The ultimate SEO

There's an old saying, typically shared by the successful to the less-fortunate: "Living well is the best revenge." If you've been shot down, disenfranchised, or otherwise rejected, the best way to respond is by simply punching on despite the consequences, and showing the world (including those who may have wronged you) that you can succeed anyway.

One time someone posted a link on a discussion board as an example of a very bad link for someone to post. He followed up by saying DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK.
