An online academy called the Affiliate Academy is doing a SEO competition for it's students.
There is a class for beginners and one for advanced students to keep the competition fair.
The purpose of the contest is to give the academy's students a chance to use their new learned methods in a real life application. Each division has a different term they are trying to rank for.
The beginners are competing for the term Clean Red Widgets while the advanced group is competing for the term Dirty Blue Widgets.
These are both nonsensical terms to avoid outside competition. This allows all the students to compete against each other in stead of the rest of the WWW and thus gives them an equal opportunity to win.
It runs from 11/10/08 until 2/10/09 and the winner will be the person in the lead at the end of the run. There are a couple guidelines though.
There are no black hat techniques allowed. No one may purchase links to there site. The domain name competing in the contest must not contain any of the words from the target term. And no automated tools are allowed except ones that submit to bookmarking and article directories.
The prize for the first place winner is $1000 for the beginner contest and $1500 for the advanced contest. - 15478
