Ryan at SEO Noobs have hosted a competition, which many of you are probably aware of by now. The key word is “Yicrosoft Directory” which is a word which had zero results in the Google search when the competition started; it’s also a word that has been put together in the light of Microsoft’s $44.6 billion bid to take over Yahoo. All the competitors have until 4^th March 2008 to produce a website to appear at number one in Google.com search engine rankings. I decided to take part in this competition, not only because it is interesting but to also give myself the opportunity to create and optimise the content of a website the best I can. I guess this is really going to test my skills as a writer! If I can aim to post something remotely interesting daily, perhaps I could get the site to page one! Who knows, but as time goes on more and more people are entering the competition, the Google search alone now holds nearly 2,000 results for “Yicrosoft Directory”. Only time will tell! Of course everyone is in it to win but in all honesty if our website makes it to number one in the Google search I will be more than happy. I’ll keep you all posted on the progression.

I decided to create a Yahoo Directory parody website: http://yicrosoftdirectory.com/. At this point I would like to invite everyone and anyone to submit any type of original, written content to help broaden the horizons! Your help would be much appreciated. If you don’t have anything to say why not come along and vote on the poll anyway.
