v7ndotcom elursrebmem SEO Contest

This is an interesting theory, I always thought the sandbox would kick in straight away or not at all.
Also I had thought it was dependant on how competitive the keywords were - it will be interesting because last weekend the keywords were not competitive at all but now they are so the sandbox may be applied soon.

 

Yes, I have seen it at least 4 times with new sites that I launched.

Yes, true. Will be interesting to see what happens.

 

www.gapbridge.com went from nowhere to page 5

 

Alek, I got this if you'd like it - http://v7ndotcom-elursrebmem.newsvine.com/

I can send you login info to it or whatever....

I've thrown a few links up to the actual charity page too.

 

When starting this contest I wasn't really thinking about how much traffic the sites would get but I am seeing a fair amount for a brand new site. Total hits so far are at 600 - the most popular pages are:

1 /serpsmap.php3, 227 hits, 60.10 hits per day
2 /index.php3 202 hits, 53.48 hits per day
3 /faqs.php3 25 hits, 6.62 hits per day
4 /thecontest.php3 23 hits, 6.09 hits per day

What sort of traffic is anybody else getting? I am on page 3 so I imagine the top sites get loads more than me.

 

VE for Celiac results section has number of hits/day on the main contest page - was 426 on the 15th, 1,512 on the 16th, 2,154 on the 17, 1,206 on the 18th, and 272 so far today.

So certainly not a huge traffic generator, but a few people are checking it out. Should I add unique IP's to that table?

 

v7ndotcom elursrebmem stats

 

Hmm, looks like I need to get to the top 10 if I want traffic. Only 6 people found my site from a keyword search lol.

Anyway its good to see the results are coming from all around the world, my search results map is showing 7 sites from the US, 2 from Europe and 1 from Australia in the current top 10.

Interestingly the number 1 site is the furthest from google at 12730km away in Australia.

 

I added unique IP's and SER (Search Engine Requests - i.e. inbounds for the VE term) to that table.

 

Let me guess...a Press Release!!!!!!

 

How would you say it - Yahooooo! - see it there!

 

hmmm . I'm seeing some majors picking up the newsrelease Alek - Way to go!!

OK I wasn't even trying, but can someone confirm I'm #1 on Yahoo??

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=v7ndotcom elursrebmem&ei=UTF-8

 

yuppers - i can see you there !

 

Yahoo is not impressive - my blog is at 48 and the site is nowhere to be seen.

 

cripes... I was trying NOT to get distracted and enter this contest.. I didn't buy a domain, I didn't do anything but search and replace some text.... Now I might have to freakin do it

 

hahahaha - you're in rainy vancouver? Keep driving east ... you'll bump into calgary ...

 

Well done booting my site outa the #1 spot in Yahoo! ;-)

 

It's dry today and I have my window open. Bet you can't say that
