So who is the coolest guy on the planet? James Dean? Marlon Brando? In this cyber age, it is the person listed in Google.com at No1 position for the term, "Coolest Guy on the Planet" that is the real Coolest guy on the planet these days. Back in 2005 Two smart Internet Marketers were having a coffee and the conversation turned around to, who is the coolest marketer online? Which then turned into The Coolest Guy on the Planet SEO competition. They left this meeting to see who could get ranked No 1 in Google.com for this term. They then shared this idea with their friends and customers. Thus the Coolest Guy on the planet SEO (or Search Engine Opitmization) Competition was born. Is there a Prize for becoming No1 in google for this term? No. Do a lot of people watch for this term in Google? Yes! Many top SEO pro's are vying for this Number 1 position in google for this term.
