(just for fun indeed ! but... why not share some ideas from over the world ?)

Hi Ced, thanks for your reply and offer. "Blue SEO helmets" is a cool team name . I guess you are thinking Black/White Hat SEO related with the team name. You change the word "black/white" to "blue" and the word "hat" to "helmet". It's cool. Ok, I wanna share my ideas as you ask.

Recently I am thinking about the children in the world and their future, inspired by the song of Michael Jackson "We are the world".
They are our next generation and I think it's our responsibility to prepare a better place and a better future for them.

I just have some ideas for keywords phrase of the next SEO contest, related with the children, humanity or maybe spirit religion.
For examples:
"Save the children",
"Better future for the children",
"Give your hands to refugees",
or "renew our inner being"

What do you think about those topics, dudes? Please let me know

I say you must REGISTER your OWN domain after the contest opening date. No blogspots and no old domains

Also if everyone registers a brand spanking new domain, everyone will be on an equal platform.

With older domain/sites that are in existence you can be more aggressive with the link building and an older site will more likely get crawled more often.

In this contest our team win with a new domain.
And i'm agree with Kp an resonate, an older domain is better in Seo, because with a new domain, a site can get down in the sandbox.
I didn't notice the sandbox in this contest, but I notice since 6 months sites getting down and up, sometimes disapear.... and I don't know why...

But, i don't like the rules of the new domain... Because it needs times, and investissements, and some newer webmasters like to try tips just with one page.
And it's funny to see a lot of participants...

@Mes : I thank yout too for your reply, I'll join you by Mp because it's not the right topic to talk about "Seo Blue Helmets" - It's a great idea I think.

My suggestion is everyone is required to register as usual, but no need to show the names of the owners of the sites in the scoreboard until the contest ends.

I believe this is just a way to avoid any early negative tactics going on against a competitor who are perceived to do well in the coming contest.

Thanks for that suggestion, it will be considered.
