nigritude ultramarine

This is kind of old news now, but since I just started this blog, I thought I'd mention the DarkBlue SEO CHALLENGE. It's a contest to see who can get the top spot (and hold onto it) for a search term that they made up (nigritude ultramarine). I like the idea of an SEO competition. I've seen several merchants offer contests like this for their affiliates, but this is the first time I've seen a competition for a made up phrase. The first time I checked Google back on May 7 for nigritude ultramarine it showed zero results, so it really was starting from scratch. How hard could it be to get the top spot, then? Well, when you consider you're going up against some of the best SEOs on the planet, it is a lot harder than you think. I personally haven't had time to even build a page to promote for nigritude ultramarine, but I just checked Google again, and there are 97,400 results for nigritude ultramarine - that's a pretty big jump from zero just 10 days ago! Yeah, it's competitive all right, and it's interesting to see what all these SEOs are doing to promote the finer details of nigritude ultramarine.

If nothing else, this SEO competition was an ingenious way for Dark Blue to promote their affiliate network.

    Nigritude Ultramarine is never an old news!!!
    The news forums dedicated to nigritude ultramarine enjoy the highest levels of popularity and thousand new posts about nigritude ultramarinev every day. :)

    On the serious note: I agree with you 100% about the cheap trick pulled by DarkBlue.

    I see literally hundreds of sites/blogs with very high PR who link to DarkBlue or SEO Challenge site while mentioning nigritude ultramarine competition as a curious news.

    I bet after the next Google update they will come out with PR of 6 or 7 and several hundreds VERY! diverse links including the word SEO in anchor.

    Just kidding. :)
