Google Bowling NORMALLY could be a black hat strategy that some less than honest people could employ... however in light of this contest is the fact that due to the limited time nature of this... google bowling might not be valid... everyone is trying to grab links for themselves as of now... and by spending resources to try to nail someone else might backfire... as Google wouldn't have enough time to spider all those 'bowing links' ... and might detect it as a bowl ... a few days AFTER the contest is over...
meaning that Google bowling at this point will only increase someone's rankings...
