Champion Cheap : globalwarming awareness2007

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 ;)

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 !

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.

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 !

Webpronews is asking if the changes on the google algorithm to reduce/eliminate the googlebomb effect will affect the seo contests like globalwarming awareness2007. Well obviously not, because a seo contest page always contain the keywords. In my opinion even if there is a lot of inbound links with optimized anchor we can not speak about a googlebomb, simply because the keywords are on the page and the goal of the owner is to rank on thoses keywords like globalwarming awareness2007.

The begining of a seo seontest is always very interresting. It is all the more true for globalwarming awareness2007 with such a size and many competitors.

My first observation concern what we call in French the freshness bonus. It means that Google is helping the new websites by letting them rank well for a short period. Then when this period is ended they will rank at a normal or legitimate position. With the rules of the globalwarming awareness2007 contest (a domain name registred after the 15 of january) all websites are experiencing the freshness bonus on Google. That is why there is so much refresh on the top of the Google result. A good strategy may be to wait the end of the contest and launch a brand new website ? Wrong because at this time the keywords and the websites about will be more powerful and the freshness bonus i think will not be enough to get the top positions.

At the time i am writing this a dozen of Google datacenters are showing results for the globalwarming awareness2007 query. So we can yet say that google is much faster than for the v7ndotcom elursrebmem where all competitors had some indexing problems. I will not comment the results now because it is really too early to find informations from them. No doubt there is going to be huge changes since the 1st may for the end of the globalwarming awareness2007 contest.
