he he. People are already cheating on other participants in the scheme.

Putting up entire copies of DMOZ just to get more pages with links on them into the sytem, cloaking their pages so the links are not cached, creating thousands of pages with no content just to add the script.

This one will go down not because of Google, but because of greedy webmasters. Most webmasters will pull out as the effect of the backlinks decline as more and more junk pages are added to the network.

Of course it's a nice short term boost though :)
