[Digg]While this is a sidetrack for Info Ireland, I thought it might make interesting reading. Right now there is a SEO competition going on within the Irish SEO community to see who can rank for the term ‘Geansai Gorm‘ (meaning blue jumper) by December 1st.

Criteria:

* Entries open to all Irish individuals and Irish businesses.
* Search is to be performed on google.ie. Without Pages From Ireland selected, with personalisation off and from an Irish IP address.
* The domain to rank must be a new domain. Must not contain the keywords in the domain name at all and no ccTLD domains are to be used.
* Only want the homepage to rank, not other non-useful pages.
* 301 redirects are not permitted.
* Keywords as gaeilge instead of english but copy can be in English

Right now the sites are all very generic and very unimaginative with the current leader writing about ‘I can has Geansai Gorm’ but the site is ranking number 1 so it is hard to argue:

My god even my cat is starting to help out with the competition. Here you can see him sporting a lovely Pur.. er .. Gorm jumper. He’s really quite partial to a nap on a nice Geansai Gorm so if you ever feel the need for a nap during the day there’s nothing quite like a lovely blue jumper to snuggle up into. (At least thats what the cat tells me)

Geansai Gorm Rankings

By far the most interesting site I have read to date is Asgaelige.com. Unfortunately this site ranks nowhere for the term Geansai Gorm to date, but their approach, Geansai Gorm is a mythical Bungee Jumper from the Arran Islands is at least interesting.
