A Prize You Can’t Even Calculate — Yet
My good friend Stuart over at www.pimpmypagerank.com has a really neat idea for a contest going on.
Unlike the majority of contests that have some fixed prize of pre-determined value, this one is at least as inventive as any I can remember. Here’s the way it works.
How many times have you come across a site in a niche that you know something about and seen that the site owner is obviously having some success, making some money, and wished that you had thought of it first? hmm, be honest now.
Well Stu, who by the way offers some really neat tools on his site, like a very innovative ‘niche finder’ for example, has already come across a nice niche …seems like it will pay decently, narrow enough without being impossibly narrow, etc.
He could just build the site up, rake in some money each month, make improvements, rake in a little more, etc. Instead he decided to make a contest out of building up the site. You merely have to link to the site …as many times as you care to, using anchor text that Stuart wants the site to rank for, and each link followed is automatically an entry.
(Beginner’s note: Link to the site, with anchor text? huh? Like this:
That’s all there is to it.)
Each link over the next few months will automatically make the site more heavily trafficked and better ranked, thus adding value. In August, Stu will award the site to one of the lucky linkers. The more you link the netter your chances and the better your chances the more valuable will be the prize.
I like that kind of thinking … so much different than the usual ‘pay me and I’ll reveal my trade secrets’ kind of scarcity mentality that seems to pervade the ‘Net.
You want a profitable niche site for yourself? can’t do it much easier than to have Stuart build it and the rest of your fellow entrants build it bigger, now can you. Rules are here.
Whatever you do today for your profit on the ‘Net, do something, do something right now before you go to read yet another blog post, from me or anyone else. You’ll be glad you did, trust me.

Thanks for the mention Dave, the site is finally listed in google, and ranked around 150-odd for the term “pasta machine recipes”.
w00t! World domination is ours!
Good. I like the idea of seeing what can be built up over time this way, especially with the contest aspect that should assure a little activity to keep things fresh as time goes by. This blog here i ssomething I’ve had for years and has been essentially dead, I’m going to repurpose it and bring it alove, perhaps both sites will grow together. … or not (the eternal pessimist
)
Hey what a cool idea. It is good to see different strategies like this being tested and documented. How is Stu monetizing this competition, selling pasta makers before he hands it over?
Hi Steve,
Thanks for dropping by and for leaving a comment here … it’s the first real one in years … this site was just sitting around and I have now decided to bring it alive and repurpose it, glad it is attracting attention again.
Yes I am sure Stuart is selling pasta makers off that site, he’s doing several thigs there which interest me … and that’s what makes his little contest interesting too … not only will he try things and report in typical case study format, the more the site succeeeds, the higher the prize value .. a real win-win in my book.
