Or fill it with hyperlinks to sites that you'd like to give
better search-site ratings.  ;-)

Of course, most search bots see through this ruse now.  But
you can give each of a list of sites one vote each.  If you
make lists of  related  sites,  and  put  each  list  in  a
separate gmail message, you might qualify as an "authority"
on those sites' topics.

It might be something fun to test.
