Now that I have enumerated these 3 groups… I would like to point out number 2.

For those that gave me sitewide links near the last minute… some people have different thoughts on this, but with my thoughts, a sitewide link is too fast of a link building technique considering the near closing of this contest. I personally fear the sitewide link when the contest is near it’s ending because I have this belief that the link building will be to fast and may trigger some delay filter. An editorial link still in my opinion works best.

Next is, in the last few weeks, I have see people giving me 301s that I believe were not present before. Although I appreciate your concern in helping out, please be aware that this is a no-301 rule contest. Aside from that, adding your 301s in this last few days is not that effective since it was added at the last minute. I am not fully aware of everyone who did this, but two people I clearly have seen doing this is…

G. Ortiz and M. Rogers

As for Ms. Ortiz, I have spoken with her after one of the people on UK Webmaster World asked me about one site. I saw what you did. I appreciate the help. And thank you for taking off the 301 you added at the last minute.

Now for Mr. Rogers, well what can I say. I never had any plans of talking to you which I believe you already know. And whatever you are doing, which I am not really sure, if you are helping or putting me into disaster. I have seen your site a few weeks back (thanks Eli for telling me about this 301) and it barely had content and now you change it to a 301. Please remove it. It was added too near the end and it will barely help too. Thanks but no thanks.

UPDATE: I posted this at the spur of the moment and was not quite sure how the tone of my blog post is. I did not wish to offend anyone and did not mean I do not appreciate your help. What I meant was simply stick to editorial post. A blog story with a link will do. And no 301s please, it’s too late in the contest day anyway. Same with sitewide links, just stick with editorial links. That’s all. Again thank you and I very much appreciate your concern.

SEOContest2008-Sphere.com has been trading places with me for the number 1 and 2 spots. It has been like a daily unstableness. In the previous SEO contest I have joined, I usually do nothing in the last few days of the contest. Mainly because if you over do it, there is also such a thing as over optimize, that may affect your ranking even more. In the SEO World Championship, in the last two weeks I literally did nothing myself and the results seemed to be more stable then. But for this contest, results change like on a daily basis, where sometimes I am number 1, sometimes I am number 2.

Team SEOSphere is not Stopping

As much as I want to stop to avoid any sudden drops, the SEOContest2008-Sphere.com team seems to keep going on. And it seems like their work is paying off. And whatever I start doing now, may not be enough to stay back at the number 1 spot. Aside from that, doing it too much too fast can drop me down as well. In fact sometimes I do not like changing my site that much when I am already ranking high. But in this case, I saw the need to.

Wild Ride on SEOContest2008!

James kept me on my toes with only 3 days left, I know I can’t do anything about it. My friend from 55 Brownlow Ave. would sure be happy knowing that I am jittered. I have this book I need to photocopy. And I’ve heard that you have a great Xerox machine over there that can do 10,000 copies per minute. I’m losing hope, thanks for giving me some consolation knowing that you are the champ.

I joined the SEO World Championship by Get Updated last year. This so called annual SEO contest that started in January 15, 2007 and I was waiting for this annual event in 2008 which just did not seem to come. With my best effort to look for the next best SEO Contest, I ended up joining UK Webmaster World’s SEO Contest.

I won the SEO World Championship and won my SEO contest car, but for the UK Webmaster World contest, we still don’t know yet who really wins. This contest ends on April 1 and as much as I try to maintain my lead, I know Paul Sanches and Martin Svilenov, current number 2 and number 3 respectively are not stopping in trying to get the top spot.

But even if I won the SEO World Championship, my whole SEO strategy was completely different in these two contest.

Yup, after checking several data centers after Ed sent me an IM and told me he’s been seeing me at number 2 on some DCs. I decided to check it myself and it has been inconsistent as some show me at #1, some show me at #2 on Google. With 1 week left, it is still anybody’s game. …continue reading

I have heard this over and over by various bloggers and present day SEO experts. Although many oldschool SEO practitioners have a strong affinity in the belief that W3C validating, compliant HTML or XHTML and CSS helps a lot in the ranking algorithm. Now is there any truth to this?

As I am seeing more and more efforts by competitors like seocontest2008-sphere.com making more blog post by creating more Blogger accounts for more links from blogspot.com domains and seocontest.uk.com now using PPC which I am sure they probably know that PPC does not help organic ranking directly, but can generate traffic and hopefully invite more link bait possibilities as they both work on their last 15 day streak to get the number 1 spot on Google.com for SEOContest2008. These efforts give me jitters that prompts me to do my moves as well to maintain my position and hopefully does not make me come off my current ranking. Thus I decided to revive my top SEOContest2008 secret weapon! (shhhh, don’t tell anyone, it is a secret!) …continue reading

I never noticed I have the wrong URL on the graphic image!

I have been receiving this quite often already.

Just earlier, a few hours ago, although I was not able to replicate this, the 72.*.*.* IP block of Google datacenters was briefly showing seocontest2008.uk.com as number 1. And it seems spreaded among this block showing mixed results with either me or seocontest2008-sphere.com or seocontest2008.org interchanging 2nd, 3rd and 4th places.

But after a 30 minutes of checking, I could no longer replicate the results I was seeing except for one datacenter I visit having seocontest2008.uk.com as number 1. But I also noticed most of the cache dates seemed to roll back to March 1, 2008 even if a few days ago many results were having the March 4, 2008 cache date. …continue reading
