Stop Dreaming Start Action Challenge

When I got the news that some of our Indonesian friends’ website has brought down today caused by some unfair play, the only thing that goes on my mind were: there are some shallow, greedy and bad people out there.

Busby SEO Challenge was supposed to be a fun challenge, a game that we all can play, a time to learn and enjoy each other, a time to make new friends. But apparently since there was some proud ego and money in stake to be won, some people just forget the essence of a SEO challenge.

I know that for sure I am nobody in this SEO world and this kind of competition I have never heard before. But know that I have been following it for the last couple of months; I am interested to follow and learn new technique that the challenger are implementing. Then perhaps I will also adapt some of them in my other personal websites for personal purposes.

But not there are irresponsible “unknown” parties that are ruining all of it. Two of the main candidates from Indonesia that are leading at the moment are brought down due to running of bandwidth. I assume it is because some crazy envy people are running some kind of a script that sends request over and over again from all over the world with different IP with the purpose to run the website bandwidth.

Not only Indonesian suffers from this. Before the Indonesia challenger page was down, some of the French Busby challenge team also reports that their site gets the same attack. They even mentioned that some of the attack came from French IP…! Is this true? Or is it some kind of a reverse psychology that they are playing. Sometime ago they have mentioned that they are using a psychological warfare tactics. Is this one of their tactics too?

I cannot be the judge of this. I really just want to make Friends, even with the other challenger team, perhaps the Filipinos. We have never really noticed them but they are slowly crawling on the leader board. Perhaps since the Indonesian and French team are doing some cross fire, they are the ones who will take advantage?
Again we will never know, unless someone who does this has a brave heart and step out to acknowledge that they have done it. But would somebody this wicked do that?

Well this is for sure a very strong warning for all other Indonesia Busby challenge team since up until now only we are the ones who really suffer. I call out to my Indonesian friends, Dewaji, Brokencode, Ray, Ardhi, Yudi Abe be really ready for some after attacks. Perhaps all of you can share to each other how we can avoid these attacks.
