We arrived the last week of the contest seo instantempo , which is affecting almost all experts in SEO and web marketing Italians.

The race is still dominated by the Polish team, belonging to a black-hat seo forums, they have decided to participate using their entire array of sites to link popularity, which has evidently created a bit 'of instantempo ago to artificially drive their sites or those of their customers. I do not have occurred but would not surprise me to discover sites that sell thousands of links, related to them. Those classic sports which every good SEO expert warning and that strongly discourages customers and friends.

Now we just have to see the latest moves of the participants in the race, which I think are happening right now ... We Advertalis, for our part, we are making some experiment even if the ranking instantempo days seems to be almost frozen, as if someone had put a hand ... someone whose name starts with G ... or not? Who knows, some doubt is coming to me.

Now we will try not to get us through to the last, indeed, why not, to make some positions to finish with a flourish!

It makes me a little 'anger, but I have to admit, the Poles have given everyone a good lesson.

In any case, the important thing is to participate, experiment and learn. And if it happens, would like to win a minor prize.

Obviously, I know just saying because I have no more hope for the victory.

That's right, the ranking dancing more and more and will change every minute, but the most interesting thing is that the first positions are moving, then you can not take anything for granted yet. What am I talking about? But the SEO contest instantempo , organized by ForumGT and will end in exactly one month, December 6 at 12:00, and sees in the race so many Italian experts seo web marketing, web agencies, individuals and teams from novice from abroad, like us for example.

And even now, that at 16:15 on 6 November 2010, in the first position is to be the Facebook page of the Polish team that has dominated the race, overcoming their main domain. An overflow of themselves, then. But as I said before, the important thing is that the SERP is not ferma.Finchè there is life in the SERPs, there is hope!

As already written in our official blog, now even our social accounts have started to be living in areas of low to medium top100, doing good hope for the next day.

Here is a snapshot of the current visibility of our sites, profiles and various social accounts:

7 ° instantempo http://www.instantempoblog.it - main website (fairly stable)

35 ° instantempo http://twitter.com/instantempo123 NEW ENTRY!

63 ° instantempo http://instantempo.alancurtis.it - Support page

Here is the rest of our social accounts:

instantempo http://www.youtube.com/user/instantempo123 - YouTube Account

instantempo http://www.facebook.com/pages/Instantempo/161307853900491 - Facebook page

instantempo http://instantemposem.wordpress.com - Blog on WordPress

Apart from the pleasant surprise of the account Twitter, the rest of the profiles is dropped frighteningly, exiting from the top100 in which was yesterday. Hopefully they too will resume and that is only a momentary recalculation ranking!

Good race at all!

The SEO contest Italian instantempo , organized by forumGT, is now well underway and the ranking is in constant motion, as was easy to predict as the number of participants. Even I, in my small way, I decided to try it even though I was in almost 2 weeks late, that in a contest so are a lot of time! (Ends December 6)

In any event, good or bad I always participated in all SEO contest in late ... even those I won! Actually, in this case there scommento much, but I would at least do some testing and maybe end up with a dignified position, although this time the competition is really fierce; think that currently dominates a team composed of members of a Polish forum! !

However, even my little belated blog has started to show up in the first pages of the charts Google.it, after an input stage not just exciting (first page 15, then 12). But now, as you can see in this article regarding the change of serp instantempo , my blog is down to 4 ° page, in position 40 °. We must wait, and hope to work in the shadows gather another result!

Yesterday, I / we have begun to participate officially, today our first two experiments have begun to appear on Google. Not bad, faster and faster.

The first experiment, our site instantempo blog.it, appeared in position 159 of google.it (search the web), we see what he will do in the coming days.

This blog, however, the post did yesterday is not as it should, indeed. But in the end served only to support the first (and to take informed my visitors).

And now I will use my blog for the third experiment, a single small page dedicated to instantempo , very similar to that with which I won "Pagerank Patatrak" seo contest of the previous forumGT, in 2008. But in two years things have changed in the insanely search engine marketing, we will see some beautiful!

Yes there are. The forum has launched a new Giorgiotave.it seo contest, apart from the last 2 years, Pagerank Patatrak, I saw among the 4 winners (site category elderly, what an ugly name for sites created before the contest! Hehe) .

So, despite being late (started from 11 days), as one of the winners coming out, I could not resist this new challenge, hoping to confirm the title or otherwise doing well, although the most important thing at these events Always experimenting, learning and growing together with all those who participate.

Here is my small contribution to the first race, which this time will not see me alone to face the rest of the world (or Italy): I now have my team behind, the boys (and girls) Advertalis, my new company !

Well, we can only present the first official website, which oddly enough is called instantempo blog: DDD

What can you do, all the more delicious instantempo were now gone, after 11 days of the race I could not expect better, indeed!

Instantempo good seo contest at all!

Hello everyone,
I have not written much lately on the blog, for lack of time rather than of inspiration.

As you can read from my last article, I am participating in the first seo contest organized in Albania, which has now entered its final phase. Fact will end in less than two weeks, May 15.

I must say the truth, so far there are no big surprises were, but the final stages of a race of this type are never to take for granted. Here today, Sunday, May 2, load the three classifications of search engines and find the contest, with a mixture of pleasure and worry, that Google's ranking is unchanged and continues to dance, while Yahoo has lowered my site mushkonja one position, putting my site in front of another race, to boot ... Only Bing remains stable, immovable in its ranking.

Very strange this contest, a reflection perhaps of the great changes underway in the various engines. Even my strategy was "strange", conditioned by various circumstances.

First things first, now I want to explain what I did at the beginning and the statistical data that I obtained, in a more "scientific" as possible. I will not make too many comments, I leave those to you.

I originally thought to participate with multiple sites for the best chance of winning, do not deny it. The rules did not say anything about it, but when he appeared on mudulo officially register online for a box named "site in which we participate" got me thinking. So I contacted the organizer, who told me that it was fairer to participate in one site.

So I did, and I chose the domain mushkonja . biz even if I had recorded another 2, the. and me. ws

But when I started I did not know the limit of a single site, so I enjoyed "throwing" the two domains. Biz and. Me almost simultaneously, but in different ways.

Here's the data I collected at that time, in the hope that they can contribute to your understanding of the drivers. I must say that, personally, these data have made me come many doubts and questions, and also questioned some of my beliefs.

Here's how it was the launch of two websites:

mushkonja.me

1. reported on Digg on 21.02.2010 15:29 hours
2. Reporting on Digg appears in the google 21.02 to 15:43 / 15:44
3. the site appear on google the 21.02 between 18 and 18:30 (indexed actually 2 hours before)
4. appears ONLY looking "mushkonja.me" the 25.02 between 15:00 and 18:00
5. results appear in the normal 26.02 at 9:00
6. to 28.02 is 17 ° -19 ° with "mushkonja" but it seems only indexed the home

mushkonja.biz

1. reported on this blog the hours 22.02.2010 19:17 (the day after. me)
2. the blog appears in google on 22.02 at 19:19
3. 27.02 hours on 23 is displayed with search site: mushkonja.biz
4. 28.02 on 9 o'clock in the morning appears in regular searches on page 4-5 of the results (cache created February 23, 2010 01:57:00)

The. I ws the only published much later, more than half of the contest, as a pure support. Biz

But it is exactly what happened. And here's the surprise: both. Me that. Ws positions are much higher than I expected.

Why?

Well, for several reasons, first of all the almost total lack of links and the lack of updates. The. Ws then is simply a page that refers to. biz ... and yet now occupies the # 3 position on Yahoo.

Finally, here are some other useful data to draw their own conclusions about the case, the current state of the 3 sites and their positions on the 3 search engines:

Mushkonja.biz

• PR 2
• page. Indexed in Google: 56
• Google links: 2
• page. indexed in Yahoo: 57
• links in Yahoo: 546

Mushkonja.me

• PR 2
• page. indexed by Google: 9
• links on Google: 1
• page. indexed in Yahoo: 9
• links in Yahoo: 8

Mushkonja.ws

• PR n / a
• page. Indexed in Google: 1
• Google links: 0
• page. indexed in Yahoo: 1
• links in Yahoo: 4

And here are the positions currently occupied by these 3 sites:

Google.com
. Me -> 3 °
. Biz -> 5 °
. Ws -> nc

Yahoo.com
. Me -> 1 ° (and 2 °)
. Ws -> 3 °
. Biz -> 4 °

Bing.com
. Biz -> 1,
. Me -> 2 °
. Ws -> nc

That's all for now, we'll see how this ends ... good finals to all participants!

We, also in Albania has started the first National SEO Contest!

How Advertalis, my young Albanian society of internet marketing seo , and as now living in Tirana, I could not refrain from participating.

The keywords chosen by the organizers of the site was Seo.al " mushkonja "in Italian mosquito questionable choice from my point of view (and not only I think) and is also a curious coincidence.

But we refer to the comments and considerations to another time, having also heard the organizers to clarify some doubts.

For now I will not disclose details of the techniques that I plan to implement in any case giving birth a little 'disadvantaged since the contest began Feb. 15. But no matter, will last until May 15, 2010 and is still everything to play for.

Why this is, a good game that I hope positively involving all participants and do learn new things all the intricacies of search engines and online visibility!

Good mushkonja at all!
