[…] David Pasternack – Dave set the precedent for Calacanis by diplomatically asking whether SEO is Rocket Science As a president of a PPC agency he developed a bit of a reputation for bashing the natural search marketers and Threadwatch decided to give $1000 to who ever could rank for his name.

>Has anyone given thought to the chef who has the same name as the guy that wrote the SEO articles?

This concern is a legitimate one, and it’s one reason why my latest articles in DM News have given readers an option to vote for me (Dave Pasternack) or the award-winning chef (David Pasternack). FWIW, the New Yorker will be a very difficult site to displace, and we’ve seen no movement suggesting this will happen. Of course, we have several weeks to go in this interesting race. My hope is that the end result of this competition will be more, not less relevancy (for goodness sake, we don’t need any more irrelevancy than we already have!)

Has anyone given thought to the chef who has the same name as the guy that wrote the SEO articles?

He is about to drop off the rankings for his own name through no fault of his own, perhaps Aaron could ask for good faith and get the links repointed to the chef’s website for week or so to undo the damage.

Just a thought
