SEO contest is defined as:

“An activity awarding prizes that challenges search engine optimization (SEO) practitioners to rank themselves among the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN using certain keyword(s).”

I joined two SEO contests or, sometimes it was called an SEO race, in the past and luckily, on both contests, I managed to grab the 3rd spots.

The SEO Race

As an SEO newbie by that time, SEO contests really push me hard and keeps me going until I found my self ranking on the SERPs (search engine result pages). That result gives me the joy, excitement and of course pride because, I am ranking for a certain keyword along with other SEO experts.

The first SEO contest I joined is for the “Tnomeralc Web Design Toys” keyphrase.  Check the contest leaderboard or final results at:

The second one is for the “Eriuqs Spires Healthy Recreation“. Check the final result at:

My blog entry for both contest is a blogspot (blogger) blog; which is one of the very first blog I created. But sadly, that blog is now down due to some blogger issues.

New SEO Contest

And now, there will be a new search engine optimization contest. It is a contest that aims to invite all SEM and SEO professionals; not only here in the Philippines but also from all over the world, to compete with one another with a certain keyphrase.

The said contest is created to help typhoon victims in the country. What I love more on this contest is, it will mainly focus on a TAGALOG keyword or keyphrase.

You can check the full details of the said contest at:

I am looking forward in joining and of course, in full determination, in winning the said contest.
