http://www.ggwinner.com ggwinner en 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 ? http://www.ggwinner.com/GEANSAI_GORM_SEARCH_CLOSE_TO_END.html Picked up tonight from the net and I found them funny ( I have to make a full page one day when I'll have more time ) http://www.ggwinner.com/GEANSAI_GORM_FUNNY_BITES.html 13 days with no updates might be a long time for some but I can tell you that I (should) thank Hosting365 for this time off. At the beginning I was really pissed about but today I saw the light : 1. - I had more time for myself 2. - I had more time for myself 3. - I had more time for myself There's months since I wanted to watch the full serie of (Sir) Norman Wisdom's old movies sent to me by a dear friend and I can tell you that I had the time of my life doing just that ( Am I getting old ?? ). There's years since I'm craving for something I couldn't find in shops anymore but I was lucky enough the other day to find ( by chance ) in a SUPERVALU on Talbot st.: VAT 69 Now mix this two things ( Norman and the VAT ) and you'll (probably) understand why I have nothing to say but THANK YOU to HOSTING365 for having such crap services and giving me the oportunity to have some time for myself. THIS is all I saw in the last week whenever I tried to log into my cp lately ( I'm talking about night time when I usually do my online things ) I know they greatly advertise their services as used by the big names like Daft,Meteor,Namesco etc but hey...what about the small guys like me? You give me no chance but to increase the VAT ( now I know where to find ) consumtion but what about my liver? Would you pick up my medical bills ? To not ask you about the GEANSAI SEO contest anymore... Anyway I think I've changed my mind about winning this ( not that I have a chance anymore) but today I had a lovely talk ( mail) with Cormac an I can say that I like his thinking : " 100% as gaeilge and to reel in backlinks by being the most unique and authentic site in the competition " Well that sound like hard work and I like ( and envy ) that so thumbs up for GEANSAI GORM My Grandma used to ask me often : " Working hard or hardly working ? " and I just used to mumble something to her but now I have the right answer : " Comparing to other people - I hardly work Grandma !" Regards, ggwinner http://www.ggwinner.com/GEANSAI_VAT_INCREASE.html Being busy at work ( an extreme sport sometimes I practice ) didn't help me at all with my GEANSAI GORM on Google SERPs.No time to update, no time to link building, no time for nothing...but I've noticed that others are not so lazy as I am. There are a lot of new entrants this week in this funny game and some are so serious about this that they're trying all the known ( or less known ) SEO techniques that one can imagine to secure the first spot. The battle will become more and more fiery now that the gloves are off and the time get shorter in this GEANSAI GORM SEO Challenge and will be interesting to see who'll go deep down the Black Hat way or not. As I said before I'll try to go forward without trying any of this ( holding on my gorm hat SEO ) and for the moment I'm quite happy that I got back on Google SERPs after nearly a week . Is still plenty of time ( IMHO ) and who knows, maybe in the last week I'll take the white rabbit in the blue jumper out of the black hat. ABRAKEDABRA ! :) http://www.ggwinner.com/GEANSAI_GORM_CONTEST_UPDATES.html I can say that the last 5-6 days were a bit of a mess in my head and God I'm happy they're gone.I had no ideea that sometimes alcohol can fekk you over but I can tell you this...I'll never celebrate Halloween so long again. I'm glad now that I've been sober since Wednesday night : I've never done so many ( good ) things in 48 hours all my life and I hope to keep it like this ( doing things not just drinking ) Well, that's it for tonight, very short because as every good boy now is time to sleep like a baby. P.S. More about the Geansai Gorm, GGwinner.com and Fekker tomorrow. Nite, nite ! http://www.ggwinner.com/BAD_BOY_GONE_GOOD_OR_WHY_ONE_SHOULD_NOT_DRINK.html 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 grandson's a good man but he's drinking to much ice water in the morning ..." http://www.ggwinner.com/HALLOWEEN_HANGOVER_AND_THE_BUGS_ON_MY_GEANSAI_GORM.html I'm pleased to see that another GEANSAI GORM WATCH website is around ( apart from mine ) so everybody please welcome http://geansaigorm.blogsome.com ( a blog this time ) into the world ! Not so many noticeable changes in rankings from my last night rant but I cannot help but mention about the new entry I see this morning. I'm pretty sure that most of you know Sean from smemon.com and if you don't that's your loss.He's a young entrepreneur who flips websites with the speed I change my socks ( maybe faster if I have a few pints on me ) and I'm sure you'll hear more about him in the years to come .So here's to you Sean, I'll even put an H1 link to your GEANSAI GORM project ( it might not help because of my shitty ranking - for now - ) but...here it is on one of my pages: ABOUT GEANSAI GORM Anyway, back on GEANSAI GORM SEO contest the biggest change so far would be the loss of the first spot ( second,actually ) by mybluejumper.com. Taskdrop.com of James Larkin went up last night and who knows - might stay there for a few good hours .Is still a month to go and I can bet that we will see plenty of shifting in the SERPs.What I cannot bet yet is who'll be the winner on this Geansai Gorm best Irish SEO contest and that's because ( again ) my Grandma's words : " Betting early on the favorite dog on tracks might bring you a surprise ! A bad one..." http://www.ggwinner.com/GEANSAI_GORM_WATCH_IS_HERE_AND_SEAN_FROM_SMEMON_MAKES_HIS_ENTRY.html Mad and funny day today on the GEANSAI GORM contest but I can honestly say...I like it ! My question is : Who's gonna be the winner, the one who first rank in Google for the GEANSAI GORM term or the first ranking NEW DOMAIN NAME ( 3rd -4th spot ? )?If is going to be the first one then I can say...it will be no winner for the breach of T & C of the contest ( I'm sure is not going to be a new domain on the first spot, it will probably be an old blog or forum where people register and sign as GEANSAI GORM linking to the GEANSAI GORM sites they've made) .We'll live and see...For the moment mybluejumper.com went second after Tom Doyle's blog and greybandit.com came up close ranking second ( 3rd if you consider Tom's blog ).A new comer made on Google apps( sites.google.com/site/geansaigormproject ) came out of nowhere straight to third place ( 4th actually ).What I'm surprised to see is that bluejumper.net ( the only site that actually follow all the real SEO rules - validates on w3.org and do not use any CMS plugins to get high rankings etc ) is out of sight. Hmmm....that makes me think...should I go cutting corners ?Not just yet...And to bring again my Granma's words : " You never get lost on a straight road so do not cut corners unless you're in a rush or when the Gardai's chasing you..."Well Grandma, I still have a month so...no rush here! http://www.ggwinner.com/GEANSAI_GORM_SEARCH_RESULTS_GONE_MAD.html I can say that I'm very pleased with the response so far on Damien Mulley's competition to find "The Best SEO person in Ireland". I can bet that in the next month we'll see a lot of tricks ( and SEO treats ) from Irelands best SEOs to get the higher ranking in Google.ie for the term GEANSAI GORM ( Geansai Gorm Translation ). Out of the six runners-up for now I can see WordPress used, Joomla , and ( I think ) Drupal once ( I'm not too sure about the last one ). If anybody would ask me I'd say that the safest way to get high rankings fast would be to use Wordpress BUT that's nothing to do with real SEO so I can say that, for the moment I like the fair game done by BlueJumper.net and MyBlueJumper.com (ranking first for the moment ). However will be I'm sure that the best one will win and if not, at least they gave it a shot or as my Granny would say : " If there would be only winners in life I'd be happy to be the last of them !".Well Grandma' I'm sure that in this contest everybody will be a winner by learning something so...let me be the last of them ! http://www.ggwinner.com/HEAT_ON_GEANSAI_GORM.html
