Champion Cheap : globalwarming awareness2007

Four days to go, now we can say that things are done in the globalwarming awareness2007 contest. On the official forum we are currently seeing some pathetic threads about who is spamming forums or buying links. One thing to remember : it is not a good idea to add rules to a seo contest. I would even say this contest globalwarming awareness2007 has been boring due to this rules. I hope that the staff will remember this for next year competitors.

Nice move : i am currently #37 on Yahoo for a globalwarming awareness2007 query even if i have lost a few positions on Google. Only height days to go now and there is still time for a few surprises i guess. The score card is very unstable at this time, particullary on Yahoo and MSN/Live search. I now do not hope anymore a gesture from MSN. But i still believe i can reach the first page on Yahoo maybe i will miss some time for this.

I am starting to share my observations in the globalwarming awareness2007 seo contest. In this first post i want to deal with outbound links weight. Some people are used to say on seo websites and forums that they do not link to external websites. That is quite illogical they are creating a dead-end for the search engines bots and also for visitors which is absolutely not the spirit of the web. I think there have been many improvements since Gray Wolf released his study case on that topic. As far as i am concerned i think outbound links can be a bonus for the ranking of a website but you will have to be very careful with who you are linking to. It seems quite obvious that the search engines expect webmasters to be responsible of the external links they are creating. In the original pagerank algorithm each link is considered as a vote for the page where it leads. I think it is more and more important to consider the hub score in the seo strategy of a website. If you want to find more informations about the outbound links weight and how it can be benefit for your ranking you should search about co-citation and read this excellent post of Jim Boykin.

To finish if you want to add a link to an authority website i advice you to link to this globalwarming awareness2007 entry ;)

It is moving very slowly but it is moving. I can currently see my globalwarming awareness2007 entry at the #50 position on Yahoo. So i have improved my ranking gaining almost 30 places since my last post about yahoo. I will keep doing some specifics optimizations for Yahoo but for Live search i think i am definitely lost that is why i do not have much to say about this search engine.

I just came back from holidays. I noticed that some competitors in the globalwarming awareness2007 contest were not on holidays because my position has dropped to page 2 on google dot com. About three weeks remaining to try to improve this and to finish at leat on the first page. It is always difficult in seo contest to keep the pressure and the link juice coming especially in the middle or at the very end of the contest. I would say that imho seo contests are just boring in fact but maybe that is because i am always loosing at the end ;)

Good news for my entry in the globalwarming awareness2007 contest. Yahoo has decided to give a chance to my page. I entered the top 100 at the 79° position. It is a good beginning i was starting to think that it will never happen. I still need to move up if i want to be in the top 3 on the overall scorecard. I will do some more yahooptimisations.

Nothing to do with globalwarming awareness2007, April the second, it is time to make a point on april fools in the seo world. And we really can say that this year has been a great millesime. Here is a screenshot of Matt Cutts weblog

The Dark SEO team is famous in the SEO field for having proved that the bacon polenta was not good for health and also for a 302 redirect thing. They replied to Matt Cutts just a few hours after he made the joke. Here is what we can currently see on their website.

Very funny guys, can not wait until next year !

This post is particullary dedicated to Livebot. In fact at this time it is my most regular reader. But i am still nowhere on this particular search engine for a globalwarming awareness2007 query. As this contest takes place on GYM i must try some seo experiments especially for Live and Yahoo. My globalwarming awareness2007 will be so the perfect occasion to to run some tests on this two search engines. I am quite sure that there will be huge movments in the score card until the end of the globalwarming awareness2007 contest. I hope it will be in favor of my entry.

Nearly on month left in the globalwarming awareness2007. The interresting part of the contest is just beginning : prepare your redirection tricks and drop your last inbound links we are watching you. Just kidding we do not care about but be sure that some people do : the seo contests are a good way to learn seo for the competitors but also for the observers. Anyway as this contest is only white hat powered you / they will not learn much interresting things about search engine optimization.

I just noticed that Google was showing images for a globalwarming awareness2007 query. Here is a screenshot we can recognize some of them like the alek's one or the black flag.

So it just took 2 months and a half after Live Search for Google to crawl and provides images about globalwarming awareness2007.

We have seen in a previous post that the world was taking conscious about globalwarming problems. Unfortunately this awareness2007 do not yet mean a raise of funds to fight against the reasons of the evil. Maybe we can expect this to come soon. What we can currently read about this, like this article about the canada's situation, is not very encouraging. There is obviously a big problem of political willness which is also related to some business such as oil industry, chimical companies. Are we ready to think differently than the money makink spirit ?

Reuters revelead that the interest of the American surfers for the globalwarming knew an awareness2007 in the mid-February and the number of research on the subject increased by 173% compared to last year. Do you think this is related to the seo contest globalwarming awareness2007 ?

A far as i am concerned i do not think so. Globalwarming is just getting awareness because it is high time to take care about it. It is a good thing for us and our children but nothing is won yet : 13% of Americans have never heard of globalwarming even though their country is the world's top source of greenhouse gases...

The globalwarming awareness2007 organizer's website is unreachable at the moment.

This is not the first time it is happening. We are currently seeing a parking page from the eastpoint company as you can see on the screenshot. The forum is still working but the leaderboard as the rules and other pages of the official globalwarming awareness2007 website can not be found.

What can be the reason of this cut down ? Do you think it is a hack, a dns problem or something else ? I do not know maybe they have gone in the caribbean islands with the C2 !

Philipp Lenssen revealed yesterday that there was a bug with the new google links tool. In fact it was possible to see the inbound links from another website by changing the website address in the url of the tool. I tried to see it but the ability to see even his own links was removed by google the time to fix the bug. The tool is now back but the tip for seeing other websites backlinks is not working anymore. It would have been great to make observations during the globalwarming awareness2007 competition !

Victory, my globalwarming awareness2007 website has finally been indexed by Live just 15 days after Google.
