With only half a month remaining in the Isulong SEOph Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Contest, Google has not been moving the search results that often for the keyphrase Isulong SEOph since the last Google dance of August 26, 2006 as many of the competitors still try to cram their way to get a prize winning spot in the SEO Contest organized by SEO Philippines headed by its founder Marc Macalua.

The Isulong SEOph Contest was initiated by the members of the SEO Philippines (http://www.seophilippines.org) growing community of SEO advocates within the country of the Philippines and includes many foreign members as well, most of which has been observed to come from the United States and India. The group is still continuing to grow in the mailing list and is now more than 300 members all discussing various topics on SEO.

The contest started last June 1, 2006 where the keywords Isulong SEOph were showing absolutely zero results on all major searching engines. And currently, Google now detects about 1 million pages with the keyphrase Isulong SEOph after the contests has gone into it’s 4th and final month. Being an international SEO contest, but mainly for Filipinos worldwide, the search engine of choice for the contest is Google Philippines (Google.com.ph).

San Diego, California based SEO Benj Arriola, blogger of Action Online (http://www.actiononline.biz) has joined the contest and is already expected by the Philippine SEO community to be present during this event as one of the key personalities. Although he does SEO in his free time where he does have a web designer/developer job, he still tries to manage to remain in competition with the rest of the competitors.

The keyword ranking contest will be judged and awarded on September 30, 2006, at 8:00pm. The venue of the awarding ceremony will be at Pier 1, Ortigas Center, Pasig City, Metro Manila Philippines.
