Contests are always a lot of fun, particularly when you stand to gain something from them. Fun and gain never become more important than when they are combined with SEO. Optimization is not rocket science. It is a mix of practical skills and theoretical knowledge which allow you to promote your website to search engines and online visitors alike.
If you are looking for targeted SEO knowledge, the backing of an online community which shares skills, tips and SEO knowledge plus a little fun and gain then the upcoming SEO Competition at Webmasterserve will help you take your knowledge of SEO to an entirely new level.
The idea of the SEO competition is relatively simple: enter your site for a particular word which will be optimised and see how you do on the published league table. At the end of a three month period there should be a winner, and prizes worth thousands of pounds. The real prize of participating of course is not any money you may get at the end of the three month period but the valuable, practical SEO knowledge you will gain as a result of the interaction with skilled, like minded forum members.
Webmasterserve is the pre-eminent SEO and webmaster forum for webmasters from the UK and, increasingly, the world over. To join the competition which will kick off officially on 12th February just point your browser to the Webmasterserve SEO Competition page and register there.
I am the SEO competition coordinator and really look forward, along with all the members of the Webmasterserve community to welcoming you and helping you learn more about SEO which will help you with your website.
