Now, this is a lovely idea for a contest, not to mention a Google Rank-Tester. Let's just hope no one who works at Google on that algorithm tries to win this..

_"Here’s how it works: Savvy SEO people enter this contest using the words **V7ndotcom Elursrebmem**. Then, on May 15, 2006, noon, Pacific standard time, whoever has a page on their site listed highest in a_ [_Google search for v7ndotcom elursrebmem_](http://www.google.com/search?q=v7ndotcom+elursrebmem) _wins a variety of prizes up to $4000 in cash._
