SeoContest2008 day three

Ok, today google is showing 2780 results for seocontest2008. The first places are more or less the same. Unfortunately I’m not on the second position anymore, I’m on the third. As you might know, the winner of the seocontest2008 will be set by google. Stockbridge Consultants .I’ve searched the other major search engines because I’m very curious. On yahoo and msn things are very different. None of the google’s top ten are on the first page. The closest results I’ve found on aol. But then again aol is powered by google.

Google search for SEOContest2008 shows only 10 results

Google search for "SEOContest2008" displays only 10 results. i did couple of searches though out the day. Got bit different results each time. that means Google have indexed loads of sites who compete in the contest but displays only the best ten for some reason.

SEOContest2008 UKWebmasterworld Forum

I have joined another search engine optimization contest dubbed as seocontest2008 by the UK Webmaster World.

Contest starts today and ends at April 1, 2008 at exactly 1pm, United Kingdom time.

Prize at stake is $1000, not too big for the pocket but the glory will be tasteful for sure as there's a lot of good competitors.

If you'd like to provide some help, a little link love will be appreciated.

Good luck to all contestants of seocontest2008.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) UK - SEOContest 2008

As you might be previously informed on the 1th of February the UK Webmaster World Community will launch an international seo contest and the winner will receive $1000 and each 3 runners up will get $100.

Today is the day! Right now the targeted search term has been released and UK Webmaster Forum Seo Contest is now official.

What is the targetted keyphrase ? Though it’s not obvious on my domain name and my blog title, the keyword is seocontest2008 .

How can I enter ?

In order to help us identify you as a participant during the contest you need to do two things:

  • Take the rules seriously
  • Instert this html code into your competitive design page
    UK Webmaster World SEO Contest

    We are going to design a result table page for the contest and the value of the user tag will be displayed next to your result so this will identify you during the contest.

Rules

  • You may use a domain, folder, or sub domain as your optimised page with one criterion. The page must be brand new, no backlins no cached version
  • Every optimisation techniques are allowed except cloaking, and hiding text. We will periodically compare the optimised pages with their cached version in order to discover the cloackers, hence we kindly ask you to avoid using any kind of noarchive meta tag

How will we determine the winner?
We won’t, but the Google.com. On the 1st of April at 1pm (UK time) the result table will be updated last time requesting the http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=tagetted-keyphrase&btnG=Search string and the 1st result will be the winner of the contest.

Notes:

  • In order to provide the same chance for everybody, the result table will ignore the differnces might be caused by the different geographic locations hence the above specified searching string will be requested every time when the reult page will be updated
  • Prices will be received via PayPal transfer.

Good luck to everyone!
