As many of you probably know, there are
several new SEO Contests going on via other sites and forums at the
moment.
Currently the largest new SEO contests I am aware of are basically the
same as past SEO Contests, with the exception that some of the prizes
are larger for the top positions (1st through 5th positions).
While I believe these other SEO contests will provide some useful data
to analyze, I personally would be more interested in a series of SEO
Contests where each contest is held with a strict set of defined rules
in order to more easily learn from the results.
This first contest I personally would be interested in holding would
rule out any age factors of a domain name and any advantage of
being the first to have registered the keyword filled domain (of
course only for those of you that believe it may give you a small
advantage)).
Everyone starts off on a more equal playing field.
SEO Contest 1:
The Theme: To
Entertain, To Educate, To Give
The Keyword Phrase: "retsambew
dash klat for Charity"
retsambew = "webmaster" backwords | dash = a "-"
| klat = "talk" backwords. You could perceive it to mean a couple
different things. One being that if you are talking about the contest
you are probably a "webmaster" "talking" which it may be in essence
helping out a Charity. I didn't want to add any additional keywords
because it might make the keyword phrase to long.
Contest start date is Monday
April 3rd and the end date is Friday September 1 (duration is approx
5 months).
retsambew dash klat for
Charity - Conditions
1. Who can rank the highest for a brand new domain for a
keyword phrase "retsambew dash klat for Charity" in Google (the
complete keyword phrase will currently yield 0 results in Google).
Conditions:
- You must use a brand new domain name. The registration date
of the domain used must be
on or after the announcement date of the contest
4/3/2006
- No remotely hosted blog domains allowed (i.e.
keyword.blogspot.com) Using a Blog is fine. You just can't use a
remotely hosted blog subdomain (which would not follow the no
subdomain rule anyway).
- No Subdomains Allowed in any form.
- The contest keywords can not be used in the domain (with
dashes or without any dashes) (subpages with the keyword is fine).
- The winning page must link to a Charity of your choice from
this page on Give.org. (you must use a text link or logo with
link that has at minimum the charity name).
Why a Charity? This contest is going to be different. Because
of our unique set of contest conditions, this contest will not only be
entertaining but also a contest in which I feel we will be able to learn
more from the results. Lets not only make it entertaining and educating
but lets also give something back to others who need it. By
participating or telling others about the Webmaster-Talk.com SEO Contest
you will be supporting a good cause by giving exposure or urging
others to donate to your favorite charity (the link is the only
"requirement").
