Search results for "the four required words"

Every so often i check out the search results for "the four required words", naturally as i want to see where i stand in the rankings and also where others stand as well as see the quality of their content compared to mine. Needless to say i dont think content and how many words you stuff on your page plays a significant role in where you will stand in the search engine rankings. If it did than "the four required words" blog would be listed first. I just havent seen anyone with the amount of content pertaining to "the four required words" as this blog holds. What i have seen is alot of pages linking to one central contest page. These links come in from old established websites with good backlinks itself, doorway pages from free services like free blog hosts, and alot of free website hosts, and little networks that were built by the seo'er. These little networks can include directories, forums, blogs and linking to eachother and one central contest page. Now the best information for "the four required words" maybe the 5th search engine result down, but the only way you would know it would be to goto the first 4 result pages. This is something people often do when they are looking for anything or researching anything. People are always looking for the best information and often times the best information or what they are looking for isnt within the first few results. The reason for this is competition over the keyword phrase, in this instance its "the four required words", but it can be anything and the same thing applies to everything when your trying to get listed better for specific keywords.

What i tried to do with "the four required words" blog is not to build a little network or have 10 doorway pages to increase backlinks but to have just one page with good content or at least better than whats out their, and to get incoming links but not by creating a bunch of different keyword rich pages for free and linking to my blog. That method while is does to seem to be working will be more short term than long term, and i think the goal is to have your site or blog listed as high as possible for as long as possible. These methods will be weeded out and eventually dropped, and you shouldnt consider using them if your goal is long term. Seeing as how "the four required words" seo contest is short term, and most seo contest run for 1 year max, it might be a good method to use. But not for an e-commerce store whos goal is more long term, and i mean i havent met anyone who just wanted to stay in business for a year, and your approach to search engines should be similar.

"The four required words" blog however will be going and be up for a while after the seo contest finishes. And will carry into the next seo contest i enter, not as a competitor but as a backlink to my competition page. I feel this will be more of a quality relevant link than it would be to just throw up a few doorway pages, and all the time spent on this blog shouldnt and wont be wasted.

It basically comes down to how much you are willing to work and how much others are willing to out work you.
