WHAT IS THE PURPLE CHALLENGE?



Are you tired of trying to work out the ideal keywords for SEO? Want to get some new ideas and have some fun playing with them? Care to join me in this experiment? Can we make a relatively common color adjective a hot buzz word for search engines!



LET'S MAKE PURPLE A BUZZ WORD?


While I doubt we'll make the top page of Technorati hopefully along the way we'll generate some traffic for our sites and maybe even raise some money for charity?



So what are the guidelines for the PURPLE CHALLENGE?

Perhaps next to the links list to the other participants with a message like...
