I got a video game message board where I just made a wiki for the members and then challenged them to get there page listed #1 in Google for there username. And to get them to edit there page and then promote it for me, I would like to have a contest where every member who has there wiki page listed #1 in Google for there username in XX days would be entered in a contest for a free video game of there choice (And since it ranges from XXX results to millions, include bonus entries for for every XXX,XXX results the member has to get past.) About how long does it take for the Googlebomb effect to take place?? It's on a domain that's been indexed in Google for four and a half years. So I don't have to worry about the sandbox.
er the contest isn't here, it'll be over on my boards, which is where you made that page!!! So, any one know how long it takes to see da effect of a Google bomb??!! I'm thinking it wouldn't be over 90 days, which is how long I want to give the visitors, with the right to change the end date, depending on what Google does.
Seriously though.. Some of the usernames will be pretty unique so I can't imagine it being that difficult. 2 or 3 good size links should do it for most of the members there. Jesse Smith is a harder one though as its actually your name and has 10 million results (Strong results too) http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&c2coff=1&q=jesse+smith&btnG=Search&meta=
And these are teenagers so they've hardly ever even hurd of SEO, so I don't want to have it hard for them. I just want them to promote the new wiki page for me!!!! I'll allow the "quote" kind of search, which I'll make it even easior for them. Case in point.... http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&c2coff=1&q="jesse+smith"&btnG=Search&meta= From 9,730,000 to 272,000. I think they'll enjoy it. In just the first day, 81 pages were made! Easy way to get new content!! Let visitors do all the work for you and you get a lot of content!!! Is that why wikipedia became so populer!!!!
Yeah anytime you can get the visitors to create your content for you, it is excellent. Sounds like a good contest. - John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
Thats not fair though use your "user name" I can win with my government name as I would be #1 result in 24 hours.
The visitors LOVED the idea of an Encyclopedia just like they loved the vBulletin upgrade since it now has AJAX!!! 99 of them made a profile page in the first day and a half with 405 page edits. I started the contest today (Tues.) and added three new SysOps. I had no idea it could be so easy to get new content so fast!!!!! I just registered four new wiki domains (One being a webmaster one, wikiwebmasters.com. ). I tried seting up a wiki a year or two ago but it didn't work. I think the Google bomb effect will be generated with in 90 days, but just in case, I reserved the right to change the date the contest ended if for example Google was slow at updating.
