Wikipedia and Battle of The Ages: Vlad The Affiliate vs Vlad The Impaler
September 14, 2007 – 11:44 amAfter watching Rand’s video about wiki-jacking, which I foun on Micheal’s SEO Blog, I came up with some what insane idea. But you need to watch the video first.
my insane idea is based on the fact that……
My “Enemy” is Wikipedia
While this blog is ranking in the first place on Google for quiet some time now for “Vlad The Affiliate”, if you search just “Vlad” you will see that Wikipedia occupies the first search result with a page about Vlad The Impaler (aka Dracula).
You Can Help Me In This Battle
If you ever consider to give me a link just use “Vlad” in your link’s anchor text. Do I think I would ever occupy the first place on Google for my name? I think everything is possible- besides the other guy is dead and he certainly doesn’t care.
Below is the code for the link to “about” page if you want to do it now:
How long do you think will it take me to to at least rank #2 for my name?

@mudflation
Did you get screwed by Wikipedia when they introduced the “nofollow” crap? I just wondering if you have contributed to the Wikipedia on that article??

Wow this is exactly what I am trying to do with my name
Currently in ranked 300 for “Oleg” but I’m trying to hit that #1 spot.

Hi Vlad
Well I’ve done my bit for you so I only hope it helps you in your quest
For some reason I couldn’t trackback or ping to this entry, (not a WP blog but Nucleus which can be fussy about trackbacks) thus the reason for leaving you this message.

Thanks Maurice,
I just saw your post. Let me check if your track back was not caught by Spam Karma by mistake. Thanks for giving me a hand against Wikipedia
.
Update: Nope, no trace of your trackback. I will reciprocate with some juicy links with all those who liked this joke and are helping me in my “battle”

Any progress or is it too soon?
You know I gave you a link and I recommended others to on my blog, hopefully some of my readers did as well. Keep going, we’ll conquer Dracula

Nope not much progress yet. Still #14
I did show up in top 10 few times in the past. But every time I changed the theme on this blog I end up forgetting to update some internal linking.
I thin I should see effect of your links combined with my on site changes in 4-5 days. I will keep you posted.
