Viral marketing is a great way to gain some good brand awareness. It’s the old saying ‘The harder you work, the luckier you get’ but in this case it is using OTP ‘Other People’s Time’ and OPM ‘Other People’s Money’ through viral marketing, to gain brand awareness!

South African companies are starting to look at Social Networking as a great way to market products and brand marketing! Let’s hope this trend continues.

Marc, from Rival Industries, the owner! has come up with a great idea for a competition, a SEO Competition, to see who can get there blog or website listed the highest in Google for the word ‘bundublog’.

So what’s in it for me? Simple! R2000 bucks to the person who can rank the highest for the keyword.

I will be entering, so keep an eye on bundublog

There have not been many SEO competitions in South Africa. The only other one that comes to mind is the Springleap SEO competition, that gave the company some great brand awareness.
