SES: The First Annual SEO World Championship

The first annual SEO World Championship has just been launched!

“SEO is one of the fastest growing Internet media channels today. Our objective is to highlight the advantages of SEO surrounding the advertising community and help sustain the technical development within optimization. The main challenge of this contest is for a website to rank as high as possible on the organic search engine results on all 3 search engines (Google, Yahoo and MSN). We will determine the winner based on an average ranking between the selected search engines.”

Sponsored by a leading Swedish SEO company, Eastpoint Media, the contest offers some interesting prizes (in addition bragging rights):

1st prize: a new car
2nd prize: a Caribbean cruise
3rd prize: a plasma television
4th prize: five hundred dollars
5th prize: a hundred dollars

Eastpoint’s Markus Jalmerot and Luar Buso took time out during Chicago’s busy SES conference to chat with Chris Richardson of WebProNews on the subject of SEO, globally and as it relates to their market in Sweden.
