Greg Boser’s solution to the Dave Pasternack SEO contest shows he is not only one of the smartest guys around, he is also the classiest guerrilla in the contest. Greg has convinced the top contenders in the contest to stop worrying about who Did-It offend–instead they are linking to Award Winning Chef Dave Pasternack and pledged that if he wins, he will spend the money taking his friends to Dave’s New York restaurant, Esca.
Greg, I doubt this will be considered the best link you get, but I might suggest you make a reservation for 10 now. I hear that it is hard to get a table at Esca in any event and Aaron’s contest has made a bunch of us aware of where to go for the best seafood in New York. Meanwhile, if you invite me to join you, I will be sure to make sure the real Dave Pasternack knows that you really helped him out. If the other Dave is reading this, I suggest that Esca might be the perfect place to tell us all how sorry you are for being such a putz.

Dear ROI guy –
If you weren’t so busy resorting to ad hominem rather than substantive argument, you might have realized that linking to Greg doesn’t help the chef. It’s a ruse to get people to link to him so that he can win the contest. Linking to Greg helps Greg. If you really want to help the chef, you’d link to his web page or the New Yorker article. If you really want to vote for relevance, you’d also consider linking to my bio page at Did-it.com. Anything else is “[urinating] in the search pool” as Greg so delicately put it.
