Philipp Lenssen writes "In the Contagious Media Showdown, competitors plant addictive memes to see who's best at viral marketing. The contest pages officially launched yesterday. The grand prize (most unique visitors) is $2000, with three other prizes at $1000 each for most links, most popular entry with a Creative Commons license, or first site with an Alexa ranking higher than 20,000."

Just another SEO contest? by dos_dude · 2005-05-20 05:21 · Score: 4, Interesting

Viral marketing? Addictive memes?

Sounds like just another SEO contest to me. The only twist: not every one needs to use the same stupid made-up keyword.

"Free Lesbian porn , hot naked girls on motor bikes " as a title .
then after that when someone clicks on the page ,, a big bold "Can not be found here , but what we do have is..." no-one is going to return and if the "But what we do have is.. " bit is intresting then you will get lots of links by people who found it funny and were not too narked off you didn't have a heap load of porn
Simple principle of marketing "Sex sells". Simple principle of the internet "Its full of porn"

Yes I remember there being some quiz question about "On the US governments website, which state has the most views of their fiscal statistics" or similar. Turned out to be Alabama, simply because they were at the top of the list.
