Paradise. Philippines. What do words related to travel and relaxation have to do with increasing the number of your web site's visitors? There's an SEO contest running right now (all the way up to January 2008), and if you play your cards right, you'll be able to send a tidy stream of traffic to your blog.

Macalua.com launches a P600,000 Bayanihan SEO Contest, and a lot of site owners are doing everything they can to rank high for the phrase "paradise Philippines."

I'm not participating in the contest, but if this post happens to land in the first page of search engine results for their targeted keyphrase, then you can be certain all those contestants will read this page and wonder how it ranked so well.

There's really no secret. The last time I looked at Google, the site holding the pole position is www.paradisephilippines.com, and you'll probably be amazed by the fact that the keyphrase does not appear in the title of the page.

A lot of SEO gurus advise us to place the keywords in the TITLE tags of our web pages, but here's a case that seems to flout such "rules."

As more and more people start targeting the same keyphrase, you can expect a lot of movement in the SERPs. If you are able to post a lot of useful and relevant information on a regular basis, then your blog posts should make it to the top for "paradise philippines."

Don't rest on your blogger heels, however, since there will be groups that will resort to blog comment bombardment, forum sig seeding, social bookmarking, article marketing, and other linkbuilding activities.

Here's one technique you can try: Build and regularly update a site, but don't mention anything about the targeted keyphrase. Just write well and add posts, so that the various search engines get into the habit of crawling your site.

Then, about a month and a half before the January 2008 deadline, write posts about the targeted keyphrase, and watch your article quickly rise in the Google SERPs.

Is this guaranteed to work? Of course not. But it is worth a try, right?

UPDATE: Looks like there's at least 1 blog post published every hour about paradise philippines, so if you're hoping to gain some prominence for your site via Technorati, your link will probably be quickly pushed out of the front page for your targeted tag.

Between 3am and 6am (GMT+0800), however, there appears to be some kind of blogging lull (Filipinos do need to sleep), so if your post gets noticed by the Technorati bot during that time, you'll enjoy a "longer" stay on the Technorati paradise philippine blog posts page.
