!@#$% Be #1 in iTunes Alpha Listings

Do you want to know how to be #1 in the in iTunes alpha listings and jump to the head of the list and push everyone else down so that YOUR podcast is the numero uno? Here's how.
  1. Open your favorite XML editor
  2. Find the TITLE element
  3. Add a dash or quote or slash before the letters in your show
  4. Wait for Apple to suck in your feed again!
  5. Brace yourself for new subscribers!
Note if you really want to be high in the list add two slashes or two quotes and be prepared to add more as others add slashes and dots and other characters to push you down! Also note, you don't have to say the slash or dot or quote on air. Its not required since podcasts are not governed by FCC regulation

* Note this "How To" is full of sarcasm in case you missed it. I don't recommend doing this and I'm not going to publish a list of lame because I could be wrong and some of the show names could be legit. You can go into iTunes (mainly the Audio Blogs category) for yourself and see some of the new titles and get an idea of who is doing this. :(

I agree...what carpet munchers those - putters are! I mean really, isn't that disrespectful and stupid, I hope itunes scratches their content.
