One semi-SEO contest that happened last year that won’t likely have a repeat is the Filipina Writing Project. I observe the challenge for that contest is being able to sustain what it intends to do which is to have greater visibility for Filipina-related write-ups and websites online. Today, most search engine results seen online refers to sites that promotes the Filipina in a different light.

Filipina keyword Google search engine results in US and Australia

I think even on a small scale, this should be continued and perhaps done twice a year similar to the Busby SEO Test experience in order to make it sustainable in achieving its purpose.

The blog post winners last year were:

• The Funniest Filipina Vloggers
• Ako si Pina.. At ito ang aking kuwento…
• Superiority of Women in the Philippine Society
• Filipina as Other
• Two Popular and Unique Individuals, Both Filipina
• The Filipina Campaign
• Filipina 2007

For the SEO competition part, the following won:

• Google – Filipina
• Yahoo – Filipina
• MSN – Hindi lang Filipina Dating, Dating Filipina, Wow Filipina talaga!
