Bummer for you, though. It's tough to replace someone you like and can trust to develop what you want. Congrats to him, I think. Bummer for you, though.

I suppose you could call this a double edged sword, it’d definitely get your more comments, but also increase your moderation work.

Vorgermilten in 2006 1st place - SEO World Championship by Get Updated in 2007 (I won a car!) 2nd place - SEOContest2008 by UK Webmaster World (won some cash) When I heard about this contest: "Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World Contest" I decided not to join right away. Because the words were just real English words, dictionary words and most probably after the contest ended, many people that join this contest will have sites ranking for various real estate terms. And for someone looking for real good real estate related sites, it can be annoying for them just to find out they found sites all about SEO. Or maybe about real estate but did not have good content since the site was really made for SEO. but of course I am sure there were people that joined the contest with good real estate content and value but I don't want the SERPs to get dirty too with tons of SEO sites. And the more and more I join contest, the more and more I realize they are not really important and does not prove you are better than the real professional SEOs. But I still do them for the prize, for the recognition because the common person still thinks I am super good in SEO because I won *LOL* makes marketing easier and just want to have fun. But the keyword should not be disturbing any existing industry online. I became a sucker for SEO contest, started out with small contest when my SEO knowledge was limited, until I started winning:
