I knew the New Zealand SEO Challenge 28th of November deadline was looming when I started to see the decorations going up in the Shopping Mall on the weekend..why they chose an Xmas theme I’m not sure but excited to see that New Zealand business community are finally getting behind SEO.

Yes with only 5 weeks to go, the best SEO’s in New Zealand will be aiming for the top position and secure their time in the media spotlight with the media training and PR Campaign courtesy of SwayTech and Mobile Marketing pack from Texsys. With Paul Henry out of the picture, there’s now no need to be nervous..

Good luck everybody!!

So what does Q* mean?

With the official keyword not existing prior to the New Zealand SEO Challenge, competitors have been coming up with their own funky definition of what it means (*there will be some sort of a prize at the end for the most outstanding definition). The creativity has been increasing lately, with many new late registrations putting their spin on the word. Check out some of these great definitions:

The strongest, disgustingest, most flower droopiest smell mankind has ever been unlucky enough to whiff.
A classic kiwi band with hits about Search Engine Optimisation. Hits include- Jeremiah was a full blog, R-E-S-P-E-C-T-S-E-O, DJ Spin that Article, Stairway to Google, How am I supposed to rank without you (an ode to links) and the epic metal track “One”.
The 2.5% gap in the GST between 12.5 and 15 percent

All brilliant! So at this stage we are 1/3rd of the way through the competition. Remember that the winner should be able to make it to Auckland for the media training that comes with the main prize for the media/PR campaign. Keep up the great work!
