Underdog Web Site Tries to Win $7,000 Google Search Engine Contest for Charity
CALGARY, AB -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/19/06 -- SEO's (Search Engine
Optimizers) are having a contest to see who will rank #1 in Google for
the nonsense phrase "V7ndotcom elursrebmem" on May 15th, 2006 with a
first prize of $7,000 and a 30 GByte iPod. With that much money at
stake, SEO's world-wide are using all of their bags of tricks and
strategies (including some nefarious black hat techniques) to
"convince" Google that their web site should rank #1. But one underdog
web site is giving these seasoned professionals one heck of a run for
the money and trying to win that prize money for a good cause.
www.watching-paint-dry.com will donate all contest winnings directly
to charity -- specifically, the University of Maryland Center for
Celiac Research (CFCR). And with a groundswell of interest, it just
might win that $7,000 for Celiac Disease as countless web sites have
taken notice and are already talking/linking to it a spontaneous
grassroots effort to help out. In fact, this Press Release was handled
by one cyberspace supporter who graciously volunteered (thank you
"FrankB somewhere in the Canadian Rockies") to submit it.
Three days into the contest, Google says (screenshot) there are 32,500
v7ndotcom elursrebmem web pages with the celiac charity site ranking
#1. But can it retain that spot for 4 months to win the $7,000 -- stay
tuned!
While the person behind the V7ndotcom Elursrebmem for Charity web site
wishes to remains anonymous, the web site states: "the reason I'm
doing this is because my two kids have Celiac Disease -- an
intolerance of gluten ... and when my kids grow up, I would like to be
able to go out and have a beer and pizza with them." The CFCR web site
says: "we have worked with them before and are appreciative of their
latest efforts to not only increase awareness about Celiac, but also
raise funds for our research efforts."
CFCR Operations Director Pam King adds: "This sounds like an
interesting contest and the Center is pleased to be working again with
a very committed person who cares deeply about his kids and helping us
find a cure for celiac disease." CFCR Medical Director Dr. Fasano
comments: "V7ndotcom elursrebmem sounds like a dreadful malady, but
celiac disease is my top priority right now and every research dollar
brings us one step closer to finding a cure for it."
Web site owners can help out by linking to the V7ndotcom Elursrebmem
for Charity web site by letting others know and adding a link to the
