How to get tons of votes online and win a shiny new car
Posted on May 14th, 2009 1 commentWell, this is the last of the videos I’ve produced for the Nissan HyperCube contest, hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it!
Here’s the other videos I produced for the HyperCube contest - my favorite (and the easiest to produce) is still the German Cube Dance:
Nissan Hyper Cube Dance Off
Nissan Cube TV: Daddy Loses it! (this one took an entire day, but it was a lot of fun, especially for the kids)
I would never kill a baby seal!
Ashton - kindly tweet this please (he never did, grrrrr…)

Nissan Hyper Cubed Me!

Alright, round 1 of the Nissan Hyper Cube Contest is over and yours truly has made the final 500!
Wohooo, so now it sounds like I’m going to have to ramp of the creativity big time and really start to pull out the votes.
Hmmm… what to do, what to do. I have a few tricks up my sleeve but I would love any help you could give me on ideas.
Thanks to all of you who have so graciously tweeted and Facebooked the HyperCube.me blog around to friends.
Stay tuned. And thank you Nissan!

My Hyper Cube-ed Search Engine Strategy
Posted on April 5th, 2009 No comments
Even Google wants me to win Nissan Cube’s Hyper Cube Contest!
You can go here to find all the details on the official Nissan Cube “Hyper Cube” Contest page. Tell ‘em Kevin sent you.
One of things I do is Search Engine Optimization. I’m actually quite fanatical about the whole thing because I think it is one of the most important things you can do to market you and your product. So I’ve spent a lot time fine tuning my HyperCube.me site to appear high in the search results for certain phrases related to the contest (which will remain top secret). My thought is that Nissan will appreciate having people driving around in one of the 50 Nissan Cubes they’re giving away who knows skills like this.
Imagine when people searching on Google for information on the Nissan Cube come across me writing about how super-awesome Nissan is for giving me one of their cars to take my daughters out the park on the weekend (with cute-daughter-at-park-beside-car photos of course).
So to my surprise, someone tweeted me to let me know that HyperCube.me is currently sitting in both first and second place in the Google search results for the term “Nissan Hypercube.” Sahweet!
Here’s the screen-grab:
My evil plan is finally coming together!!
Here’s another Nissan Cube Contest site Google seems to like.
