The Best Free SEO Resource on the Web
In SEO (search engine optimization) contests, webmasters compete to rank best on Google for a given (usually nonsense) keyword or keyword combination.
Following these contests is a great way to see how the best SEO experts go about SEO, and a good test of what really works to get your website to the top of the search engines.
One contest running at the moment is the contest for the term “V7ndotcom Elursrebmem”, and there are some great resources on both wikipedia and the contestants’ webpages that explain why the winners pages are ranking so well, and the steps they take to rank well. Best of all, most of the info is free!
Enjoy the show and don’t forget that we are running a survey on how we can improve this podcast. There is a $50 Amazon.com voucher to be won just for completing it.

Next week we’ll be interviewing brilliant publicist Chelsea McLean.
Chelsea is one of my city’s leading boutique publicists and has done work for us before. Work that has simply blown away any result we’ve ever got from advertising.
We’re recording the interview on Wednesday so will post it on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning (depending on how long it will take to edit).
Chelsea has some fantastic tips for getting publicity for small to medium businesses with a tight budget - like they say in those cheesy commercials, if there is one interview you should listen to this year, it’s this one!
