search results and contest update

"The four required words" SEo contest is set to run from February 15th to May 15th 2006, so four months should be enough time to get "the four required words" blog indexed by the major search engines. Currently the main results are showing mainly forums explaining the contest are showing up in the search engines. This blog has been the first competitor mentioned on The Million Dollar Screen Shot contest page.

Although "the four required words" blog is not currently listed in any of the search results we are still able to be found, which is a start, and i am taking a guess that we will be in the search results withing the next week or two.

What I'm going to do to try and win.

First off i can almost guarantee some will try and slam this site and do what they can to get it taken out of the search results when it does show up. I know and am already for this to happen so Im just goint to explain exactly what im doing and it really doesnt matter what happens, if something were to happen, i have a little back up plan set in place if anything starts to go sour by someone elses doing.

What i did so far to this site was just write a few blogs and trying to establish links, thats the jist of it, not to complicated and anyone can really do the same thing im doing, but i hope "the four required words" seo contest stays fair, and what i mean by that is i am not going to intentionally do anything to any other contestant and i hope they would have the same respect for me. But im sure there will be 1 jealous little Napoleon that just feels the need to be a prick. So to you my friend i say, haha.

So ive decided to make this sharade a little more interesting, and this is what i just got the idea to do. I think that when the pixel ads fill up, if anyone is intrested in selling their space they can do so. If you are intrested in selling your space, you can ONLY do so when the entire grid is filled. If you are intrested in putting your space up for sale, you can simply link your current ad to your salespage and sell it yourself. When you sell it and get the persons ad information simply send it to me and i will change the information of your ad to the new advertisers ad. Sound cool?

I really dont know what else to offer people for exchanging links, free traffic, ability to sell free ad space yourself for a profit. I mean really what else? Timely updates, ok i slacked over the weekend, but when i do update "the four required words" blog, it a good read, well at least i hope it is.

This entire contest will last 4 months, and in that time i am expecting to receive a decent amount of traffic.

Another SEO technique and traffic technique is purchasing domain names that i think people will type in within the next four months, i went and registered these 2 domains because i think they will produce their worth in traffic and also help in the search engines. Im sure when this contest becomes more wide spread that there will be people intrested in the domains i registered and will probly wind up going to the url.

The domains are TheFourRequiredWords.com and The-Four-Required-Words.com both of which are pointing to this blog. And in the case that someone tries to muff my chances, i will break out one of these guys.

Now some SEO experts must be thinking, what in the hell is this idiot doing offering to exchange links when he is currently in a SEO contest?

Look I might be a little out there but im not dumb, the pixel grid is shown through an I frame on this site, and is actually hosted on another website, which means when a link is placed it is being shown here and people can click on it and goto your site from here, but as far as the search engines are concerned they only see an i frame, and they have a little trouble with them anyway. So the outgoing links arent actually coming from this blog they are coming from TenThousandBlocks.com where the pixel grid is currently being hosted. This also means that anyone who links to this blog, it is a one way link for us, even though it may apper to be a reciprocal link...its not for you either, the person who links to us is still able to have their ad shown, benefit from our traffic, and sell their ad space when the grid fills up. Nothing changes, just now you know why we are doing what we are doing and maybee we are wrong and it will backfire. Who knows you will just have to keep up with this to find out our progress.

What can i say im full of tricks. Stay Tuned Clown Hats.
