Hello Benj, welcome to UK WW, don't you think you should win it first before planning how you will spend it?

You need to do much more thank that Bionic Woman, you need to use SEO methods such as link building and other stuff to get to position one for the keyword we will announce on the 31st of January, the contest if for 3 months, if you are number 1 in 3 months, then you are the woman

Yes I read that. Sorry, forgive me if I did not understand it quite well and just wanted to make sure of the rules.

You may use a domain, folder, or sub domain as your optimised page with one criterion. The page must be brand new, no backlins no cached version

I just wanted to clarify because...
  • A new page may not necessarily be a new domain. An old domain may have a new page on it.
  • No backlinks and no cached version. But when the contest ends, everyone will have backlinks and everyone will have cached versions appearing on the search engine's cache. Does this mean you will all check the entries of each participant at the start of the contest?
When you mentioned The page must be brand new, then I believe it would be a lot more clear if it mentioned the domain to be brand new.

When you mentioned no cached versions. I believe this is also unclear. Since first thing that comes to my mind is search engine cache. And even after a week a website goes live, it can have search engine cache already.

So right now I am only assuming, old domains are not allowed. And if this is true, I think the rules should have said:

You may use a domain, folder, or sub domain as your optimised page with one criterion. The (page) domain must be brand new, (no backlinks - Everyone will have backlinks when the contest is done.) no cached version found on Archive.org

Omit text in parenthesis.

Benj,

It does not have to be new domain. For example if you have a domain "some_domain.com" you can create new sobdomain something like seo_contest_term.some_domain.com or subfolder like some_domain.com/seo_contest_term and use it in competition. This subdomain or subfolder can not be created before January 31st.
When you create new page Archive.org will not have cached version of it before it's spiders crawl it. When you register the page you will be optimising for the contest we will check for cached version of it on Archive.org - if there is cached version dated prior to January 31st page will not be allowed to participate.

If you prefer to register new domain for the contest - go ahead but make sure not to create any pages on it (even the index one) before contest starts.

I hope this answers your questions.
