No, no - don't get put off so early in the excercise - not only is it a good idea, your example is excellent!

I'm certainly not worried - all for it in fact - it'll make a change from the obvious and, it has to be said, could well pull in some link traffic.

The idea, for me, would be to stimulate - to excite and, as in your example, to shock.

If my site's weren't so cuddly, I'd snuggle up to bible pornography myself

A contest, of course!

pictures are good link bait.

Especially pretty graphs (when you're targetting web people or managers LOL)

I personally like the SEO Generations battles, and the site Ning has to offer similar apps.

Another one that may make a comeback is ... "Back to Work" Buttons with a twist of course!

Dangle it out there and hope for a bite (or thousands), right?

- Make a deal with a friendly webmaster and create a 'virtual war' between eachother.
- Post naked pictures of your ex-girlfriend (fake em if you have to)
- Make false acquisations about people in high places
- Make other kind of false claims

Nonono RMC...

Not that obvious, other people must think that what you claim is actually through. Or at least consider it a possibility.

Oh.

My bad.
