Today i was lurking one of the many webmaster forums, and came across this contest. This would have to be one of the ” now thats different ” contests out there.
If i may quote the original SEOnoobs.com website:
SEOnoobs.com is hosting a SEO contest?
Glad you asked! Basically, at 8pm Central time on February 4th (Monday night), a post will go up here on SEONoobs.Com announcing a keyword or keyphrase that returns ZERO search results. The point of the contest is to build a brand spankin’ new site, and at 8pm Central on March 4th, whoever’s site/blog ranks highest for the said keyword/keyphrase, wins all sorts of fabulous stuff, including a grand prize package worth over $700! (maybe more, who knows!)
I know a lot of folks that visit this blog are pretty new to SEO, so I figured, why not put some of their newly gained SEO knowledge right to work! Not only will you prove to yourself that you can properly SEO a website or blog, but you’ll also have something to stick on your Resume (haha!), not to mention MASSIVE bragging rights, and you’ll walk away with some awesome prizes”
Here is the link to the latest update.
Now! Didn’t i tell you it was “different”
So what are you waiting for, all you SEO gurus out there.

This SEO tip moved my website 300 places on google.com.au
Some search engines will give words found in the “H1″ tag a boost in relevancy. The H1 tag is used to specify page or topic headings. The problem with the tag is that it’s often too big and ugly to use very much. In most browsers H1 is an oversized font that often looks out of place on a page.
The good news is that there is a clever way you can get the best of both worlds by using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). With CSS, you can specify that the browser display the H1 tag or other tags on your page anyway you please. This is great since you can get both a boost in relevancy and get better control of your page’s appearance in one easy step. How?
In the <HEAD> area of the page, put the following STYLE lines:
<STYLE TYPE=”text/css”>
H1 {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black}
</STYLE>
The above will force all H1 tags on the page to use a 12 pt Arial or Helvetica font in black text. You can adjust the point size or font to whatever values look best on your page. By using this CSS tag, you are free to use the H1 tag on ALL your pages to gain extra relevancy WITHOUT sacrificing the look of your pages. Since many engines give more weight to keywords that appear within H1 heading tags versus the regular body text, this is one tip you’ll definitely want to implement today!
or
H1 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12pt;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
or
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
color: #000000;
font-size : 12px;text-decoration: none; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}

You have your site all setup but no-one is visiting! That is where you need SEO - search engine optimization. You can pay money to a SEO expert but it is also possible to do it yourself, FREE.
There is much debate about whether the domain name should include one of your main keywords. I look at it as another little plus in our SEO plan. So if you have a domain name without one of your main keywords you can still use these tips.
We are using our other site www.zipposuperstore.com as an example.
So we have our three popular main keywords for our zippo store:
zippo lighters
zippo tricks
zippo collections
If you look closely all contain the word “zippo”. This is to make things easy when we look at off page ranking, which we will talk about in future blogs.
First thing we need to look at is the page title. The page title should only include our main keywords. Try not to use too many words as Google will give more weight to each of your keywords and you will rank higher.
Please, the page title should not say, “Welcome to our website”. Also do not use say ” zippo lighters and zippo tricks and zippo collections”. Though the last does contain our keywords it does looka little long.
So we will shorten it by doing this “zippo | zippo lighter tricks | collections. Notice We took out the “ands” and replaced them with a “|”. Also only used “zippo” twice for keyword densitity. When possible always combine your keywords to cut down on the total number of words used in your page title. When google looks at our title it will see all 3 of our keywords.
Next SEO blog we will look at ways to boost your ranks by nearly 300 pages by using one simple method.
