Whip off me the contacts of these girls on soap please.

(Editor’s note. I found this piece of spam amusing — in a pathetic way — so I’m letting it run, having stripped out the porn links.)

That's hardly fair. And of course throwing your own link love into the mix further eats away at your own credibility. I suspect you take your blog lightly, yet for some reason you don't treat these other bloggers (those playing with the Ted Leonsis thing) equally lightly. According to you, they are bullies? In actuality, my initial post about Ted Leonsis responded to his casual reference to SEO, where he characterized his own blogging efforts as SEO (they were no more "SEO" than your own linking here was "SEO"). Ted also (reportedly, as stated) commented that his job was done when his AOL-based subdomain ranked for his name. When a guy as big as Ted Leonsis says something so .... stupid(?)... it deserves commentary even if only to help Ted cover his butt so as not to appear so... stupid(?) A handful of SEO people decided to use their casual blogs to comment on how ted Leonsis was mistaken about SEO, to highlight how modern SEO can be used for reputation management, and that led to a "contest" which, if you didn't notice, is for $500 bucks which is nothing less than a lampoon of "SEO contests". Sorry if you took that for real.... perhaps it was more of an insider thing that could have been better explained. Big deal.
