GEANSAI GORM
GEANSAI GORM SEO Contest is causing quite a stirr here in Ireland so I've decided to give it a shot.I always believed that having a clean validating code and good SEO technique ( not that I have any ) helps more in the long run than any CMS plugin so I'll try to stick with my beliefs.
I might be wrong but this is suppose to be for fun so...good luck to all competitors !
"An SEO contest is an activity awarding prizes that challenges search engine optimization(SEO) practitioners to rank themselves among the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN using certain keyword(s). This type of contest is controversial because it often leads to massive amounts of link spamming as participants try to boost the rankings of their pages by any means available. The organizing body of an SEO competition may hold the activity without promotion of a product or service in mind; or they may organize a contest in order to market something on the Internet. Participants can showcase their skills and potentially discover and share new techniques for promoting websites."

For the ones who never saw "The silence of the lambs" the title of this post have no meaning and I'm not going to write this just to make an explanation of it.
The reason in choosing this title,instead of choosing geansai gorm,geansai,gorm or gorm geansai is that we're closing to an end for this SEO competition.What can I say about it,hmm...I don't know about the others Geansai Gorm competitors but for me it was,and still is fun.
Am I happy with the results so far ?
Of course I am or, as I said to somebody in an email asking me about my strategy : as long as ggwinner dot com is listed in the first 3500 results on Google SERPs out of 100.000 is still good for me because I've learned ( and experimented ) a lot of new things.
For the moment I'm on the 4th spot...which is not bad considering that I'm not doing this for a living :)
Is still early to predict but I can bet that the SERPs will change dramatically untill Monday : I might end up on the 3rd-4th page or...on the second spot - who knows ( I doubt it with the second spot because my number of inbound links is still under 20 or 25 which is not even 5 % of what others have )
This could be my second last post here - I definitely have to make one after the end of this Geansai gorm comp - so I would really like to say a big THANK YOU to everybody including to the ones which voted me down on Google : you've done nothing than making me work harder,that's all and I thank you for that !
If I have any regrets ?
Nope...it startes as fun and it'll finish as fun whatever the results.
P.S. Actually I do regret for not being able to make it to the Blogger / Webby Meet-up Dublin Thursday 27th Nov initiated by Jason Roe in the Porter House.
Who knows, maybe next time...
