Our Busby SEO challenge entry

We have much more time to work on this SEO contest and just started last week.

We are using a recycled SEO contest site for the Busby SEO Challenge it still ranks #1 for one of the old seo contest that it was in many years ago and ranks page 1 for many others old seo contest phrases this should give us some help as it all ready has SEO contest related links but does not content any of the forbidding words. In the last SEO contest we did not have the time necessary to compete this time it will be different as I have time again we are starting late to make it more challenging for us. The French team has a big advantage as they are over 20 members all competing as a team this gives them a lot of power and they have the top 2 spots and won the seocontest208 this way. It is going to be difficut to beat them but I am going to give it my best shot

seocontest2008 entry

I gave the other contestants a one month head start to make this contest more challenging. less then 3 weeks to go in the contest and I am only just getting in the top 100 but in the end I will be the #1 seocontest2008 postion. How will I do it I have a end plan to win a seocontet you need a end plan being one of the first to take the number one postion does you no good you need to be the last one to take the number 1 spot before the contest ends. this is where the end plan works

Google Referrals

Google has new pay per action ads Google referrals

I decided to test it out and found a ad from a site I knew that had good deals for my visitors it was a new ad and had no ratings yet I added the code and at first it did not display the ad. I forgot about for about a hour and then ran a adsense report and noticed I had 1 conversion already from 4 views and 2 click a 50% conversion rate compared to adsence 30 views no clicks today yesterday I had 1 click for adsense for 64 cents the conversion paid $23 maybe Google will notice the high conversion rate my site has and up the rate on the adsense ads I doubt it but they should I have been tempted to remove adsense because of the low pay out. I will review the Google referrals some more and let you know the results next week. Get it a try on your site I think you'll like the results if you pick good ads. Always choose the best deals for your visitors over the highest paying ads and you get higher conversion rates and more cash. Don't have adsense?

looks like I found a bug I can not get it to display a adsense sign up ad above I know they don't convert well but I think that is the best ad for the end of this article I already have other adsense ads on this site and did not want another one here. the preview even showed the adsense ad. The ad type was text and that is not a text ad. Maybe Google knows I am looking at it and already have a adsense account?
let me know if you see the adsense sign up.

Moving up by cleaning up

I have moved back up to the #4 spot for SEO book. How did I do that? Did I get more links? No I removed links! Last year and before Google liked some link networks that I found and I over used them for links but now google is smarter and better at find link relationships early this year google has tightend up the link network filters (links to bad neighborhoods) and you may have suffered If you have clean out the link network links can move your site back up.
To get out of this pentily box remove link networks from your sites and from sites that link to you if you can if you can't have that site remove your link. Don't get any more links from sites that use link networks. You may get away with a few liks form link networked sites but after you get to many your site will get put in to the penilty box and will not get listed I seen one of my sites drop over 700 spots when put in the penitly box clean up restores the site in about a week Yahoo is even more strict about link networks

SEObook.com vs seobook.org.uk IF you check the backlinks of both sites you will see that .com has more then 300 times the links I have but I have the #4 spot no one between me and seobook.com can I take the #1 spot?
