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?
