Contest: Win a RustyBrick Bag Filled With Search Engine Roundtable YoYos

Hawaii SEO came up with a great contest idea, winning himself a RustyBrick bag filled with RustyBrick Bag filled with Search Engine Roundtable YoYos.

Now you can win the same thing... How?

In the comments area below, list out a contest idea to win a bag. The individual that comes up with the best contest idea, wins an RB bag filled with many SER YoYos.

Yes, that means there will be one more chance to win an RB bag filled with SER YoYos. Whatever contest idea I pick, the winner of that contest will also win an RB bag filled with many SER YoYos.

I think I will keep this contest open until Friday the 24th of November. So think of your ideas and submit them. If someone posts the same idea, I will pick the first one that posted it. You can submit as many ideas as you like, so yes, multiple entries for this contest is allowed.

Good luck and congrats to Hawaii SEO for this idea and for winning an RB bag filled with many SER YoYos. Hawaii SEO, email me with your address info...

How about this - whoever posts the best photograph of an RB logo created using the most unique, strange materials wins the contest?

You need a Ted Leonsis contest. Whoever after a certain period is ranked #1 for Ted Leonsis wins a prize. Each entrant must link back to you. When the top 100 for Ted Leonsis doesn't even include his blog, and you are the reason, that's some great link bait ;)

um....how about first one to stop by your office and say "Can I have a Rustybrick pack with yo-yo's?"

or...the person who takes the most pictures of other SEO's ;) ?

or...the person who guesses the closest amount of yo-yo's in the backpack ... 15?

Do a trivia contest -- with 3, 5, or 10 questions. The answers, of course -- can all be found in your previuos blog posts!

Posted by: Karen Chaton | November 19, 2006 8:51 PM

Create a list of the rankings algorithms that Google uses to computer SERPs positioning...

Have to top SEOs vote on the best list

How about a "Danny Sullivan look alike contest"? Can even be done online by photo upload.

Posted by: Ulrich Wisser | November 20, 2006 4:02 AM

Damn it Barry, just after I kicked my yoyo addiction and you come out with this! ;)

How about the person with the highest alchohol level at SES Chicago wins? I can acquire a breathaliser machine on the way out of the airport.

First to make (have the idea) a 1 page site that makes $2millions ;)

Posted by: gabs | November 20, 2006 5:47 AM

What about the first person to take a picky of a brick that is rusty ?

Posted by: gabs | November 20, 2006 5:50 AM

Well that's a good way to get more ideas and thougts on a particular topic.It's real fun to listen to the different opinions of people.

Posted by: No Name | November 20, 2006 6:07 AM

ok how about the most generic comment in a blog comment / forum..

Like "wow that works"..

Or "My job is to post links in forums/blogs.. Can you helps www.crapsite.info"

;)

Posted by: gabs | November 20, 2006 6:46 AM

Good ideas guys. :)

Jim, if you come out to my office, after having a kid last week, then you deserve a bag. ;-)

Hawaii SEO, please email me your info so I can mail you a bag with some YoYos.

Good luck, the rest of you.

Hey Barry,

It has to be the classic 'guess how many yo-yos are in the RustyBrick bag' competition.

My guess: 96.

: )

Here is a grand idea: The contest should be , why would anybody want a RustyBrick Bag full of Yo-Yo, the one that comes up wit the best most orignal answer wins....

Posted by: N Katz | November 20, 2006 9:42 AM

Though it doesn't explicitly say that you need to keep things SEO related, I'll focus most of mine on that topic:

You could hold a contest for whomever can do the best yo-yo trick (post on youtube, and link here).

You could hold a contest to see the craziest thing a person would do to win a computer bag full of yo-yos.

You could choose a granular keyword, have people generate a website and whomeever's site ranks the best in the search engines wins the coveted bag.

Wow, who knew so many people would respond to this :) No ideas here, but save a bag for me!

Posted by: wife | November 20, 2006 10:42 AM

I have to get this bag! ;)

Here's my idea(s):

- Hold a contest to see who can submit the best photo manipulation that would relate to SEO.

Posted by: Vernon | November 20, 2006 11:34 AM

How about whoever builds the most one-way relevant links to the Roundtable or Cartoon Barry Blog over a certain period of time? ;)

How about whoever submits the best yoyo tricks via video?

Posted by: chris boggs | November 20, 2006 11:47 AM

How about a contest where people submit pictures of the words SEO, RustyBrick, SER appear in creative ways, then you can have a follow on contest where people have to find all the hidden words. It's like a Where's Waldo type deal... except crazier.

Posted by: jim | November 20, 2006 11:57 AM

How about a online scavenger hunt across the internet or just on Cartoonbarry.com?

I got the idea after playing something like this over at tenhunt.com and had a blast.....

Posted by: Imnotadoctor | November 20, 2006 12:33 PM

How about a contest where you ask people for contest ideas? Oh, that's been done? ;)

Ok, how about photoshopping CartoonBarry either around the world (traveling gnome style), or into historical events (Gump style)?

Posted by: Simon Heseltine | November 20, 2006 2:48 PM

What ppl won't do for a RB bag!
How about one for the guy who put you thru school, got RB their first big gig, and taught you all you know about search (only kidding). Any way, I just walked in and got my bag.....

...jeez...

The amount of responses on this post....and the many new faces.....illustrates what happens any time something is given away FREE.

Oh well...I say, "if you can't beat em', join em'"

Please put one aside for me too ;)

My 10 cents: a contest to design the next cool rusty brick schwag? :)

Posted by: Joost de Valk | November 21, 2006 1:10 PM

do u ship overseas???

Posted by: Adam | November 21, 2006 1:41 PM

Not sure, Ill deliver it by hand to you Adam.

Posted by: Barry Schwartz | November 21, 2006 2:09 PM

List as many ways as possible to use a yo yo?
The ones with the most or with the most insane ideas or both wins.

A contest to distribute as many yoyos to SEOs as possible. The better well known the SEO, the better. Winner determined by you.

Anyone to sell the most YoYos (or possibly other RB stuff) from 1 Dec to the New year wins.

Posted by: Yuri | November 22, 2006 12:19 AM

And one more.

The one to distribute the most YoYos at the next SES Chicago wins.

Posted by: Yuri | November 22, 2006 12:22 AM

I did promise I'd get my GF dance with the yoyo on video.. She up for it so i'll do it tonight..

Ask Wit for proof.. ;)

Posted by: gabs | November 22, 2006 6:49 AM

Some really good suggestions guys.

I will vote on it this weekend and announce the winners soon after. You still have until this Friday evening to submit ideas.

Ben, Chris and I will all vote.

I think we may announce the winner Tuesday night on our show, the Search Pulse and then post the info later on the blog.

what about the person who can take as many pics of a piece of paper with your url on it over a 24 hour period wins? That would make a cool page on your site, from different nationalities.

or..

cook some food that speels your url... like a cake with the url on top, butter over toast or the url in coco over the top of a capechino!

or..

the best yoyo design (for your next batch of yoyo's (They seem popular!)

or..

the first person to get your url as a tatoo! (OK, this was a joke!)

or..

the first person to a pic of your url on a famous land mark such as buildings/staues

Thats it for me. If I win, please donate my bag to your local charity shop as i'm not that keen on yoyo's or the style of the bag!

Good blog by the way, just fount it today!

(sorry for my poor spelling :-)
