a made-up term, “nigritude ultramarine.” Read story.
Dash comments on his victory… “A page that’s read by people instead of robots is going to do better”
