The very first giveaway is an easy one:
How to Enter
To enter all you need to do is leave a comment below in the next 7 hours that includes the words “I LOVE SEO!”.
One entry per person. We’ll close this off in 7 hours at 5.30am Melbourne time (that’d be 3.30pm in New York and 8.30pm in London). At this time we’ll launch the next giveaway).
Please note that you need to leave a valid email address in the email field of your comment or we can’t notify you.
The Prize
12 of you that leave this comment in the next 7 hours will be randomly selected to win a copy of Aaron Wall’s famous SEO Book ($79 value)! I interviewed Aaron here if you want to learn more about him and the prize.
We’ll notify the winners in the hours after the competition – we won’t be publishing names of all winners as there will be hundreds of you over the week ahead.
(Don’t worry if you miss it – have you seen the prizes yet to come?)
PS: if your comment doesn’t appear straight away – don’t stress. It’ll probably be in our moderation queue which we’ll clear before choosing the winners.
Update from Lara: WOW! That’s the only thing on my mind right at this moment (aside from knowing I need to go through this MASSIVE list and pull the random 12 winners out)! You folks are really impressive, and I know that Darren’s going to be floored when he sees that the final tally on this post is 764!
Someone had asked if posting the phrase verbatim was important, and I’m glad that the majority of you took that thought to heart ahead of time and posted, exactly: I LOVE SEO!
Yep, that was one of the requirements! It didn’t matter what else you had in your comment, as long as you had that phrase exactly. So please keep that in mind for the rest of the giveaway, gang… it’s meant to make sure you’re paying attention!
Don’t forget to check out the next giveaway… it’s for 500 of you!
And the winners are:

Congratulations to all, now stop looking here, and go check your email! ;)
Is the phrase I LOVE SEO! case sensitive? And are there penalties for leaving out the exclamation mark?
I LOVE SEO!
I LOVE SEO and I love free stuff :)
I LOVE SEO! (Even though, apparently it doesn’t love me.) ;-)
I assure you, this is no kind of “google bomb” as we’re not linking the words anywhere, and technically a “google bomb” is meant to harm another site by linking to it with derogatory words or phrases (nevermind that it doesn’t really work all that well anymore).
It really is ONLY a way to get people to follow directions to qualify, and help us spank the comments out of akismet – you will see that we’re doing this on other posts as well, with other phrases. We chose the phrase because of the kind of prize that’s being given away… no other reason! :)
I have to say something… ehm.. I.. I.. I LOVE SEO!
Yes you heard me I love Sexy Educated Office-workers, of course only if they are female but still :P
