Geansai Gorm

And so far the geansai gorm listings look pretty much like they did last night. (unfortunately for me)

With less than 24 hours when I made my final push it would appear it was too little too late. Ah well.

What didn’t I do. Well it would appear the social media profiles for one thing. I’m unsure how much of an effect they would have had but they do tend to get indexed pretty regularly by the engines. (I also didn’t want to go to the hastle of setting up all those accounts. I can barely keep track of the ones I have let alone a load of Geansai Gorm ones )

Apart from that I’d guess the tipping points would have been just that little bit of extra link juice from other sites. I think I’ve only linked in from about 5 of my sites (though it may be a few more … 7 ? ) and the few forums I’m a part of.

Obviously the biggest factor you’ll have noted was the link text that people linked in with. The term people wanting to do well for being “Geansai Gorm” the link text obviously being Geansai Gorm if at all possible.

Anyways its breakfast time. One has to make do with the little things …

You’d be forgiven if you thought it was an episode from South Park … no I’m not saying Timmy I’m saying Geansai Gorm. Quite possibly in the same voice as Timmy though you obviously can’t hear it.

Its drawing to a close less than 24 hours left. Which makes it less than 48 hours for me to have the new Task Drop website up and running. As it currently stands I’ve about 22 items on my main work task list and I’m hoping to get a few of them finished off in the next little while. (ie tonight) Doubtful I’ll get much of a chance to do anything further with TaskDrop and I actually expect the person who holds the number 1 place at 9 in the morning to be the one who wins.

Obviously the whole competition has been quite interesting in some ways annoying in others. Its given a chance to see what the competition are doing. Though to be honest if you didn’t already know then you’d probably have had more difficulty than most in the competition. I’ve seen some of the spam techniques used by others and my quite surprised that people still use them. I’m guilty myself of linking from my main sites not to mention my signatures on the various boards I’m a member of (though not actually that many)

However SEO is a weird one. One day the spammer will be number one. The next they’ll take a major hit by google and drop a hell of a lot of places. So far I’ve only had success so to speak.

Unfortunately the competition wasn’t exactly highly contested as well. I’m not sure how many official entries there are ? I counted about 12 or so I guess ? With a lot more Shrapnel from blogs and other peoples wanting their own main sites to do well or gain some link juice from people visiting or commenting on their sites.

My own tactics have also been pretty obvious as well. 1 or two heavy hitting links and board sigs coupled with a few posts on my personal blogs. I didn’t go the route of spamming various sits with pointless comments and links back though obviously if you were selling a proper product its exactly what you’d be trying to do. Though spam is probably too strong a word as its link building within social media.

Anyways I’d better end my small rant. I may post some more I may not. Its dinner time … a glass of white awaits me and a blanquette as well and I think we’ll watch a movie afterwards.

Best of luck to my two favoured entries

Well a brief note to say that I’m going to try getting busy and updating the site in the run up to the close of Geansai Gorm there have been a few interesting forum posts around if you’ve been following things. Personally I’ve not had time to do anything the last week or two so one would have noticed some slippage in the ranks which is only to be expected. While I’ve thought about creating various groups on various social media I just can’t really be bothered. I’m going to test out a few things over the last few days and hopefully its enough to push the site over the top to the acclaimed -1 position

Best of luck to everyone involved. It’ll be interesting to see with a few more days how the likes of Geansaí Gorm do. I look on with interest. Hopefully as well I’ll get some time to tweak TaskDrop some more and have it ready for the december 2nd release though at the moment god alone knows whether it’ll be possible.

Why not start your Caturday with a bit of Sarah Palin humour

If she’d only been wearing a Geansai Gorm I’d have been a lot happier. Anyways without further ado … here is the latest from the taskdrop Geansai Gorm humour archive.
