SICK IDEA - Optimizing for the letter "a"

[Sebastian]

Hey guys,

Jeremy tells us to think outside the box all the time. I think I have a sick idea that will pay dividends, deeply rooted in seo.

Here is the business model:

* I just purchased the exact match domain http://www.a.com/
* I will put up one page of content, and post about my last fishing trip and bold every occurrence of the letter "a"
* I will pay some guy in India to submit my site to 2000-7000 directories with the anchor text "a".

And the magic happens:

I sit back, watch my site climb in the SERPS for the "a" query.

Eventually my site will be so optimized/ link bombed, that when you type in : "Hi Google this is Gydian looking for a cheap porno DVD", Google will pick up the "a" and I will rank on page 1.

I'll then put up some affiliate programs and stuff to monetize.

Jump on this guys, the 25 other letters of the alphabet are still free.

To your seo success,

Sebastian

PS: In case this becomes link bait, I don't actually believe this.

Oh you evil bastard.

[Sebastian]

I can edit to be somebody else... just let me know.

Oh, I wasn't complaining about that. I was complaining cause you stole my billion dollar plan.

[imteaz]

it doesn't work that way buddy.

[Dave]

Sorry to burst your bubble Sebastian but Google considers "a" a stop word.

English Stopwords

[Sebastian]

True.. not if you just type "a" though.

But in the context of the Gydian query, I'd have to say you're right.

Dang !

This is how you should think "outside the box":

Man, Seb and I don't agree much and I'm pretty sure he doesn't really even like me (most people don't) But I LOVE that he is always pushing into new SEO ideas and strategies. Some people will just get LE, backlinks, etc and wonder why nothing is happening, but Seb is making something happen and you have to admire that.

I'd like to know how much Sebastian paid for the domain name a.com.
