Directory Contest twists it up
November 7th, 2006 by Sarah KingMike Dammann has launched his own Directory Contest. It’s a twist on the regular SEO contests and it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.
I’ve got two entries
- RealState for Real Estate has a Directory Contest page
- Property Investment Directory has a Directory Contest page
In both cases the links aren’t visible on the directory homepage and the links are 2 or 3 clicks into the site. Read the rest of this entry »
MSN Ad Tool points a girl in the right direction…
July 1st, 2006 by Sarah KingNow, if I could just get this on an API it would be great.
I ran the MSN Ad Demographics tool past some of my favourite sites and learnt Read the rest of this entry »
The V-E battle heats up
April 28th, 2006 by Sarah KingIt’s less than a month to V-E decision day and the front runners are starting to pull out all the stops to make their site #1. If the comps are meant to simulate the real life efforts of SEO consultants then we all need a wake up call. They no longer do. The level of sophistication has increased and the tricks and traps to get that one day peak won’t lead to anything we’ll use for our real clients.
To check out the current standing go to Google.
As always the Celiac v7ndotcom elursrebmem webcam gets my vote and you can read more about the V-E competition on this page and at my V-E lens.
Link Vault: No SEO Contest adverts allowed.
March 2nd, 2006 by Sarah KingIt’s good to see Link Vault step up and work to keep the network clean. Granted I was an offender 
but I totally support their stand and am glad to see them tighten things up. They’ve sent me a nice, brief email and left it up to me to clean up my account too – rather than just taking over and throwing the item out. It’s official too, and listed as item #15 in their guidelines.
SEO contests are so “Middle Class”
January 17th, 2006 by Sarah KingA new SEO contest started yesterday, day before, all depends on your time zone. I created a v7ndotcom elursrebmem page out of idle curiosity and a v7ndotcom elursrebmem contestants directory for people to get extra, themed, links to their sites.
There’s been stacks of activity with domains being bought and onsold, ebay auctions, charity contestants (go Alek) and, of course, spam.
I just checked my Google Analytics page for the directory just to see who the competitors are. Now it is an international affair, but look at the countries. Pretty much only western, first world countries.
So, is SEO and the little games associated with it, just for the bored middle classes?
DMOZ Scavenger Hunt
December 7th, 2005 by Sarah KingThere are plenty who are quick to insult DMOZ and the people who work to make it work. I won’t go into that here, it will acheive nothing.
However, over at DigitalPoint a member (wrmineo) started a DMOZ Scavenger Hunt to find categories that had not been edited in years. Read the rest of this entry »
