There was an item on dutch television recently handling the subjects 'linkfarming' and other trickery (mentioned in the 'what not to do' list in this post) used to mislead searchengines.

It showed a interview with some guy (lost his name) that could get your website in the first 3 or so searchresults. To get here he used every 'don't try this at home' trick in the book and just wondered "Why not? Is it against the law?"...Conclusion: There didn't seem to be any law that could stop him from doing this.

I hate this way of thinking! Isn't it far more satisfying and in the end rewarding(!) to reach this by following those few 'rules of ethiquete' that fortunatly seem to be there?! By worth of mouth, just an amazing produkt or website or whatever?

Will those websites that used 'trickery' gain more 'real clients' or just more people that think "This isn't what I was lookin' for?! Crappy internet!".

TAKE IT EASY! The internet will still be there tomorrow!

There are just too many websites figthing for that listing in the 'top3' so I wouldn't focus only on this (allthough I would never forget it!), I would focus more on being reliable, consistent and when found...Totally prepared and ready!
