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."

HALLOWEEN HANGOVER AND THE BUGS ON MY GEANSAI GORM
I know, I know ...I started this as a Geansai Gorm watch but I have to handed over to geansaigorm.blogsome.com, they're always gonna do a better job than me on this because, after all I'm only human. So human indeed that I'm still hangover after the Halloween night which, between us, wasn't bad at all.
I didn't wear any blue, red or grey jumper but I can honestly say that I missed the Geansai Gorm contest so much that at around five-ish in the morning I decided to work on ggwinner - BAAAD mistake. Messing around with my robots.txt file made me fall asleep before fixing anything so yesterday I had the lovely surprise to discover that I'm out of the game :) .
After 2 days being steady on the twenty something place in the SERPs now I was nowhere to be found and I couldn't believe it...so I tried again: Google.ie - search for geansai gorm and...nothing.Rien.Niente.Nada.
I pretty much didn't remember what I've done the night before but I wanted to find out when another surprise ...didn't surprise me : I couldn't log in the ggwinner's webhost cpanel. I've heard a lot of bad things about this host ( not my usual) and about the customer service they ( don't ) have so I've decided to go back to sleep - one of the brightest ideas I had in the last few days. Thanks God I'm all awake now, all's fixed, I'm back in the search results and my Grandma's words are ringing in my head: "My nephew's a good man but he's drinking to much ice water in the morning ..."
