Google dancing with Ambatchdotcom Seocontest

A lot of Google dancing is going on! The first two positions have switched a couple of times in the last few days, but the “original first position” is back on top. Our Ambatchdotcom Seocontest entry has dropped to the 5th position, so it’s keeping harder and harder to get the all mighty first position in the SEO World Championship, but we’ll keep trying.

We’re both trying to boost this blog to the top of the contest, and we both know it’s just a matter of time… At least… We hope it is! :-D

The most important thing is that we both have fun in participating the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest, because we both like SEO and this is the ultimate way to test where we stand in comparison with other SEO-people. Up until know, we’re both satisfied with the results, so no complaints from us!

Placed 4th in the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest

Yesterday our Ambatchdotcom Seocontest weblog was placed 6th in Google rankings. When I just had a closer look at Google, I saw that we’re ranked 4th now!

That’s two steps closer to the number one ranking of the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest, two steps closer of winning the World SEO Championship! I think we can be in the top 3 within one week, before the end of August. We have added some backlinks and optimized everything something more, and, as you can see, it’s already working… Otherwise we would still be placed 6th in the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest.

Ambatchdotcom Seocontest: Two months left

The Ambatchdotcom Seocontest started at 14 July 06, and ends at 20 Oct 06, which means that there're only two months left in the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest!

However the contest started at 14 July, we started with our Ambatchdotcom Seocontest entry at August 03 2006, almost 3 weeks ago. In these weeks we boosted this Ambatchdotcom Seocontest weblog from zero into the top 10, placed 6th to be exact!

So, in the next two months we’ll have to make sure that we beat the top-5 entry’s and stay at the top for the rest of the contest. We think it’s very doable to rank first within one month with this Ambatchdotcom Seocontest… But to keep this first position till the end of the contest will be a greater challenge.

Ambatchdotcom Seocontest results over 1,000,000

The popularity of Ambatchdotcom Seocontest is still increasing. Google shows now over 1,000,000 results for Ambatchdotcom Seocontest. The good news is that we are still in top 10. I have just got back from my well deserved holiday and ready to fight through the rankings :)
I believe that we can manage top 3 for Ambatchdotcom Seocontest in maybe 2 weeks. Still have some link resources and of course my secret weapon which i will use only in times of great need.

We’re placed 5th in the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest!

The past week we were both at vacation – and Saku still is – so there wasn’t any posting here. The moment I was back I checked the Google results for the “Ambatchdotcom Seocontest” keyword and hit Search, and what did I see??? We’re placed fifth in this Ambatchdotcom Seocontest!!

5th of 750,000 Google results for the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest keyword without many blog-updates and our late start, I think we can be quite satisfied with these first results. Right now, we have to make sure that we will defeat the rest and get a top 3 ranking and win the Ambatchdotcom award, but it’ll be hard.

Our strategy will be a mix of different SEO techniques that’ll – hopefully – lead this Ambatchdotcom Seocontest to the first position of Google rankings!

Top 10 ranking for Ambatchdotcom Seocontest

Yesterday someone told me that he was placed in the top 10 for the keyword Ambatchdotcom Seocontest. I took a closer look at Google and I didn’t see him in the top 100!

The problem was, at the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest Website the following link is placed:

Check Google

The problem with this link is that it keeps track of the location of the searcher and uses this in the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest rankings. In this case, this person used a domain from the Netherlands, and they don’t rank good in the international search, but when you’re searching from the Netherlands at google.com it looks like you’re ranked high… Very misleading!

This is the right way to see what your rankings are for the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest.

From now on, it will be a radio silence for about two weeks… I’m looking forward to see this blog in the top 10 when I’m searching for Ambatchdotcom Seocontest !

Catching up in this contest

Just like Dawid mentioned, we gave the others about two weeks advance on us because we had a late start in this contest, and we’re both on vacation for the next two weeks… That makes the delay – technically – a month, and we know it’s going to be tough to win the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest in 2 months instead of 3!

If we win, it would be a great honor to win the World SEO Championship together. I’m really looking forward to 20 October, the final day when the winner contest will be decided.

Some people say it’s not just hard to start this late, it’s just impossible! The competition in a SEO contest like this would be too much for us, but we believe it’s very possible to catch up with the rest and place first in this Ambatchdotcom Seocontest.

Ambatchdotcom Seocontest - saku's little contribution

We just have started in Ambatchdotcom Seocontest so it gives the others something linke 2 weeks advance on us. I'm not worry, i see this like a bigger challange to me and Wilco. I'm pretty sure that we have pretty good chances to win this contest and end on the first spot in google for Ambatchdotcom Seocontest. For now on this will be my only post in about two weeks because i'm going on a well deserved vacation. I hope the when i come back and type: Ambatchdotcom Seocontest in google, our website will place in top 10. We'll see but i'm quite sure it will.

Joining the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest

I was surfing the web when my eye crossed a forum topic about a seocontest... I couldn't resist, so I opened and read it. At the moment I read it, I knew one thing for certain: I'm going to participate with the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest and I'm going to win!

A friend of mine, who is actually a bigger SEO-guru then I am, thought exactly the same about this Ambatchdotcom Seocontest, so why not bundle our SEO-knowledge and win this 4 grand?

One thing we have to keep in mind with a Seo contest like this, Ambatchdotcom Seocontest, is that we aren't the only SEO guru’s alive who’re planning to win 4.000 USD... But the only thing we need to do is to be better than the rest of the SEO guru's and this Ambatchdotcom Seocontest is in the pocket!

However, this is my first time joining a seocontest so I don't have a clue how good I am in comparision with other SEOers, but it’s definitely worth a try! I think we both have the right motivation, have good knowledge about SEO and some good backlinks, so I definitely believe it's possible to rank high and win the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest.

All right then.. First some research before we’re going to start with this Ambatchdotcom World SEO Championship. I searched for “Ambatchdotcom Seocontest” and what did I see in Google?

Results 1 - 10 of about 344,000 for ambatchdotcom seocontest. (0.26 seconds)

Whoah! It looks like we are not the only one participating this seocontest… Which makes it even more fun, with a lot of competitors we can really test how good (or bad) we are with SEO.

Well, I’m going to quit this post.. We’ll keep you posted!
