    Looks like I am on first page, I think number 5 for directories.
    http://ask-dir.com/detail/link-516.html
    Strangely new directories with less than 1 year have outranked more established directories.
    Probably is a good idea to publish a list of the 10 first.
    Cheers

    I also noticed the same. But as time goes on the newer sites will start to dip. I have seen this before and it is called a fresh bot listing, which means that google will display the newest sites for that keyword which are in fact strong sites, but in order to keep the ranking those sites need to keep buidling links to show that they are truly worthly to hold their place.

    But I have never seen this many sites that were new show up for a fresh bot listing. Maybe it is because this keyword is fairly new as well so I guess all is fair game.

    Mike I have just been looking at the prize list you have done a great job at getting so many sponsors together, well done :)

    What about considering about making sure the winners are established directories that have been online for say a set minimum period of time

    I am asking this request based on transparency and fairness

    This contest looks like being a resounding success which I am sure will run again for the 2nd time at the end of 2007

    Directory Owners who have not entered the contest already please enter now :)

    Sufi Directory is on the first page because we putted the “directorycontest.com” on the page title ;) I think homepages don’t count so the ranking goes.

    You know, I get what you guys are saying here, but I also believe there are many factors playing a roll which we don't fully understand. How much Google likes a directory doesn't necessarily all depend on the age. If you have a brandnew directory and get incoming links from sources Google likes, then chances are Google will fall in love with it sooner than with others. We also have a couple of months left in which there might be some new developments coming. Of course the term directorycontest.com is not yet sandboxable, but if Google starts recognizing it as a high sought after term in time, the results may wind up shifting completely :)
