The Early Bird Gets The Sulumits Retsambew

Punctuality and good timing are good things in any competition, but they could give you an even larger advantage when it comes to SEO contests like Sulumits Retsambew. You get to do a number of things and employ many techniques that won't be available to competitors several weeks down the road.

But don't expect those advantages to just fall into your lap. You've still got to work for them, and you've got to work for them fast. You're not the only bird in the flock, you know.

Get That Keyword-Friendly Domain

Nobody knows for sure if the current Google algorithm looks at the presence of keywords in your domain name. Many distinctive voices, however, have already mentioned that it (or some previous one) does. Still, it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

You probably know by now that domains are extremely exclusive commodities. Only a single person can lay claim to one domain at a time. With domains, the rule is basically first come, first served. In a keyword contest like this, you can be sure that everyone's jockeying for that keyworded domain.

Dotcom (.com) domains will most probably the first ones to be taken up, so you might want to set your sights on other top-level domains (TLDs) instead. The judges won't be looking at which TLD you used anyway, so it shouldn't matter which one you use.

Use the News

Information is the primary commodity on the Internet. If you've got news or something new to tell, site owners and webmasters will be willing to work or pay for what you've got to say. And the Sulumits Retsambew contest counts as news for most sites.

Now would be a good time to approach news sites and Internet blogs to tell them about the contest. There's a good chance that they'll publish the news, and then include a link to your site as thanks for the news tip. And, as every SEO practitioner knows, incoming links (especially from popular sites and blogs) are good news on any day.

Stock Up!

It's also a good time to start stocking up on content. Modern SEO is a content-intensive business, and quality content takes time to produce. You can't just conjure content out of thin air, even if you have multiple service providers working around the clock.

Whether you're going to start a blog or submit articles to a directory, it's a good idea to start as early as you can - now, if it's possible. It takes time for those things to improve your rankings. Besides, you can get them for cheaper if you're in a hurry.

There's no time, as they say, like the present. The saying is particularly important if you want to win this SEO contest. Time is of the essence, so you'd better make wise use of the extra time you've got.
