UPDATE:
Well it appears as though Ardell is starting to wear down and yield. I know the felling when you are attacked by an army. It is overwhelming at times.
It is unfortunate indeed that this same tactic has been repeated successfully time and time again.
At any rate Ardell still holds the #2 slot in Google for the search term of the contest that she has not entered and has spent no time on. You have to love it when content wins over SEO.
For what it is worth, on my Google DC today I noticed a HUGE drop in pages indexed for the search term
Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World. Now I have no idea what that means but I am so happy I am not involved with this contest in any manner.
Google frowns on link schemes and this appears to be an exercise in just that. If the Google wrath does come down the participants will be easy targets. I would love to hear what
Matt Cutts and his anti-spam team thinks about this so called contest.
Ardell stated “Notice to all…issues involving people that have nothing to do with this contest will be deleted” so if anyone is following Ardell’s blog I am not ignoring Knox but I don’t think it would be appropriate to respond there now.
Per Knox, he is aware of this forum and is welcome to continue his less than eloquent defense of the indefensible here so long as he remains civil.
BTW – Knox, aka Knox Denver Web Guy, aka Denver SEO Guy, aka Blogger, aka … I know you are lurking out there. Yes. After being back in Missouri for over 3 years now I dropped my “VegasMack” handle and “MoMack” just didn’t have that zing.
