Have you been stretching your brain to figure out a way to SEO your new website without spending thousands of dollars? Well, if you follow the cue of Mani Karthik, you can get your website SEOd for no cost at all.

Mani is an SEO himself. But he’s having other people do the work for him. In the end, it will only cost him $250. OK, so it’s not free, but he doesn’t have to buy links and he will likely get thousands of inbound links for the mere price of $250, what some links would cost all by themselves. How’s he doing it? He’s running a contest.

Yes, Mani is building a personal website and challenging the readers of his SEO website to help him with the off-site SEO of his personal site. Brilliant, I say. The winner will receive $250 in prize money. You can do the same with your new website.

You may not necessarily run a contest on SEO, but you can run a contest that requires people to link to your blog or website in some way. If you get just a dozen people to enter the contest and spend 60 days talking about you, driving traffic to your site, and building inbound links for you, it will be worth a few dollars just to see your website’s trust factor go up. All you have to do is give a little nudge.
