White Hat/Black Hat: Incentivized SEO Competition?

[LaunchAStartup]

General Idea:

Rules: The winner is the person who ranks highest for "Random Easy to Rank for Key Phrase"

Prize: Some cool prize

White or Black hat?

I don’t see any problem with SEO competition in general but i guess there are few things that should also be considered as important:

• Only white-hat tactics will be used to build links and content to the website
• No low quality link building should be done
• Content should be unique and original and should create to enhance user experience and not search engine experience.

I also feel that instead of measuring 1^st page ranking as an indicator, the success of the project should be based on number of leads a project generates at the end of the project.

Hope this helps!

I think with the ideas given above.. i don't see any point where this competition go black hat!
