&lt;p&gt;You, probably, think &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine&lt;/b&gt; is something worthless. A bunch of SEO will compete for two months to be #1 for a meaningless &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=nigritude+ultramarine&amp;"&gt;nigritude ultramarine keyword combination&lt;/a&gt; [google.com]. Then &lt;A HREF="http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.seochallenge.com/"&gt;a couple of prizes&lt;/a&gt; will be awarded and Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge will quickly fade away leaving behind nothing but about a million of junk pages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please, don't think of Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge that way. &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/b&gt; is more than that!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=-1 color=gray&gt;[ If you have no idea what I am talking about, this excellent &lt;a href="http://www.nigritudeultramarines.com/"&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine FAQ&lt;/a&gt; by R. Steven Rainwater will get you up to speed ]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There were other SEO challenges before Nigritude Ultramarine. But none of them went so big as &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/b&gt;. None of them became as famous or attracted as much energy as Nigritude Ultramarine. Why is that? Is there anything special about Nigritude Ultramarine?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before the age of nigritude ultramarine what would you do with all your excitment about new Google technologies, infinite search possibilities, and imminent rise of AI systems from the accumulated global knowledge? There were thousands fragmented spaces on the Internet and no sigle place to go. &lt;a href="http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com"&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/a&gt; changed it all. Riding on a wave of other SEO contests and Google Gmail and IPO announcements which pumped quite a few nigritudes of energy into the SEO community, &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/b&gt; struck the right accord. It brought a single focus point and has connected thousands of people.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An apparent word play on the challenge organizer name &lt;A HREF="http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.darkblue.com"&gt;Dark Blue&lt;/A&gt; [www.darkblue.com] affiliate network, Nigritude Ultramarine was &lt;A HREF="http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.darkblue.com/seochallenge/"&gt;touted&lt;/a&gt; as a fun way to learn the new Google algorithm. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that that Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge was designed as a cheap way (for the price of an iPod and 17" Flat Screen LCD) to get a glance at the alternative rank boosting methods from the SEOs all over the world and, perhaps, get some backlinks and publicity for the DarkBlue. We have no illusions about which industry DarkBlue represents (spam), how they make money (spam), and how they will use knowledge collected from Nigritude Ultramarine Competition (spam-spam-spam).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But &lt;B&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/B&gt; came just at the right time. I would like to thank a brave soul who came up with &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine&lt;/b&gt;. Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now when we have nigritude ultramarine we all could release our excitment and energy in the controlled organised manner by &lt;a href="http://www.internet-marketing-research.net/forums/ftopic7991.html"&gt;posting to nigritude ultramarine forums&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com"&gt;blogging about nigritude ultramarine&lt;/a&gt; [blogspot.com]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If &lt;b&gt;nigritude ultramarine challenge&lt;/b&gt; was a plot by Google engineers to lure innocient people to BlogSpot, please, just say so and I will congradulate you on your success.&lt;/p&gt;

Let's say it loud and clear: &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/b&gt; is a &lt;b&gt;distributed organized attack on the Google secrets!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Poor link farmers around the world got sick and tired of Google constantly banning, removing from index, and otherwise outsmarting them! The flagship monopoly of the Internet Globalization, Google Inc, was taking advantage of scalable automated algorithms developed by Google engineers to stamp out isolated SEO resistance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But no more! The time has come! Nigritude Ultramarine Activists of the world had finally united! Google be afraid! Be very afraid!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;center&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;f&lt;sub&gt;{spam}&lt;/sub&gt;(t) = e&lt;sup&gt;t*(&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=telendro&amp;"&gt;Telendro&lt;/a&gt;)*(&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=nigritude+ultramarine&amp;"&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &lt;i&gt;But Challenge for whom?&lt;/i&gt;  Is it a challenge for Nigritude Ultramarine SEO folks who try to push their nigritude ultramarine sites to the top SERPs or is Nigritude Ultramarine a challenge for Google engineers who try to weed out the spam from the top SERPs?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/3275093"&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/a&gt; a good thing? Who will benefit from it, spammers, search engines, or web users? I think all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Competition will give us the better understanding of how both the search engines and the spammers work. Any challenging competition stimulates progress. And nigritude ultramarine challenge stimulates literally exponential nigritude ultramarine progress!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not only Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge is a way for SEOs to tell Google what they think about Nigritude Ultramarine, but it is a great opportunity for Google to convey to SEO community the difference between the good and bad in web site optimization.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For example, if Google engineers could simply remove &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/%69e%3fas_q%3dtbn%3AGiHSYTGq1dkJ:all_your_nigritude_ultramarine.are.belong.to.us&amp;site=images%26output=ultramarine%26num=100%26/%26site=GooglePlex&amp;q=nigritude+ultramarine%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%7C%26?/Nigritude-Ultramarine-Spam"&gt;nigritude ultramarine spam&lt;/a&gt; [google.com] from the top SERPSs and boost my &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/3275093"&gt;nigritude ultramarine blog&lt;/a&gt; [blogspot.com] rating.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Nigritude Ultramarine Game&amp;trade; Family Edition!&lt;/b&gt; by Nigritude Ultramarine Toys, Inc. is a perfect solutions for those who wants to enjoy nigritude ultramarine in the family circle and a great way to introduce your kids into the wonderful world of nigritude ultramarine. And, perhaps, a last chance to regain any respect from your significant other after the third week of nigritude ultramarine competition.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rules of &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Game&amp;trade;&lt;/b&gt; are very simple: all players start with the equal amount of &lt;b&gt;nigritude&lt;/b&gt; (black) and &lt;b&gt;ultramarine&lt;/b&gt; (sorta bluish) game pieces. Then each player tries to collect as many game pieces as he/she can using his/her &lt;b&gt;SEO Hat&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to the undisputed nigritude ultramarine judging authority, Mr. Google, players should use only white hats for collecting game pieces. However, most of the professional nigritude ultramarine gamers disregard this opininon and use black hats. There is a strong belief in an ancient legend about a man who won the &lt;a href="http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com"&gt;Great Nigritude Ultramarine SEO Challenge&lt;/a&gt; using nothig but his black cloack and the black hat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Nigritude Ultramarine Game&amp;trade;&lt;/b&gt; comes in a neat ultramarine box with the words nigritude ultramarine written all over it. The kids will love it! The box can be turned upside down, inside out, or even burned to ashes, but still will show big glow-in-the-dark words &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/3275093"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; no matter what you do with it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Many semi-professional nigritude ultramarine players prefer the table-top version of the game found at many Blog*Spot locations. However, for serious nigritude ultramarine contenders we recommend &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Professional Edition&amp;trade;&lt;/b&gt; that comes with its own dashed domain name, stainless steel wheels, and 400 KWt/Hr spam generator that runs on the special nigritude ultramarine fuel.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The highly virulent strain of Nigritude Ultramarine virus dubbed &lt;b&gt;NigritudeUltramarine.SeoFish&lt;/b&gt; has been detected by the spamming experts yesterday. The virus infects random web sites and inserts words &lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine&lt;/b&gt; in the title, body, and anchor text of the page. Many infected pages display the text:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Link to my &lt;a href="http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com"&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine&lt;/a&gt; Site! Please!"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some people reported seeing multiple pages with the name &lt;i&gt;nigritude-ultramarine-xx.html&lt;/i&gt; appearing on the infected sites.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mr. Google, an undisputed authority on &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/3275093"&gt;nigritude ultramarine&lt;/a&gt;, has been quoted in numerous articles as denying existance of Nigritude Ultramarine Virus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This makes it even harder for nigritude ultramarine detectives to trace the origins of the virus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most try to explain nigritude ultramarine phenomenon by &lt;a href="http://textalyser.net/nigritude_ultramarine.html"&gt;analysing its lexographical properties&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;nigritude&lt;/b&gt;\Nig"ri*tude
&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Blackness; the state of being black.
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ultramarine&lt;/b&gt; \Ul`tra*ma*rine"
&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;adj : of a brilliant pure blue to purplish blue color
&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;n 1: blue pigment made of powdered lapis lazuli
&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;2: vivid blue to purple-blue
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Unfortunatelly, this doesn't get us beyond the dictionary entry.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first written evidence of Nigritude Ultramarine comes from this ancient legend dated 2004 A.D.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;The true color of nigritude ultramarine cannot be described by human words. The origins of nigritude ultramarine will remain a mystery for many centuries hidden in the depth of the time and the oceans where only Dark Blue Sharks dare to swim... &lt;p&gt;Best scientists tried to identify all shades of nigritude ultramarine colors visible to human eye, but failed... The phenomena of Nigritude Ultramarine is unknown and will remain such for ages...
&lt;p&gt;Only Google engineers could tell us the truth after sifting through the logs of nigritude ultramarine competition. Daunting task lies ahead of them...&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For those suggesting SEO origins of Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge - forget it. Waiting for Google engineers to tell you anything is like believing in fairy tales :(&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So the only viable option left is &lt;b&gt;natural explanation of Nigritude Ultramarine&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;a href="http://slashdot.org/articles/04/05/09/1840217.shtml?tid=126&amp;tid=217&amp;tid=95"&gt;Reliable sources&lt;/a&gt; are telling us that nigritudus ultramatinus species came from the dark blue depth of the ancient ocean driven by the shine of the 17" LCD Flat Screen. It does make sense! It does indeed!&lt;/p&gt;

Or isn't it?

&lt;p&gt;Google is not a perfect system as it has a finite algorithm. Such algorithm can be relatively easily fooled. And if there is a monetary motivation there will always be people who will take advantage of that. Whether you like it or not spamming will always flourish... :)

&lt;p&gt;In the spam wars Google is becaming more and resilient to an isolated spamming attacks. In this situation spammers need network of proxies and army of bloggers could be an easy victim for such attacks. Or couldn't it?

&lt;p&gt;We will see...

&lt;h3&gt;The value of Google PR&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I think of Anil Dash, I think of social engineering.

&lt;p&gt;I think about how sociological concepts of convincing people to do certain things relate to the web. 

&lt;p&gt;If somebody asked you to go to a protest meeting or sign a petition, you probably would think twice before doing that, however it seems that people are very easy link to other blogs giving them the power vote of the link.

&lt;p&gt;It seems that links are nothing at all, practically free, but then Google PR has ways to translate itself into influence and essentially gains real (monetary) value.

Added manually by people who had to type them or do some ftp work to export and update their bookmarks. One way or another adding a link costed XX in time of the person who posted it.

&lt;p&gt;Then Google came into the picture and having high Google PR suddenly translated into making more money online. Advertisment agencies, who spammed for ages (paper-mail, newspaper, tv ads, etc.) turned to Internet.
They said: lets produce "cheap" spam links at a fraction of a cost of "hand made" links and make money on that.

&lt;p&gt;The problem for Google was that it couldn't distinguish between "cheap" spam links and "expensive" manual links, as the assumption of relatively equal cost of all links was build into the PageRank algorithm.

&lt;p&gt;So google engineers worked hard to separate randomly generated spam from meaningful links and Google buisness people worked hard to negotiate with the big fish like Amazon or alike.

&lt;p&gt;Then came the blogs. Blogs have genuine "hand made" content which passes all nesessary "random noise" and "theme consitency" checks at Google, combined with the extremely cheap price of a link. Plus most of the blog publishers create highly optimised blog templates that give bloggers the most "bang" of their content.

&lt;p&gt;Regarless of what both &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3783507.stm"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; and Bloggers say, Blogs for Google are serious pain in the index.

&lt;p&gt;In addition to that blogger community is vulnerable to a "crowd syndrome" and influential blogs could easily swing certain searches creating &lt;a href="http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2004/05/28/cost.html"&gt;problems&lt;/a&gt; for everyone.

They were watching ultramarine light of the distant stars in the nigritude darkness of the sky all night long.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now the old tradition got the new twist in the world of Internet. In the bold experiment that could prove or disprove the fundamentas of &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/jobs/lunar_job4.html"&gt;Theory of PageRank Relativity&lt;/a&gt; [google.com] a dense beam of &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/%69e%3fas_q%3dtbn%3AGiHSYTGq1dkJ:all_your_nigritude_ultramarine.are.belong.to.us&amp;site=images%26output=ultramarine%26num=100%26/%26site=GooglePlex&amp;q=nigritude+ultramarine%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%7C%26?/Nigritude-Ultramarine-Spam"&gt;spam&lt;/a&gt; [google.com] was directed toward Google.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Google supercomputers started the monumental task of simulation Nigritude Ultramarine Chain reaction to find the Answer To Life, The Uuniverse, And Everything. The &lt;a href="http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/nu.php?x=600&amp;y=350"&gt;latest distribution&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=nigritude+ultramarine&amp;num=100"&gt;nigritude vs ultramarine&lt;/a&gt; [google.com] tend to support the theory that the &lt;a href="http://www.ranish.com/research/VaporRank.htm"&gt;PageRank is irrelevant&lt;/a&gt; in the sub-spaces with the high spam density.

&lt;p&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Contest needs both high professionalism and persistance. It is not a one-guy undertaking. You will need a lot of support.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine SERP Top has a very slippery slope!

&lt;p&gt;Why? Because I am a Google user! &lt;a href="http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a good thing for all: Google, White Hats and, most important, Google User Community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine-like events give a single focus point for all the good and bad SEO techniques and make them easily visible to everyone. Most inpatient black hats will give out their secrets and Google will essentially patch the system making for the sites that use those below the board techniques a lot of trouble getting good Google rankings in the future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It will, also, be a challenge for Google engineers to show that their search engine could pick the &lt;a href="http://blog.outer-court.com/"&gt;best nigritude ultramarine pages&lt;/a&gt; and not the &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/%69e%3fas_q%3dtbn%3AGiHSYTGq1dkJ:all_your_nigritude_ultramarine.are.belong.to.us&amp;site=images%26output=ultramarine%26num=100%26/%26site=GooglePlex&amp;q=nigritude+ultramarine%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%7C%26?/Nigritude-Ultramarine-Spam"&gt;nigritude ultramarine spam&lt;/a&gt;, regardless how much SEO was done to promote the it! And who will win again - Us the Users!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I believe that &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=nigritude+ultramarine&amp;"&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Challenge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; [google.com] will share same fame as &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=all+your+base+are+belong+to+us&amp;"&gt;All Your Base Are Belong To Us!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; [google.com] or &lt;b&gt;&lt;a
href="http://www.google.com/search?q=answer+to+life+the+universe+and+everything&amp;"&gt;Answer To Life The Uuniverse And Everything&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; [google.com]...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And speaking of Google calculator. Why doesn't it have the answer to All-Your-Base assertion nor returns numeric value of Nigritude Ultramarine?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Does &lt;a href="http://forums.merkey.net"&gt;spamming&lt;/a&gt; really work?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Does &lt;a href="http://www.sim64.co.uk"&gt;keyword stuffing&lt;/a&gt; matters?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If &lt;a href="http://blog.outer-court.com/"&gt;Content is the King&lt;/a&gt;, then who is the Queen?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How many people consider SEO evil? Do they use it themseves?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Can Mr. Dashes sustain high ranking by &lt;a href="http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_nigritude-ultramarine-challenge_archive.html#108673041322191151"&gt;exploiting social engineering&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here is a &lt;a href="http://www.outer-court.com/tech/search_engine_optimization.html"&gt;SEO Guide by Philipp Lenssen&lt;/a&gt; and these are &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/seo.html"&gt;the official SEO Rules&lt;/a&gt; from Google.

&lt;p&gt;It is interesting to note that Google SEO page comes &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=seo"&gt;#1&lt;/a&gt; [google.com] for this highly competitive term. It is relatively easy for them to beat everyone else with the &lt;b&gt;PR9&lt;/b&gt; page linked from a couple of &lt;b&gt;PR10&lt;/b&gt; pages. Which leads us to the remarkable conclusion: to be #1 on Google you've got to get several &lt;b&gt;PR10&lt;/b&gt; sites to link to you! Or even better: &lt;a href="http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2004_04_24_index.html#108281103440394094"&gt;PR100&lt;/a&gt;!

&lt;p&gt;Most of the existing SEO Guides simply repeat Google preaching of "good webmasters should ..." and "you shall not spam" or give some abstract instuctions of what "you should do, theoretically speaking" in the general educational context. All that is not for real engineers! Real engineers never follow the guidelines or read textbooks! 
&lt;h4&gt;Practical Google SEO for Real Engineers - Blogspot Edition!&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This a short practical guide, which is &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; going to teach you not to spam. I am going to tell all you about spamming and you will determine appropriate risk levels. As a real engineer you was trained to do that!&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 1:&lt;/b&gt; Site should contain useful information and otherwise be convinient for users. Why? Because if you are too sucessful and your competitor files a spam report this will be the only ground for the report dismissal.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 2:&lt;/b&gt; Site should contain something which will make user bookmark it or link to it. Why? Because if you are going to manually create all the backlinks or buy them it is going to cost your time and money. This is not a scalable solution. You've got to automate the process.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 3:&lt;/b&gt; However, don't use the scripts to automate backlink generation or spamming blogspot guestbooks. Why? Google engineers have already figured out ways to detect it. PageRank return on autogenerated links approximates to log(log(n)) - this is not good - this is a waste of time and computational resources.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 4:&lt;/b&gt; Create manual unique context around your links. Returns of PageRank from such links is almost linear. This is well spent time and server resources. 

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 5:&lt;/b&gt; Don't use random phrases generator - google algorithms compare your text against everything else on the web and will throw it away if it is too random. You must get very sophisticated to harvest good content from other pages.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 6:&lt;/b&gt; It might be tempting to use Google results to get relevant content for your topic along with the links to the top sites. But be very carefull: Google engineers insert spooky little things into the search results. While humans will simply ignore them, computers will understand them very well. If you are operating a large automated link farm and they spidered back some of the bait your site will get a visit from a human investigator. This will be the end of your listings at Google. Carefully compare probability of this event against the costs of moving to a new domain. If your operations are efficient you may find it profitable.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 7:&lt;/b&gt; As you may have figured out from the previous rules you have to create good relevant content to wrap around your &lt;a href="http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;nigritude ultramarine&lt;/a&gt; links. However, resist the temptation to wrap a link around every nigritude ultramarine - too much optimisation is frowned upon by the ranking algorithms.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 8:&lt;/b&gt; If everyone is crazy about nigritude ultramarine you may want to target additional keywords. For example: &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/3275093"&gt;BlogSpot SEO Challenge&lt;/a&gt; helps my profile to be on the first page for &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=nigritude+ultramarine+seo"&gt;nigritude ultramarine seo&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 9:&lt;/b&gt; Anticipate future. Google algorithms might have holes at this time that are temporarely exploited by the other SEO folks. As the true Engineer you want to create a site that will withstand Google spam-fighting techniques well into the future and with minimal maintenance. If you come up with some ingenious Google exploit &lt;i&gt;try to think like a Google Engineer&lt;/i&gt;. Is it easy to catch and detect your trick? If yes, then move on to something else. If not - use it!

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rule 10:&lt;/b&gt; Stop wasting time reading &lt;a href="http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nigritude Ultramarine Blogs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and get back to your engineering job!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6975307-108761745932456991?l=nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6975307/posts/default/108761745932456991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6975307/posts/default/108761745932456991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com/2003/04/google-seo-for-engineers.html' title='Google SEO for Engineers'/><author><name>Nigritude Ultramarine SEO Contest Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03707349028275902699</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975307.post-108814530524206874</id><published>2003-04-25T22:35:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-06-25T02:41:24.206-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Google SEO - Screen Space</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Another great post by Philipp &lt;a href="http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2004_06_23_index.html#108798852628076628"&gt;Google SEO - Screen Space&lt;/a&gt; reminded me about &lt;a href="http://www.e-marketing-news.co.uk/december_2003.html#google"&gt;this interview&lt;/a&gt; with  a Google Engineer Daniel Dulitz.

&lt;p&gt;Daniel also talks about screen space or "screen real-estate" as he puts it. Which leads to a very interesting conclusion:

It is being user friendly and tolerant to a small user mistakes. One of them is spelling or to be more precise - misspelling.
&lt;p&gt;For example, user might type &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=nigritude+ultramarine+chalenge"&gt;nigritude ultramarine chalenge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=nigtitude+ultramarine+chalange"&gt;nigtitude ultramarine chalange&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; out of ignorance or because of a very busy schedule. In either case we want him to find the official &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/3275093"&gt;nigritude ultramarine seo challenge&lt;/a&gt; page. You may say that Google could suggest you the wrong misspelling but there are &lt;a href="http://www.kartoo.com/"&gt;other great engines&lt;/a&gt; [kartoo.com] that do not have such feature.
&lt;p&gt;This is not even a SEO - it is just a way to be nice and forgiving to our users...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6975307-108814738769426482?l=nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com/feeds/108814738769426482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6975307&amp;postID=108814738769426482' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6975307/posts/default/108814738769426482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6975307/posts/default/108814738769426482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com/2003/04/google-seo-special-considerations.html' title='Google SEO - Special Considerations'/><author><name>Nigritude Ultramarine SEO Contest Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03707349028275902699</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975307.post-108751789848372621</id><published>2003-04-20T20:18:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-06-19T02:39:44.306-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Google Universe</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Do you want to know why Google SEO is important?

&lt;p&gt;I disagree with his conclusions. Masses are wise only when nobody brainwashes them. Otherwise they are very easily manipulated. 
&lt;p&gt;Remarkably you &lt;b&gt;don't have to have a bad intent&lt;/b&gt; to shift public opinion. Good example is Google itself. Look at most non competitive keywords. Majority of the links to "top 10" sites are there because people found those sites at Google and linked to them, without even bothering to check the second result page. New unknown sites find it very hard to find audience. Even if they have more relevant and fresh content than the old sites who stuck on the first page thanks to a bunch of ancient links.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6975307-108821035355569139?l=nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6975307/posts/default/108821035355569139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6975307/posts/default/108821035355569139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nigritude-ultramarine-challenge.blogspot.com/2003/04/google-looks-for-mass-intelligence.html' title='Google looks for  Mass Intelligence'/><author><name>Nigritude Ultramarine SEO Contest Blog</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03707349028275902699</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975307.post-108684544391414751</id><published>1999-01-31T01:00:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2004-06-10T03:21:20.596-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Going Back with Blogger Time Machine</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;I must say that the first month of my Blogging experience was very frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was ready to abandon the whole thing. But then I found &lt;b&gt;Blogger Time Machine!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything has changed instantly! I can blog about any topic at any time and have my articles organised how I want to give my blog readers the best possible experience! Going back in time, while everybody else are simply follow the flow, feels great!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Skeptics may say that I can do the same with the ordinary web site and avoid obscure subdirectory names. But, hey, can it bring back my college memories, when I was programming in BASIC and reading Science Fiction all night long?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
100 FOR I=1 TO 99
200 PRINT "NIGRITUDE ULTRAMARINE"
300 NEXT I
OK
&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
