Last month of July I've found a local SEO contest here in the Philippines, the Cebu Seo Contest. This contest have the lowest ever prizes of seo contest. The 1st prize is Php 700.00 cash , Free 1 year hosting and a free .com, .org, .net or .info domain and +500 EC.

Here are some ideas on why SEO is important. SEO can make the content of your web pages more relevant, more attractive, and more easily read by search engines and their crawling and indexing software. Search engine optimization aims to achieve the goal of getting more visitors to a website by helping it get higher rankings in the search engines.
