I am learning search engine marketing now. I found a strange contest while my search, where 100’s of professional SEO’s are competing with each other for a keyword “seocontest2008″. I never seen a contest like this before. You might be interested in visiting the site which provide detailed information about this. Click here to visit Seocontest2008 to learn more about it.

Further research revealed that UKWW is organising this event. Further details are available at the official website of UKWW SEO Contest.

They have setup $1000 as prize money for winners who get top rankings in Google as on 1st April 2008 UK Time. This is a handsome reward which attract many webmasters to join the contest.

If you like to know all about seo contests, refer Wikipedia.com, they have in depth details about these type of contests. Here are some excerpts as defined by them:

An SEO contest is 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). This type of contest is controversial because it often leads to massive amounts of link spamming as participants try to boost the rankings of their pages by any means available.

The organizing body of an SEO competition may hold the activity without promotion of a product or service in mind; or they may organize a contest in order to market something on the Internet.

Good Luck!
