As much as im a huge MMA fan, and would love to blog about my favourite fighters in the MMA world, this is something totally different. The other day i was looking for “SEO Contests”. Just for a bit of a laugh, i thought i might try my hand at something like this to truly test my skills against other SEO’s. I think it would be a much better test then just going out and SEO’ing a random page for a keyword. And thats two reasons :
1. It’s Harder. In a sense, some keywords are damn easy to rank for if you really wanted. But when you are up against others who are spamming every link possible onto their own page, it becomes alot more competitive.
2. It’s Easier. Ha, well it goes like this. Some keywords (Especially product keywords), are so locked down by the big players like Amazon, BestBuy etc without even trying. Thats because these domains are super authoritative, and it becomes an uphill battle right from the beginning. They certainly arent unbeatable, but there is so much effort put into beating them, when there really shouldn’t be.
So with that being said, i went out on the hunt. And to be honest, i really didn’t find much. It seems there isnt actually that many contests being held, and certainly the big ones are all over. Its almost like you only hear about the contest until after its finished. Which is pretty smart i guess, less competition.
The one i could find, that was still up for grabs was the MMA Pound For Pound SEO Contest. Rules seem simple enough, and they don’t seem too bothered about tactic’s being used. So im in!
I havnt really thought it through how im going to tackle it yet, (Hell i might get lazy and just use this blog post as my ranking page). I like blogs because new content gets picked up uber fast by google, but with that being said. Static pages also have a certain factor that i like about them. In anycase, ill probably blog down the road how im going to go about it!
O btw, If you came here actually looking for the best MMA Pound For Pound fighter, then check out here MMA Forum
Why not organizing one yourself?
I dont quite have that kind of money to give out as prize money
. I guess the guy gets a good return though because every site has to link to him. Maybe in the future ill organize a small scale one.
