seocontest2008 experiments in amongst seocontest2008

seocontest2008

This is still not an official entry into the seocontest2008 just a quick note about it.

seocontest2008

To be honest we have too much work on to enter seocontest2008, and if we did have spare time or resources would prefer to put it into our own, or our client's sites' long term development anyway.

However this kind of thing is often interesting to experiment with, so with the limited time available to us we are going to drop just one single post about seocontest2008 here, try a few theories out on it, and then leave it be. No prolonged linkbuilding campaigns etc, a maximum of 3 hours work between now and 01 April when seocontest2008 will end.

I would expect it to drop down into the several hundred as a lot of SEOs will spend a lot of time on seocontest2008 for sure, as they do in every seo contest, in 2008 and every other year.

As we are not actually entering, but rather experimenting as to how far you can push the supposed limits against the fierce seocontest2008 competition within the confines of the SEO contest we do not expect really to get much higher than halfway out of the 300 competitors.

Ok that's it. that much work would have cost about £50, lets see how it does.

SEO Ibiza, over and out.

edit. ..well, not quite.. we saw some strange behaviour from Google last week and can only assume we were either pushing a little too hard with the onpage spam factor in seocontest2008, or Google had glitches. Our seocontest2008 page was steadily rising until it got to #12 and then suddenly got de-indexed for nearly a week. We even started re-assigning a few of the links pointed at it, and then 2 days ago it re-appeared at about #120. ..today, with no work done on it for nearly a week, it's hovering around the #12-#14 mark again.
Odd. seocontest2008, it would seem is not quite over and out ;)

latest edit 20.02.2008

We said that if we had the time available for this we would rather promote our own sites with the effort required, well we think we may have figured out a high tech way to do both. We have added no more links to our post from anywhere external on the internet, but unstead are routing new linkpower into and through our site, at the seocontest2008 post.

This way, when the competition is over, our main site will have gained the most out of the deal, and as we power up the main site more, various areas we also have routed new linkpower to, are also climbing their SERPS. We think it is fairly likely that this works, because we are holding fairly steadily against the rising competition who are obviously all spamming their links everywhere all over the internet in the meantime.

we also have some more hefty linkpower due online shortly which should be good enough to push our seocontest2008 entry up to the 1st page. ..we shall see :)

If we finish well we will explain how we did it and a lot will have to eat their words. We'll leave it at that for the moment

seocontest2008 update. SEOibiza have spent as much time as they are going to on seocontest2008
now. We have inserted a couple of forum links, one forum post, and pointed a few links from a few of our external sites to the post.

As discussed we are not trying to win, we just don't have the time.

But we do have some suspicions that some things may work better than everyones says they do, and as we have nothing to risk, are trying that out more than anything else.

We may tinker slightly with the post over the time, but that is basically as much as we can spare the time for. It would be funny to rank reasonably highly, with little effort, due to using techniques everyone says wont work :) we will see.

Good luck to the rest of you all, may the most obsessed SEO with the most spare time win :)

Results..

great effort from Sphere to nudge ahead from the mighty Benji and win in the dying stages.

we finished #35 (unofficial) in Google.com, #25 in Yahoo & #45 on Windows Live.

we're happy with that being as the majority of the link power we focused at this blog was from our own PR3 (and less) site seoibiza.com

We set up a rolling system of stronger and stronger sitewide links at the post, staying ahead of Google's caching so we always had more coming live on a trickle feed basis. Other than that we used only a handful of external links until a week or so ago, and not much really changed after that anyway.

overall we're pretty happy with top 40 out of 640k pages when we werent going all out at it anyway.

in that time we also took #1s for

SEO Domination
Superior SEO
Superior Small Business

and a whole lot more incidental variants on the side.

full list here


seocontest2008 over, and finally out.

respect.
