SEO Contest Update
- Posted by Badi Jones on January 11th, 2006 - Comment on this Post »
The number of results in the Redscowl contest took a pretty big jump today up to 516 today.
Results 1 – 10 of about 516 for <contest phrase>. (0.16 seconds)
Of the big 3, Google has had the least results for the contest phrase from the start, and is still trailing Yahoo ( 582 results) and MSN (3,903 results…right*).
When I started this contest, I wondered if requiring all entries to be hosted with new domain names was a good idea, but now I am really glad I decided to do it this way. It forces contestants to actually use their SEO skills. It is a real challenge. I remember reading somewhere that the winner of one of the previous SEO contests won by just mentioning the contest on a blog one time. Where is the challenge in that?
Well its definitely not too late to get in. There are a good many competitors, but remember, the links are going to win it. Good luck.

You should make a message board for us to talk about the contest!!! Right now, other than these blog articles, the only place we have to talk about it is threads on other message boards like DigitalPoint and v7n. Having a message board might get more webmasters interested, like it’s done to the v7n contest. Heck, the original thread’s got over 7,000 views and the contest hasn’t even started yet!!!!!

Nintendo,
I had phpbb for a while, but it was more trouble trying to keep it up than it was worth. I have my hands full with the tools and the blog. I was actually hoping that this place could be kind of like threadwatch. Its a blog as well as a thriving community. I also have a few other good ideas which I plan to implement soon.
There are already a lot of good SEO forums out there. I strongly recommend that you join SEOrefugee forums (if you haven’t joined yet)if you want to discuss the contest. There are several contestants there and a few threads about the contest already.
