Okanecert! What the heck?

I just read about another pointless SEO contest from one of our blogs.

http://www.webforumz.com/blogs/golfreak76/okanecert-27/

Ok, so this isnt the biggest contest in the world, but even so I fail to see the point.

okanecert is not a word
okanecert means nothing!
okanecert is very very easy to rank for!

Ranking highly for any word that does not exist is guaranteed if you place up a page about that word. In this case okanecert as best as I can understand it was a small competition set by a class teacher.

Whilst I take my hat off to the guy for coming up with something to get his pupils busy and off their asses, I cant see why the SEO contest couldnt be for a not so common phrase using real words.... that to me seems far more of a contest.

Choose a search that already has some results... not many but some... say 2-3 thousand. okanecert has 255 results... how many did it have before this competition? My point is that choosing okanecert really is little competition at all. In it's defense, it is however a lot of fun getting top for something... even if it is a non sensical word such as okanecert.

Okanecert is a completely made up word but it is not totally without meaning

It does seem very pointless.
The websites (sub)domain seems to be made of nonsensical, mjade-up words too.

Yeah, what kind of word is okanecert? Pointless if you ask me, okanecert...how is that pronounced? I bet you are trying to get a high ranking on okanecert are you not Rob? The way you said okanecert in your post, and bolded it as such makes it obvious. What a fun game, Webforumz = #1 for okanecert!

A bit keywordy. Your up to no good. I will laugh if this is the winner

Indeedy, all this talk of Okanecert - regardless of what it means or where it originates from - makes me wonder whether Web Forumz will get to the top of the Google Rankings for Okanecert.

alexgeek · October 10th, 2007, 12:18 PM

Okanecert, I wonder how long it will take Webforumz to get right up to number 1 on google for Okanecert. It is an odd word isn't it? Okanecert, I mean.
I'm not terribly fond of the word okanecert. I don't know why I keep saying Okanecert ..

simonb · October 10th, 2007, 12:22 PM

Is this turning black hat Seo. We are saying the word Okanecert to much, let the people that are trying to win, for the word Okanecert.

Ok that only Okanecert.

I think I am closing this thread....

Let me say the magic word: Okanecert.
