Over at Threadwatch Massa posted about how a friend's site quickly ranked in Google by spamming bathroom stalls with URL laden yellow stickies.
I'm not telling anyone to spam bathrooms. I'm merely making a point that maybe thinking differently and thinking in terms of something other than tech may offer some answers to this debate. I'm not sure putting up post-it notes in toilets is people marketing, but I'm also not sure it isn't search engine marketing.

That's a new idea? I see URLs all over the place: car bumper stickers, door magnets, written in shoe polish on windows, written in sidewalk chalk, slips of paper left in books and magazines at the bookstore, and -- yes -- even with postit notes in restaurants and public restrooms.
I would expect Google to have a decent list of known proxies.
Search Google normally and then search it from a proxy and notice how some of the AdWords ads fall off the SERP.

I have seen it done, and we actually did a test of leaving business style cards in mens bathroom all over. The domain was new, and had ZERO traffic. out of 1000 cards left, we got about 1300 hits in 2 months. All aparent type in. We have not tested it since, but never really watched to see of it had any effect in google or any other SE.
Like I been saying: "All you have to do is get the attention of search engines and give them that warm and fuzzy."
