Thread: SEO Contest Announcement

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.


What is the targetted keyphrase?
Well, the selected keyphrase will be announced at midnight of 31st of January.


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
• Insert this html code into your competitive design page
  
  <a href="http://forums.ukwebmasterworld.com/" target="_blank" user="your name">UK webmaster forum seo contest</a>
  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

• Your content entry page or site MUST be in English.
• 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
• No multiple entries are allowed - ONE URL per forum member
• Participants are allowed to change URL but with the same requirements - at the moment of registration new url can not have any cashed version or incoming links. Old URL will be removed from database and no longer allowed to be used.

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 google.com/search?q=tagetted-keyphrase 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!

Thanks for all the work you put into this Bagi, rep added.

Can i make a slight adjustment to the code & miss out the target="_blank" attribute or is this a must?

Are you going to use XHTML 1.1 Resonate?

The thought had entered my head yes, what better web standard to promote from SE's will love it.

As long as you don't mind sending visitors away from your site I don't see any problems with removing "target"

target="" is depreciated in XHTML 1.1 - that's why I asked Resonate about it

Well whats the point starting a site/page that is not up to standards, not my thing lol

I'll probably give this a shot. $1,000 can still pay for some bills. Hi everyone. My first post here.
