<p><a title="Why the BetFair model is partially obsolete" href="http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/08/08/betfair-model-outdated/">HubDub is <strong>the only</strong> prediction exchange</a> whose <a title="Why the HubDub model is superior to the InTrade, TradeSports, BetFair, HSX and NewsFuturesâ€™s ones" href="http://www.midasoracle.org/2008/08/07/hubdub-model-google/">prediction market webpages are <strong>indexed well by Google</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>SEO is key for marketing and P.R.</strong>, folks &#8212;you see the evidence under your very nose with HubDub and the Olympics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Cross posted from <a href="http://blog.oddhead.com/2008/08/15/predict-olympic-medal-counts-on-yoopick/">Oddhead Blog</a>.</em></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve just added a new feature to <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=8575690818">Yoopick</a> especially for Frenchmen <a href="http://www.midasoracle.org/author/chris-masse/">Chris</a> and <a href="http://us.newsfutures.com/home/people.html#emile">Emile</a> and citizens of nineteen other countries to place their <strong>swagor*</strong> on how many medals their country will win.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve <a href="http://blog.oddhead.com/2008/07/03/yoopick-a-sports-prediction-contest-on-facebook-with-a-research-twist/">argued</a> that the Yoopick interface is useful for predicting almost any kind of number, and since medal count is indeed a number, we thought we&#8217;d give it a try.</p>
<p>Besides, <a href="http://weblog.fortnow.com/">Lance</a> told us it would be a good idea.</p>
<p>Sign up, play, enjoy, and donâ€™t forget to <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=8575690818">tell us what you think</a>!</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />
