Time flies, but with less than 16 days to go in the ambatchdotcom seocontest, time to try some sneaky tactics...
On 4th October I'm still around in the top 20 - today at #16 in the list... so I'll try to give that a little boost...
A tactic I used early on in the ambatchdotcom seocontest - linking to my entry from the footer on every page at Come On Aussie Dot Com - cost me dearly... a significant drop in places!
I'm actually repeating that tactic, but using a different domain (with a higher PR) which has fewer pages... some 500 instead of the 6000 I tried before...
With two weeks to go, it'll either boost me just in time to get into the ambatchdotcom seocontest top ten - that's my main objective - or I'll disappear for a while and maybe scrape back in by the time the contest is over...
Again, time will tell.
Update - 9th October
Still in there... now showing as #15 so appear to have suffered no ill effects from my tactic described above.
So - I've since created a whole heap of NEW pages and added them to three sites - some 3900 NEW pages in total, all with my ambatchdotcom seocontest link at the bottom of the screen...
Now I wait for Google to index those new pages and pick up my link... naturally I hope :)
With only eleven days to go, I'm hoping there will be enough pages picked up in time to pump me into the top ten!
I've also linked from one set of these new 1300 pages to my "other" entry at http://voppie2006.googlepages.com/ to see what happens there in the next few days... (currently listed at #69 in Google)
