Well, I’ve been paying a little attention to the sulumits retsambew competition on the NetBuilders forums. It’s rather interesting, and I figure it will teach a lot. I considered joining but thought it would be best to put my time towards other projects.
I’m sure some are wondering, what the heck is sulumits retsambew? I know I did when I first saw the word. But now look at it backwards, webmaster stimulus. With the United States economy how it is now, and Obama giving out his stimulus, Will over at NetBuilders thought he would offer a webmaster stimulus. The webmaster stimulus is a SEO competition. The goal is to be rank in the top three for the term “sulumits retsambew” in Google. First price is $1,000, so it would at least pay for a few hours a week of work for the next few months. I think it’s rather clever and am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
After following it for a few days or so, I realize that it couldn’t hurt to throw up a page now, and see what happens. Right now I’m just going to throw up a few backlinks, but some day I may find time to really compete. I figure at the very least, it will be an educational experience.
And we’re off…
