    that would be funny.

    What would be more funny is my site, and my attempt to win this contest, which I know will be a complete failure, suddenly jumping up the google rankins from #1,303,000 to #1 overnight and only staying there for about a week (when the winner is selected), then dropping immediately back to #1,303,000. :)

    From the number of contestants we see so far, I'm betting it'll be bigger tha NU. And with NU, most of the contestants joined in after the keywords were announced, so I expect it'll get bigger still :)

    It may be out of their control though, all somebody needs to do is post a message on January 15th in this forum titled "keyword1 keyword2" and point a few links to it and Shawn could be onto a winner......:)

    What better way would there be for a brandnew domain to get some serious attention before even having the real site on it :)

    Not certain.

    This thread title is "SEO Contest", yet it only ranks 21 on that term. Some other blogs ranks higher.

    lol, I decided to include it in my blog! :) It seems like such an important event and everybody should know what's going on in the net! Especially with the uprising of a new competitor with the same competition :)

    That is a great idea, I already arranged some hosting with another DP'er but I am sure lots of other competitors will need hosting.

    As president of ShoeMoney Media Group INC. I am happy to announce we will contribute $2,000.00 to this contest governed by v7n and JohnScott.

    I believe that puts the grand total over $10,000 ??

    You have to be a member of V7N to see this thread ... but ShoeMoney just tossed another $2,000 into the contest ... with some very generous conditions - way to go Shoe! ;-)

    Edit: Shoe was posting here as I was writing as can be seen above.
