Hi guys, I just want to announce that I’ve joined the seocontest2008. It was by accident joining the SEO CONTEST but I’m glad in this year I found a new challenge to test my SEO skills.
SEOcontest2008
The seocontest2008 has been started from 1st February, so I’m a little bit late jumping into the seocontest. I can have chance to win $1000, if I win the seocontest. But the competition will be tough since 300 SEO expert also joining the same wagon of seocontest to reach the first position on Google SERP by 1st April.
Obviously if I become the winner of SEOCONTEST2008 it is a great opportunity for me to add more money for my study. At least I can reach 2nd or 3rd position to add $ 100 on my PayPal account.
Well, let’s work out now for seocontest. I still have 1 and half month to optimize this page and boosting it’s position at the top of Google result.
A little update on this page by changing semantic HTML structure. Now the title of this page has H1 tag instead of H2. To avoid confusion, I have changed the Blog title with H2 tag, so the page title become prominent now. I hope Google would understand what I mean with this page and rewarding me with good SERP position.

Finally google indexing this page with my latest version. Here is the index of my seocontest pion.
