The contest will start January 15th (2007) and end May 1st (2007).

Anyone can join the contest! Click here to read the rules.

Some good stuff about this contest:

1: There will be a scorecard page where you can follow the top leaders in the contest.

2: In order to win you have to be good at optimizing for Google, Msn and Yahoo since total points are combined when determing the winner.

3: You can win a car!!!!!!!!!

4: The contest will be monitored by people that know SEO (one of them is me) so we are making the rules as fair as we possibly can!

5: This SEO contest will be annual and we are expecting a lot of contestants already

6: You can choose to link or not to link back to the official website and instead choose one of our banners linked or not linked.

The keyword to optimize for will be announced on Jan 15 so stay tuned!



Ps...

I myself will not participate in this contest since I was one of the guys that helped organizing it.

To qualify for a price you need a new domain but you can always use your old domains to link from.

Not huge actually, I know a guy that only had a few pages and managed to place at fifth place in the v7n.com contest.
Seo is also about beeing creative, like creating linkbaits and good free services so that people will link back to you.

Also! It would be impossible to have a PR limit or something as a rule since competitors could link to their opponents etc, PR also changes every 3-4 months and that makes it even more impossible to imply any kind of PR rule.

Critics will be there, but i like what u and BSanchez said....

I may be no pro but i can smell a lot of sour grapes, remember

"The Fox and the Sour Grapes"

If its not link baiting, what are people scared off - definetely loosing

Well will be eagerly awaiting it, and will make a small entry as will be very buzy early next year, do keep us updated Marcus
