I just noticed that Eric Blackwell is now #1, and Ardell (RCG) fell off the face of the earth... Hmmm, bottom of page three...she must have gotten caught spamming.
She's still showing as #1 for my data center. With Team Eric as #2. [I'm on Team Eric. Go Team! ] Going to be fun especially as this thing starts wrapping up in the last week or so. Better grab a case of Mountain Dew to make the last minute push.
Yeah, that's where I saw her at for the last couple days, including today, and then it was almost like I watched it happen. Boom. Page 3. Interesting fluctuation, as the RCG domain DOES have the most backlinks out of the top 7 or 8 results I checked today, by far. Perhaps that spammy sig link Blogmaster has did the trick...
Sorry, had to. Although it makes me think twice about entering the contest (I'm not an agent), when you're throwing 20k links Eric's way, and that's just 1 of 10/11 people optimizing. Still, I don't think DP sig links throw a lot of weight around, although this thread might help you. Of course, I just keep adding to the post/page count for it...
It's a combination of many things. It's great to be a part of a team sharing resources from all over and making it happen.
page#3 is No. 45 in greatest real estate agent in the world contest These dp pages are bouncing around everywhere
Yeah, I wonder how much DP links benefit us. I believe that links within content/context are actually the strongest. I have experimented with www.frogengine.net before and outranked many just with that. That one ranks for that seocontest2008 on page 3 now. Seems that there are tons of factors playing a role in what ranks and what doesn't.
The number of results are bouncing around wildly, too. It was about 450k just the other day; now I see 823k. I believe it made a similar jump (and then came back down) several days ago. Just odd.
Our page has been bouncing around quite a bit, then it disappeared and then finally reappeared on the second page. I didn't realize how competitive this was going to be We actually hard to start pointing some solid links at our page to try and get it back in the top 10 Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World!
Thanks to everyone for your support. This is the greatest contest ever. I know it must not be that exciting for non real estate people in the world, but once you are into this, you can learn a lot of new stuff. Keep plugging away everyone and see you at the top! ~ Mike
