It’s official and final. 24 hours ago, Benj’s friends and colleagues started congratulating him for sticking to the #1 position in the SEO World Championship’s “globalwarming awareness2007″ contest with his www.goglobalwarmingawareness2007.com entry but that wasn’t official just yet as the contest staff needs to evaluate the winning entries and check them for any violations. Everybody waited until today when it was all announced.
And guess what… Benj Arriola held firmly to his position and was finally announced to be the winner of a Brand New Citroen C2 car while the 2nd and 3rd placers won a Carribean Cruise and a Sony Plasma TV respectively. As always, I took a screenshot of the webpage announcing the winners to freeze this moment in time.
Benj already gave thanks to all those who helped him by writing a blog post entitled “SEO World Championship is Over” which proves that such an endeavor as this cannot be accomplished alone. While he did mention the typical tips to win such as “content is king” and that “design is important,” what took my attention most was when Benj said, “SEO is a pay-it-forward type of industry. The more help you give out to other people, the more help you receive when you need it.” This is indeed true and perhaps not only in the SEO world but in any other venture.
Well, that says it all. Benj you’re great and you inspired many as seen here, here, and here. Now, may I borrow that Citroen C2 and take it for a test drive? Hehehe… Congratulations dude!
