Thread: The 45 day SEO Keyword Challenge

I would like to offer all the blogging members here at web talk forums an open invitation to our communities 45 day SEO Keyword Challenge.

In no way is this meant to be a competition but if any members decide to select the same keywords to rank for you may end up seeing each other fight for top spot.

The goal of the challenge is simple; select a word and rank within the top 5 spots in Google for it but within 45 days. This can be a keyword or keyword phrase.

The 45 day SEO Keyword Challenge

How it works?

1. Write an article about the challenge on your blog.
2. In the article state the keyword you will be trying to rank for.
3. Link back to our 45 day SEO Keyword challenge in your article. (optional)
4. Post a reply here with letting us know you will be participating.
5. Join the forum discussions and share your ideas
6. Help one another find ways to rank higher if we are having issues.

When does it start?

I would like to market and promote the idea a little and give our members time to pick the keywords. I was hoping to start the challenge within the next 48 hours. The challenge will run from Friday May 15th 2010 to Monday June 31st 2010.

I'm subscribed so post any questions you have here or on my blog article.

Thanks,

Brian
