Anyone else suspicious that this article from a site called seoblackhat got 26 points and got to the top of hacker news in 3 hours?
I am.
I'd be curious to see the voting records for this thread. It's kind of funny that Wordpress crashed, though.
Yeah man, what would 26 hackers be doing here on a Friday night? Preposterous!
where would they be? partying? hackers rather code than party. ;)
I disagree. Hackers prefer to have coding parties.

SEO Blackhattery Superhack #1: Make a very simple statement that nobody can argue with and put a swearword in the title to make it exciting. Submit to social sites. Rake in the fucking money.
Gah, how you taunt me! So clever I must vote for you, yet then I fall for your cleverness! Ah screw it, upmod for you.
There's nothing statistically odd about the voting on it.
There should be. Why is this vacuous, sensationalist stuff making it to the top and staying there? Surely the Elders of News.YC have not pushed this to the top. Tell me that most of the leaders have abstained from this one.
I'm not. The site is required reading and I bumped it on sight.
This is lame. I'd rather HN be a resource for people who actually do things, and not a therapy session for people who can find no other reason to do something than that they should "fucking doing it". For anyone with a soul, anything is more motivating than that.
So, anyone want to have an SEOish SEO party where we can SEO our sites together in accordance with only the most smarmy SEO methods?
the smarmier the better!
I like their attitude. I just wrote "Do it fucking now" on a post-it note and stuck it by my desk. We'll see how that works out...
If that's what you need to motivate you, then don't bother.
No so much motivating, but more like a reminder to get back to work when I'm procrastinating reading (and responding to) stupid comments on the interwebs.
It doesn't appear to be working out for you, then.
