Wix has helped millions of small business owners create a stunning online presence and is proud of their sites’ SEO capabilities. So proud, in fact, that Wix has offered $50,000 to anyone who can outrank them in Google for “SEO hero”. In honor of Wix’s SEO Hero contest we have put together a collection of some of the amazing sites you can build with Wix. In my book, these guys are the real SEO heroes.
Generic Viagra SEO Hero!
With hidden black on black text for added pleasure…
Stolen Credit Card Numbers SEO Hero!
HTTPS compliant!

Teen Porn – Baby Sitter Sex SEO Hero!
Racist SEO Hero!
Oh wait…According to Wix’s contest rules:
The Hero Website…must not contain content that (i) is sexually explicit, violent or derogatory of any ethnic, racial, gender, religious, professional or age group; profane or pornographic; (ii) promotes alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, firearms/weapons (or the use of any of the foregoing) or a particular political agenda; (iii) is obscene or offensive; (iv) defames, misrepresents or contains disparaging remarks about other people or companies;

Reminds me of the ole Dave Pasternack contest a decade ago.
What a unique and disturbing collection of sites. Leave it to our #LocalSEOHero to uncover these gems!
You kill me sometimes Andrew – hilarious 😉
Truth be told, I’ve never thought much of their platform; it lagged behind. As a result, many web designers and SEOs, including me, migrated sites to other platforms. WIX took it on the chin Big time and in some forums they’re was a pile on.
This post made me howl.
Methinks the lady (Wix) doth protest too much. Why would they spend $50,000 on a competition to try and prove that Wix sites can rank? Could it be to try (a little too hard) to counter the reputation that Wix sites’ SEO sucks? But hang on a minute – I thought SEO was NOT about ranking for a single keyword. After the competition, when Wix can say that x% of sites ranking in the top 50 for ‘SEO Hero” were built using Wix, what will that prove? Does anyone use that search term? And isn’t the objective in itself encouraging contravention of Google’s guidelines (for which contestants will be disqualified)? If you read the T&C, you have about as much chance of winning $50k as a hippo traversing the grand canyon on a tightrope.
Ewan, I think this is all about trying to change page one of Google for “Wix SEO”, Google suggest for “Wix SEO” and related searches at the bottom of the “Wix SEO” SERP.
That’ll be it, Andrew.
Yap. I create white hat project https://seoheronews.com and now I under top 100 )
I am shocked their isn’t an affiliated marketing website for Viagra. $50K is a lot of money to bring the crazy’s out. Needless to say, I loved to see Wix rank for SEO Hero using their own platform on a new domain, start from scratch and level the playing field.
