Sell your soul for a luxury weekend in the country
Ireland, Web, When-in-Ireland, by Donncha.What would you do for a luxury self catering weekend in the West of Ireland? Would you sell your soul and help launch a Google bomb?
Well, the good people at Glengarrriff Lodge would like you to link to their website with the keywords “Luxury Self Catering” in the link. Do that, and link to someone else who may be interested in the weekend and you’ll be entered in a draw for a weekend at the Lodge worth up to 1175 Euro! Nice eh?

Oh, I’ll be in that part of the country in the next few weeks so I might call in and say hi!

I believe the only modification they would need to make is not to actually require people to use specific terms and not only would they have relieved themselves of jeopardy – but they would also get more links!

lol… in italy we call that “making a favour”. Too bad some courts said that it’s called “mafia”
[...] other people using the Google rigging text. The Glengarriff Lodge does look nice I have to say, I agree with Donncha, it’s a shame though that they are using a technique as odious as Pay Per Post to promote [...]
SEO and Linkbait, Good or Bad?…
The Irish blogosphere has been buzzing with the talk of SEO and linkbaiting lately…
