That’s a good point, John. It might be interesting to actually contact the real Dave Pasternack (the chef) and see if you can get some links from the contest entry page…and since it’s on-topic I’m wondering if that type of link would help out tremendously.

I suspect, though, that it will be difficult to get a ranking higher than the Dave Pasternack chef pages that mention his name since those pages have gotten the majority of the initial links.

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 though

I hate to have to point this out, but just looking at Kevin Lee’s blog/site at kevinlee.net…there’s a title tag on that site that shows that he’s trying to rank well for “search engine marketing expert”. I’m not finding that domain anywhere in the top 5 pages of search results…

The first real “day” after the Dave Pasternack contest has started…the threadwatch post is ranking 5th (and 6th) on Google…and this page is ranking 9th on Google for ‘Dave Pasternack’. This Dave Pasternanck SEO contest sure is going to be interesting.

What's interesting to note is that this search at Google reveals absolutely nothing about Dave Pasternack. Really. If you do a site: search for Dave Pasternack and search only the didit.com site, then Dave Pasternack isn't there anywhere.

Did It added a Dave Pasternack link to their blog on their own site and then edited their “about” page’s title tag to include Dave Pasternack’s name.

Yes, I have to admit that it looks like this whole thing is just for “link bait” but we’ll really see how many links people can get!

Thanks for the mention. It will be interesting to see if this contest has any legs. I can’t wait to see Pasternack’s response. I feel like I’m about to see a good old catfight.
