The Extreme SEO Challenge That Is Impossible To Achieve Even Top 10 Rankings For
Misc. October 5th. 2007, 8:32pmA thread over at digital point got me thinking on how possible this was. Let’s say SEMSpot blog was to hold a contest in the coming weeks to see who could rank the highest on Google for the term “Google”. Do any of you out there think you could actually rank number one without using photoshop or other editing softeware? I bet nobody could even get on the first page of Google for that keyword, I mean wikipedia is currently ranked 8th for he term. So lets see some results for that term and you will see 9 out of the top 10 are Google owned domains.
I have seen other SEO contest which the contestants are not told the keyword until the day the contest starts and normally it is for some off the wall phrase. Well here would be one heck of a contest to showcase people’s search engine marketing skills, weather white, black, gray, blue, purple, green hat it doesn’t matter. Just show us the highest ranked site and tell us exactly what was done to get it the ranking for the term “Google”. This contest would take a long time to complete, probably would have to give it a good 12+ months or so for the contestants to try and rank there site or sites.
If you look at the google wikipedia, you will see at the time of this post they have 3.2 million back links in googles index and they are only ranked #8. That is one crazy number to try and compete with, we know as of right now your back links and anchor text play a big role in your SERP’s so imagine trying to break into the top 10 for the term google. Is is definitely the extreme SEO challenge and I think impossible to break into the top 10 for. But one could only wonder what it truly would take to do so…what do you think?
