UKWW SEO Contest 2008 version 2.0 Cancelled

It is almost a month since the kabonfootprint SEO contest was announced by UKWW and many of the participants did spend a  lot such as buying a new domain, getting a new web hosting, buying back links and paying to link directories. This cause them a lot of effort, money, time and other resources spent. The other week, UKWW SEO Contest organizer announced that their sponsors all backed-out making the participants very disappointed. In organizing or conduction a world wide competition like this, organizers should make sure of the availability of fund so that they will have no problems later. I understand how the organizers felt about this, very embarassed, but I also understand the “rage” of the participants.

Right now I am designing a mini-SEO contest and I am raising funds for it. Actually I have the funds already but I want more to add on the prize to make it very lucrative so that participants will be attracted to join the contest. I have announced it already in my new personal blog and I will introduce it here officially when I released it on the web. My plan is that I will wait until the Cebu Seo Contest finished before I start my own contest.

Hope that SEO practitioners, NOOB and experts, join the said competition. It will be my pleasure.
