It hasn’t even been one full day and Google shows 69 results for Sulumits Retsambew. It cracks me up to see the junk sites that are involved. They may rank, but those sites are the ones you hate getting on. Filled with blinking banners and pop-ups (ha ha – blocked!) I think of the amateur builders from the 90’s.

Those attempting to rank for “sulumits retsambew” without using popular social media sites are not as highly listed as those who are. Mike Dammann used digg to get a head start, but was taken over by the .org site showing that Google still gives more weight to the domain name having the keywords in it. Mike’s site Firetown is showing #9 right now for this Sulumits Retsambew page.

 The .net owner thought he could get creative and claim that it is his name on a comment sent to this blog. I am guessing he wanted a link and try to stir up link bait by controversy. It might have worked if he applied for a name change…

Of course these domain name were taken very quickly:

www.sulumitsretsambew.com
www.sulumitsretsambew.net
www.sulumitsretsambew.org
www.sulumitsretsambew.biz

What is sulumits retsambew?

It is for an SEO contest brought on by www.NetBuilders.org (a new, but good webmaster forum.) The two made up words are actually just “webmaster stimulus” spelled backwards.  The rules for this SEO contest can be found here sulumits retsambew 

If you want to test out your skills in SEO head on over to NetBuilders.org and read more about it and get your website or pages ready to compete. The prizes are decent and the contest ends August 15th.

As you can see the keywords are not recognized English words so the competition will be amongst those competing. I would recommend anyone in SEO to at least experiment with this competition. Try a page only with outbound related links, try a site with just the title tags and description with one inbound link with the keywords as the anchor text. Maybe just make a page and get only directory links pointing to it to see the value those links may have. So even if you are not “competing” use this for a learning activity.

Maybe to keep track of the players I will post the sites on this blog that are competing and the top 3 of the week. See what works fast and what works long term.

So get your sulumits retsambew now! Or should I say get your webmaster stimulus now? Well, either way the first place winner (on Google) will get $1000 from NetBuilders.org!
