No major changes for our Sulumits Retsambew SEO contest. First few contestants are still going strong. New guy is on the bottom of the first page – Ardhindie. Google is showing 34000 results now. With this tempo we will probably pass million results before the end of the contest, but I doubt that will happened. I am thinking to add few banner positions and Adsense and try to monetize this site
. Probably I would get back those few bucks invested in domain. I don’t work anymore so actively on this SEO contest, so I am worrying that soon someone will pass me. Last 3 days I worked less then half an hour daily, but in that half an hour I am trying to be efficient most I can.
We are still holding the number one at Google, but it is interesting to see what other engines says. On Yahoo we are at number 8. Watching Yahoo first few results you can notice irrelevancy for Sulumits Retsambew contest. Some of them are almost empty, and some of them are on old domains dedicated to something completely else…
Watching msn.com results we see even more inconsistency. Our site is not on any of the first 10 serps… First page is filled with old blogs that just mention Sulumits Retsambew on their pages. My Opera blog is on second page and it almost don’t have any connection to Sulumits Retsambew contest except that I mention my .org entry.
Chinese Baidu is similar, with only 2 pages of indexed results. Russian search engine Yandex gave us surprisingly good results, almost similar to that from Google. First page is highly relevant with major contestants on first three pages. We are at number 2 there. Good work Yandex… Cuil (these days called as new wonder) does not have single one result indexed. It looks his owners are ex Google employees with the reason. And for the end Ask.com. We are there on the first place and their results are incredibly similar to Google. However I tried few other terms and they are defiantly not the same. Ask.Com pulls back results that are more relevant then Yahoo and MSN results. Very strange that they are not little bit more popular.
