SEOContest2008

Come to think of it… search engines do not know what seocontest2008 meant in the beginning of this 2008 SEO contest. Which is the reason why there were zero results, and there were no related results too. Google like other search engines, really do not know the meaning of words and they simply “learn” in a way using semantics. Maybe many of you have heard of LSI already or Latent Semantic Indexing and Google did not buy the company Applied Semantics for nothing a few years back. As we continue and progress with this SEO contest and more and more websites are using the keyword: SEOContest2008, and Google will get a better meaning of this keyword in relation to the other words it commonly co-exists within a page and see how the word is used in relation to other words. Taking note of flow patterns and hierarchical structure as well.

Just my common sense guess, I believe Google already treats the keyword SEOContest2008 to SEO and of course, also contest as more competitors are all talking about this competition. Please also take note, of this common SEO knowledge that relevant links help a lot in SEO.

Just a few days back. this domain was parked on top of seoreligion.com. The topics on SEOReligion was relevant and Wordpress was responsible for all the 301s from the old domain to the new domain. But this was considered an invalid technique that were out of bounds of the SEO Contest rules.

Aside from the benefit of having this redirecting situation, I was running a site on several subdomains. Which were:

• about.seocontest2008.com
• news.seocontest2008.com
• downloads.seocontest2008.com
• seo.seocontest2008.com

All had relevant content in some way and all linked to my contest entry, www.seocontest2008.com.

Now having the 301 rule not in place, seocontest2008.com now is a standalone blog separate from the website that was seoreligion.com.

With the lesser benefit of the 301, I can still link my whole SEOReligion site to seocontest2008.com and get the link love. But would it not be even better if the site was specifically about seocontest2008 so the link in relevantly stronger? I also believe that a relevant site with a domain containing the keywords would benefit a little more to some extent in my opinion. Now all of that is lost, I will still link my site SEOReligion to my official contest entry seocontest2008.com.

My Solution to the SEOContest2008 relevant links

I am going to use the domain seocontest2008blog.com on seoreligion.com. seocontest2008blog.com is NOT my official SEOContest2008 entry. Just in the same way seocontest2008online.com is also NOT my official contest entry. But it can be used on other sites like SEOReligion to make sites seem more relevant linking to SEOContest2008.com.

Now this is compliant to the SEOContest2008 contest rules.

• I still have a standalone contest entry separate from seoreligion.com
• I made seoreligion.com more relevant to the targeted keyword by changing it’s domain to seocontest2008blog.com to make it have a higher relevancy.
• I linked to my site seocontest2008.com from seocontest2008blog.com.

Ok now let’s see how it works. Give me a few minutes to implement this well.
