Sulumits Retsambew

Nothing new in the Sulumits Retsambew SEO contest! We are still holding the first place. Sunita is all over the net and she overtaken my entry with backlinks maybe 4 days ago. First page is not changed almost at all. However, 3rd position 2sulumitsretsambew.wordpress.com is banned for violating TOS of the wordpress few days ago. But anyway it is still staying on 3rd page. My suggestion from now on is stay away from wordpress free blog service. Use blogger or something else. Slideshare entry is still located very high, currently on 4th place. My Evil Science blogpost about Sulumits Retsambew http://www.evilscience.org/sulumits-retsambew-seo-contest/ jumped unexpectedly on second page 5th results.

Google indexed 73000 pages for the term Sulumits Retsambew, so it looks that contestants are still on fire and they constantly build links. I almost stopped working on this entry, just building 5-10 backlinks daily. On Sunday I will dedicate 3 to 4 hours to this project if I don’t lose my position until then. I am still not on Article Submission strategy, and that is my first priority for my first free time.
I realized also that free directory submission is now under big Question, since many free directories with good PR are overwhelmed with submissions. When checked few of my submission I found out only that my links are on queue of few thousands links. They probably will be accepted next year not next month. (more…)

Day 7 on Sulumits Retsambew and nothing seriously changed. We are still holding the first place. My favorite „enemy webmaster“, Sunita (ChillingBreeze) from India is still on the second place. We had a great conversation, and I  realized that I am facing serious opponent with, a lot of knowledge and will. I adopted strategy changes because of her . She has less backlinks then me, but her entry have a bunch of strong links from article directories.
Afzalkhan loosed position because of wordpress hosted guy. Quite strange situation, since I don’t see any backlinks for 2sulumitsretsambew and the guy is almost without content.
Few new web 2.0 pages appeared on the first page, but I predict that they will not have breath for longer treks: D

Google now show there are 3800 pages for Sulumits Retsambew term and 7250 for sulumitsretsambew. Most of them are links that support contestant entries, and I think there is no more then 100 contestants in this moment.

Around Google SERP 8 and bellow I noticed few interesting new contestants.

My strategy change in Sulumits Retsambew race is not big.
I just decided that I will enter with all my links I can get as soon as possible, since I am sure that Google add value to the age of the backlinks. However that can be double sided knife. It is very easy, that with too much links getting daily Google might consider this as a spam. This is also questionable, since on that way your opponents would ruin your business to much easily.
I got question on email what are healthy links, which I will cover in special post.
