This SEOContest2008 entry was down for 4 days already. Just today it was back-up since the domain this site pointing to was expired and my hosting provider have issue renewing the domain.

The resort is to back it up and now it is up and running again and hope that this will not happen during the end of the contest if this site will make it to the top of google that I wonder will not.

There are still lots of things to do but it seems time is not on our side now. Giving way my SEOContest2008 entry.

With the recent announcement and tallies of World Billionaires, Bill Gates was dethroned from a 13 years of reigning as World Richest People! He was now down at the #3 position on the Chart of the Richest People. Warren Buffett, kicks Gates out of the throne with $62 Billion net worth.

Microsoft shares before the offer to Yahoo is performing well until such offer or intention to buy Yahoo made it drop. Gates might have been the richest again this year if the trend stay even after the offer.

Gates still have 2$ Billion increase from last year with a net worth of $58 Billion this year.

A discussion on the 301 redirect on SEOContest2008 entries are heating up on the organizers site. It seems a few rules have to be fixed before the days remain on the contest. How basically it affects the ranking?

If I have an old site say site A and I have a new site SiteB as my entry. What will I do to have my Site B rank in SE at once is to redirect Site A to Site B. Thus all the trust by SE on Site A will now be pointing to Site B and gain a jump on the ranking.

My call on this issue, the rule should be strict on this kind of contest. Why? If we are promoting a white hat and a fair play, that should be used on the entire contest. An organic linking should be practiced.

Anyway, it is up to the organizers to decide! Goodluck to all seocontest2008 entries. My site is still down there at rank 1000. lol

My entry to seocontest2008 just got sandbox and no where to be found on google but still indexed. With a month remaining I don’t think google will still consider this entry to be at the first page.

The question is, why it was placed on the sandbox? Sudden links? I don’t think so, I build links slowly due to time I have since I have a day job far from SEO field.

I guess I will just see if google will still consider and be lifted out on the popular sandbox. Goodluck to all entries.

We are on the last month of this SEOContest2008 and still not being seen on the first page. Three weeks? Can be done? It is possible. If I will not be on the first page by then, it is impossible! Lol.

We are performing well on MSN but it is not included on the contest only on google.com.

Maybe I will let you guess, what will be my position when the contest ended? Leave your guess as comments!

Well a little progress on the ranking from page 6 now on page 4. SO slowly climbing up on the track so we can expect something on the wild at the last weeks and hopefully on the last hours.

I see this entry not included on the script created by the contest organizer that is maybe because of the “/” trailing slash on the registration. But I don’t care about that script because that is not the determinant on the contest winner.

SO better yet, find a good fish on the house of search engine. Goodluck!

Now my seocontest2008 entry is on the sixth page on google.com. It seems we need to roll out some effort to this entry. At least to be at the first page on the google search engine.

Other filipino entries are already taking up the first page and only this entry remains at the last pages. Lol, how embarrassing. Wel, there are personal reasons or maybe there is still a month so watch again this blog to climb on the search.

Google just drop our ranking to SEOContest2008 from the second page to the 5th page on google using 10 results per page. They again updated their ranking today for the term “seocontest2008″.  We need some stretch now with 1 month remaining on the contest that will end on April Fool’s Day!

Any tips? Link building strategy? Link bait?

The first 5 top ranking are not moving to the top and the rest are keep on shuffling its ranking. We experienced that first page also 2 weeks back and not so sure if we can again have it. Time is ticking!!!

Year 2008 is a leap year and we have 29 days in February. To those who will be celebrating their birthday on this date February 29, another 4 years have to come to celebrate so why not invite me?

Update on the seocontest2008 it seems we see Filipinos now are dominating the first page but not the top place. We have still a month to go to rank it and win that $1000 price? Want a 3 way exchange both related to the contest? Post your comment and we will exchange.

We are approaching the last month for seocontest2008 and so far this blog is at the second page without the parameter of 100 result per page. One of the Filipino is the current #2 now, and hopefully at the last hour he will be at the top of it and once again he will dominate the competition.

I like his design truly an seo is not only on the off side of the site but on the design itself. A design yields a useful backlinks for creativeness and useful implementation of CSS.

Well done benjie! Keep up!
