Caydel’s SEO Blog

QuadsZilla from SEOBlackhat just announced the first SEO poker tournament. The concept is simple - everyone puts links into the pot, and the winner takes all. All the links won must point to a single site or page, but can have whatever anchor text you want.

The ante isn’t actually as steep as I expected to see; of course, to enter the tournament by offering up a link according to the following schedule:

Ante is determined by this schedule:

Page Rank 4 Site: A sitewide link for 1 Year
Page Rank 5 Site: A homepage link for 1 year
Page Rank 6 Site: A Link From a Blog Post or Page on the site with a click distance from home page 2 or less. (i.e.: Home [click1] Page with link [click2] to target site.) for 1 year
Page Rank 7+ Site: A link from a Blog Post or Page on site with a click distance from the home page of 3 or less (i.e.: Home [Click1] About [click2] Friends [click3 is link to target site]) for 1 year.

*The links cannot be “nofollow” and there can be nothing telling the search engines not to index the link (such as disallowing robots or index=none)

** The link must be visible and in the same style as the other links on the page / site.

*** No porn or Pill sites. Some other sites may be disallowed at our sole discretion.

The site you ante the link(s) from must be the same site that will receive the links if you win. That means you cannot ante links from one site and choose to receive the links on another.

There are also cash prizes for the runners-up. $5000 will be divided up between the top 10% of the losers in the tournament.

The tournament will be played on Saturday March 24th, 2007 at 9:00 PM GMT. The game will be no limit Texas Hold’em.

So, check it out.

Note: QuadsZIlla is of course using an affiliate link pointing to the poker software he intends to use… Anyone else see that coming?
