[Lee]

Everyone knows that Google changes the way they rank sites on a regular basis. Now that the algorithm's change regularly and everyone is competing again can you take a page to #1? More importantly, can you keep it there?

GWW is giving away $350 in prizes to any Webmaster or SEO who can take their page to #1 for the search term "JeeDubDub". Get there any way you can to win a prize.

The competition is judged at three different stages and prizes will be awarded to the person who has the #1 listing on the 18th October, 18th November and, the 18th December.

The competition runs from the 18th of September to the 18th of December 2005.

The first prize of a $50 Amazon gift card goes to the person that owns the page ranked #1, on the 18th October 2005.

The second prize of a 120GB external USB hard drive goes to the person that owns the page ranked #1, on the 18th November 2005.

The third prize of a brand new iPod Nano goes to the person that owns the page ranked #1, on the 18th December 2005.

All prizes will be sent out 5 days after the close of the competition on the 18th December 2005 by UPS or FedEx.

If your page is ranked #1 on all three days, you walk away with all 3 prizes.

When do you think we'll see the first ranked pages for the JeeDubDub search term?

Also, dont forget, that for many who havent tried SEO as a traffic generation tool, this contest will give them a valuable insight in to how Google works, how long it takes to get a page listed, how PR and backlinks work etc etc.

So, whilst this is a fun contest, its also going to be an educational tool for many at the same time.

Excellent marketing move Lee!

Lots of valuable PR and backlink traffic from lots of market targeted traffic for GWW, not to mention all the additional page crawls this will provide by virtue of all the additional inbound links to GWW!



none the less....a very good marketing maneuver.. and a great contest.

So has anyone got their JeeDubDub site or page built yet and if so, have you spoken to any of our other community members about trading links?

I think we'll start seeing pages and sites listed in Google for JeeDubDub over the next 36-48 hours.

I also noticed that some people have already started registering domains to use for this contest too
