They're starting a contest where if you can outrank their Wix website optimized for "seo hero", they give you 50k.

The stipulation being, you have to be position 1 and you can't use any tactics that violate Google's guidelines.

impossible to win as "following guidelines" is extremely subjective and up to them.

Lol, so if you use links to rank, they can just claim you violated Google's guidelines and not pay you. In addition to that, they will reverse engineer your ranking method and you just lost time and money for nothing. And we all know you can't rank for such keywords with just on-site SEO alone, you need links and powerful ones.

I kinda want Google to enter this contest just so they can slap them with a sense of humbleness

Can't use blackhat tactics and you can't enter if you're outside the USA....

I'm tempted to blackhat the shit out of it with a big banner that says "fuck off wix" on the header.
