Since, this blog is nearing its anniversary, it’s time to share some blog money. I just received my payment from Widgetbucks and like what I’ve said, I have no plans of withdrawing it, rather, I’ll make it as a prize to a contest. Now, I’m launching my first ever mini-SEO contest with a prize!
Prizes at stake!
$100 for Google.COM
$50 for Yahoo.COM
Here are the mechanics:
Who can join?
Anyone with a blog and has the ability to receive money from Paypal can join.
How to join?
Simply make a blog post about anything you can think about the contest keyword. Then, submit your entries by commenting on this blog post with your full name and your Paypal e-mail. You can submit as many entries as you want, as long as it is a blog post. The more entries, the more chances of winning. Update: You’re not required to submit your full name as long as you clearly identify yourself on your blog. If there’s no way people can clearly know who you are, then you are disqualified.
How to win?
If your blog post ranks the highest on the mentioned search engines for the keyword on January 4, 2008, 8:00PM, Philippine Time, then you win! I’ll post a screenshot of the winners on January 4.
How to claim the prizes?
I’ll send the prizes via Paypal at most one week after the contest is concluded. No other way. Prizes are not convertible to car. 🙂 So, be ready with your Paypal account, ok?
Required links.
A link to this blog (https://www.macuha.com) is required. The required link should be seen on the cached page during the decision making. Link any way you want, as long as there is no nofollow on it. 😉
Contest keyword.
The contest keyword is Marhgil Macuha 🙂 Of course, I’m disqualified on this contest. Any blog posts written before December 10, 2007 mentioning my name are disqualified too.
Ok. Make your own blog post. Be creative. Be unique. Optimize. And win!
All my decisions regarding this contest are final. Walang aangal, ok? 🙂

Hi Mar! This is my entry http://pinoyambisyoso.com/seo/marhgil-macuha-is-giving-away-150-this-christmas 🙂
Nakagwa na ako ng entry ko.. so the contest begins.. he he he
Marghil Macuha
Yung Email ko na ng paypal ang nilagay ko for security purpose. At pati surname ko andyan na rin…
So start optimization na 🙂 sa ngayon 255 search results pa lang for the record…..
just in case i win just email me for my complete name and paypal hehehe. malay mo mamana ko sa yo yun! haha
salamat sa mga sumali, at sa mga sasali pa. note ko lang, careful with the spelling, sayang ang effort kung mali ang spelling. 🙂 just submit your entries here, ok lang kahit wala pa yung full name at paypal, basta kailangan lang, yung link sa post. syempre, kapag nanalo ka, kailangan ko talaga yung paypal account mo 🙂
hi, Very interesting u have actually put your money in good use , good for us. I will surely try my hand in this contest.
Bye
may mga foreigners pala, i’ll just translate my comment above 🙂
it’s ok if you don’t post your full name and paypal e-mail for now. I just need your blog post links here. and be careful with the spelling, your effort might be gone to nothing if you optimized for the wrong keyword. of course, if you win, i really need your paypal account. 🙂

Panu kung ang nakarank eh ung mismong domain name hindi ung post.

Hi sir,
pwede ba pong sumali ito po link ko:
http://stentorized.blogspot.com/2007/12/marhgil-macuha.html
maraming salamat po!
@philip… the rule is clear, If your blog post ranks the highest on the mentioned search engines for the keyword on January 4, 2008, 8:00PM, Philippine Time, then you win! so, hindi kasali yung domain name lang, we need those blog posts ranking up, not the domain name. hope this gets clearer now. thanks for asking 😉

I’ve joined the contest too.
Here’s my entry, http://silkenhut.com/marhgil-macuha-your-the-man/ 🙂
Just for the record, here’s my entry:
http://www.nierva.com/marhgil-macuha-1st-year-anniversary-mini-seo-contest/
do we have to worry about this post http://www.yugatech.com/blog/seo/does-google-favor-its-own-blogspot/ when using google? Other platform has a slim chance i guess.
@charles, google has a priority on their other products, even in indexing…
I have prove it since my blogspot entry of this SEO contest is already index by google an hour after posting it… unlike when you self hosted a blog, it will take sometime( unless you have a PR, i think) before they index your post.
In SERP, maybe or maybe not… if a blogger user beats marhgil on top spot for this keyword, then maybe theres something..LOLz…
@anyone, does off-page linking with the keyword that points to my post helps in SERP?
Guys just wanna ask what’s the difference of pr (i know this already) to serp? so sorry i am still in the process of learning all this stuff. anyone can answer. Bout you marhgil? 🙂
grabe mukang malabo akong manalo hehe.. gagaling nung mga nasa top
another entry.. hehe imposible ulet.. hehe..
wla lang gusto lang makisali.. hehe

64 comments?
money matters talaga!
nice linkbait!
@charles… let’s see if the hypothesis is true. i think, may advantage ang blogspot on getting indexed first, pero sa ranking, depende rin yan kung gaano kaoptimize yung site. 🙂
@ambo… PR= Pagerank, sabi ni Google, it tells you how important your page is. SERP is Search Engine Results Page.. wala lang, sya lang yung page na listahan ng search result, pina-igsi lang.
heto na ang link nakowz baka ma-DQ pa kow 😀
