Maybe it's been done, but I figured that Friday Word Game thing is so much like keyword spam, maybe it would be fun to make a game out of keyword spamming?

Start with a set of keywords. The goal is to build a page of text that reads ok gramatically, but using the keywords as much as possible as long as it makes sense. one word at a time (or one keyword phrase) like the Friday Word Game. Somes filler and somes setup and somes money words.

The key is to have it make sense and NOT sound tomuch like keyword spam, yet use the keywords properly in relative context.

Perhaps too geeky, or too hard to keep a reasonable level of "sanity" since so many people have different ideas of what sounds good/sounds to spammy. I also wonder if the WebmasterWorld page containing post-after-post building a spammy page will actually rank for the keywords over time?

Haha, we have The Gizmo Quiz* and The Friday Word Game**. Don't know if we can stand another game in Foo.

A bit difficult to do here at WW, but fun anyway, was 'Ugly Tie Thursday'. It was the last day of the week for ties, friday was casual. I like the idea (paybacksa's, not mine). You know everyone in the world wants to drop their URL in this forum.. let's have some fun with the keywords :) Maybe you could even call it the Bit Bucket.

I've been thinking about this way too much. So perhaps the thread could be opened to crawling, and the participants are allowed one month to rank that page. It could even a be a way for Brett to break into Ad***, or to discover how many 'secret' money phrases got ranked :) It could be fun.

The keyword list could be released early to let folks get their own list ready.
