An online academy called the Affiliate Academy is doing a SEO competition for it's students.
There is a class for beginners and one for advanced students to keep the competition fair.
The contest will give all the participants a chance to use their new SEO methods in a real life scenario. Each group has a different target term they are competing to rank for.
The beginners are competing for the term Clean Red Widgets while the advanced group is competing for the term Dirty Blue Widgets.
These are both nonsensical terms to avoid outside competition. This allows all the students to compete against each other in stead of the rest of the WWW and thus gives them an equal opportunity to win.
The contest is going on from 11/10/08 through 2/10/09. The site ranked highest in Google's search engine at the end of that 90 day period will be named the winner. But there are a few rules.
There are no black hat techniques allowed. No one may purchase links to there site. The domain name competing in the contest must not contain any of the words from the target term. And no automated tools are allowed except ones that submit to bookmarking and article directories.
There are cash prizes for the winners. $1000 to the winner of the beginners and $1500 to the advanced group winner. - 16759
