Jon Fisher – Google Comp

If you have been in the affiliate marketing realm for any amount of time, you'll probably have heard of Jon Fisher. Jon is the owner of wickedfire and the blog a o jon.

I had heard many things about Jon Fisher and so when I heard about meeting him when I was at the AzoogleAds Appreciate day, I was happy. This dude knows his stuff and doesn't hold back. It's great actually. I'd rather be around someone who is the same 100% of the time than someone who changes depending on who they are around.

Anywho, he and I decided to have a fun White hat search engine optimization bet of who could rank better for each others name.

Essentially my goal is to rank JonathanVolk.com as high as I can for Jon Fisher and he is trying to rank as high as he can for Jon Volk. The deadline is when we meet at affiliate summit east.

Really after looking at the search results for Jon Fisher, he has the upper hand because I'm competing against this guy who has had a high trust rank, low spam, site since 2002 up on the first result. DOH! It should be interesting trying to out rank for it.

The rules are simple really. We cannot use any black hat techniques. I think this is more for Jon than me as I'm not much of a black hat guy. All optimization cannot be done by anyone except us. We cant use friends blogs and such.

This contest idea was thought up by Mr. Fisher when we were discussing some cool terms that Jon used to rank for over an AIM Conversation. It's pretty crazy what this guy has done over the past years.

The Stakes:
The winner of this competition will get one blog post about how great the other person is as well as having to get 20 links to the other persons sites using some higher trust ranking sites. I could really use this...

Just as a side note, if you want to link to this contest, please link to either both of our pages or none just so we're fair.
