Apparently google doesn't like me very much, I am actually at #258 on google for Cpayscom2 Online Casino , I don't know why I am not ranking better on Google for cpayscom2 :( It's probably because it's now a *competitive* keyword?
I seem to be ranking much better for the cpayscom2 online casino keyword variation like I did for MSN. On google also with just a little change in the word place and the result is very different, I searched for the same keywords as I did on MSN, well on google I am not on the first page for most of the cpayscom2 online casino variations, so I won't bother looking where I am.
I am ranking only for one or two of these cpayscom2 online casino variations:
Cpayscom2 - #4 (795,000)
Online Cpayscom2 - #1 (719,000) lol seeing me #1 for this *non targeted* keyword gives me courage to work harder :p
Cpayscom2 Online - #2 (764,000)
Google is so weird, see I am #4 for "cpayscom2" #2 for "cpayscom2 online" and #258 for "cpayscom2 online casino", wow what a big jump! I hope to be ranking batter in some days or weeks...
I am talking about google to take my thoughts away from thinking about the 1st cpayscom2 online casino checkpoint which is in TOMORROW! Yes it's already Saturday here in Mauritius (12:53 am) as I am writing this, there's almost around 28 hours left (GMT) for the first checkpoint. Haha! I don't know why I am kinda *stressed*.. checking MSN constantly to see where I am when I know I don't really stand a chance for this first checkpoint.
But it's fun to see how results for cpayscom2 online casino is constantly changing on MSN these last few days, casinomoney lost his #2 position, the bloglines page jumped from #5 to #2, I've been moving in the 3-5 positions now am at #4. #1 position is still for cpayscom.com, it will be very difficult for any contestant to remove them from there, their backlinks are increasing day by day with new contestants joining the cpayscom2 online casino seo contest, it seems they'll keep this position for quite a long time.
The countdown started, let's see what happens in a little bit more than 24 hours, I just had a look at the cpayscom latest announcements, the post where they talked about *me* and casinomoney is back, and their latest post they talked about the potential winner *casinomoney* ;) that was a week ago, in just a week that bloglines page took his place. LOL, let's see what can happen in 24 hours, have fun :D
My Cpayscom2 Online Casino Blog On Google
Cpayscom2 Online Casino SERP Changing Constantly On MSN
Wow this is really *unexpected* what happened on MSN today, what a change, casinomoney is no more in the first position for Cpayscom2 Online Casino, the place has been taken by a bloglines page, haha seems my Cpayscom2 Online Casino preditions are all wrong! I am now at number 4 for Cpayscom2 Online Casino just after casinomoney.
Have you noticed that MSN just crawled and updated the cache page for the bloglines page actually at #2 for Cpayscom2 Online Casino? I talked about that sometimes back, everytime MSN crawls a page it's boosted back to the top positions.
I checked the backlinks for the bloglines and and it has more than 700, I actually have only 57 backlinks showing on MSN so, I can call it a lost battle for the first Cpayscom2 Online Casino checkpoint. No way I can get 700 backlinks in 3 days, let's just hope that MSN will crawl my page again.
----------
EDIT (29.09.06)
LOL I was not wrong, MSN is really showing 700+ backlinks for the bloglines page
Aahhh now I don't feel too stupid :p
I am still at #4 for Cpayscom2 Online Casino, and there's no way I can improve my rank unless MSN visit me in these 2 days left before the first checkpoint :D
The MSN Bots prayer:
Please please visit my Cpayscom2 Online Casino Blog
Come Come I am waiting for you
bla bla bla
Now I really sound stupid :p
My Cpayscom2 Online Casino Predictions For The First Checkpoint
Results for Cpayscom2 Online Casino is changing constantly on MSN, yesterday I was @ #3 today I am back at #4, in short there's no way I can get to #1 for this first Cpayscom2 Online Casino checkpoint which is just in four days (almost nothing can be done in such little time).
If MSN crawls my Cpayscom2 Online Casino blog in these 4 days I'll probably get back to #3 since casinomoney has way much more backlinks than me and I've seen cpays-online-casinos has been crawled and now @ #3 (hehe you took my place).
Ok, the title is talking about the first Cpayscom2 Online Casino Winner prediction (lol just according to the results, I don't know a thing about predictions). If MSN doesn't crawl my blog again I say I'll end up at #5 since that bloglines page is catching up quickly.
So, here are my predictions (Only positions for contestants I will not include www.cpayscom.com):
# 1 - casinomoney.blogspot.com
# 2 - cpays-online-casinos.blogspot.com
# 3 - www.bloglines.com/blog/cpayscom2casino
# 4 - cpayscom2onlinecasino-seocontest.blogspot.com (yaay that's ME)
# 5 - www.cpayscom2-online-casino.biz
# 6 - cpayscom2online2casinos.wordpress.com
# 7 - elursrebmemv7ndotcom.blogspot.com (hehe pammer you are catching up quickly) ;)
# 8 - surf-invest.blogspot.com
# 9 - www.cpayscomonlinecasinos.com
# 10 - ww.cpayscom2--online-casino.com
I have not included oldstylecubs since it doesn't have the required links for the Cpayscom2 Online Casino SEO Contest...
Phew why have I listed 10 when only #1 will win $1000 for the first Cpayscom2 Online Casino Checkpoint :p I think I got too much time on my hands, I'd better submit my articles to get some links rather than posting this, but it'll not help since the time the article got accepted and for the SE crawlers to visit the published articles, the Cpayscom2 Online Casino Checkpoint will already be over.
Only 2 days ago (the post before this one) I posted about the Cpayscom2 Online Casino keyword variations today I checked again for some of the keywords and wow SERP changed so much in just 2 days! We never know what other changes there'll be in 4 days, every Cpayscom2 Online Casino contestant still have a chance to win, so, cross fingers and Good Luck to all.
Cpayscom2 Online Casino Keyword Variations
MSN is playing with me! Yes I call it playing, why is the SERP changing so much lately for Cpayscom2 Online Casino, just 3 days ago I posted that I was back in the Top5 on MSN for Cpayscom2 Online Casino well I was at #4 for the contest keyword and that was when MSN crawled my blog MSN was then displaying 43,871 results.
But today I am seeing myself at #3 and MSN hasn't visited my blog again! and now MSN is showing 50,411 results, 7000 new pages in just 3 days! that's amazing.
Seems like MSN wants to surprise me, lol. It's difficult to understand how MSN works since SERP is changing everyday. I thought your rank changes only when MSN crawls your page and updates your cached page, but seems this is wrong!
I also checked where I was ranking for some variations of the keywords "Cpayscom2 Online Casino"
Following details are in this format: Keyword - my rank - # of results
3 words
Cpayscom2 Online Casino - #3 - 50,411
Cpayscom2 Casino Online - #3 - 51,879
Casino Cpayscom2 Online - #2 - 51,790
Casino Online Cpayscom2 - #5 - 53,219
Online Casino Cpayscom2 - #5 - 53,463
Online Cpayscom2 Casino - #4 - 53,489
2 words
Cpayscom2 Casino - #1 - 53,223
Cpayscom2 Online - #9 - 50,811
Casino Cpayscom2 - #4 - 55,570
Online Cpayscom2 - #7 - 56,726
1 word
Cpayscom2 - #9 - 56,585
That's amazing how SERPs can change for such slightly different keyword, well not different just the same words placed in varied places, in the 3 words, all are compilations of Cpayscom2 Online Casino placed differently but see how much the results are different and I am ranking differently for each variation.
Good that I spent some precious time doing this, feels good to know that I am on page one for almost all the variations of the keywords "Cpayscom2 Online Casino" and I am at #1 for at least 'Cpayscom2 Casino'. :-D
Seems everybody is working hard to catch up this last week (well 6 days) before the first Cpayscom2 Online Casino checkpoint next Sunday 01.10.06. Too late for me haha, casinomoney seems to be keeping his #1 position firmly. It will be more than difficult to outrank him in just 6 days, bah that'll teach me not to be lazy if I want to win something. :)
Cpayscom2 Online Casino SEO Tips
This will be more than just SEO Tips for the Cpayscom2 Online Casino SEO Contest, I will share with you some SEO tips that you can use for your other websites also. In short i'll give some details about the things to do and to avoid for better ranking on the major Search Engines i.e. Google, MSN and Yahoo. And let it be clear, I am not saying I am a SEO expert, it's things I have noticed over time.
Let's start with some on site optimization. Many people don't use meta tags, it's true that they are almost "dead" but Search Engines still pick your title and description tag for their listing. I noticed that google take part of you description tag and some random text from your website as description so it's good to have keyword rich content. Try to include your main keyword (e.g. Cpayscom2 Online Casino) in almost all your post if you have a blog, be very informative and add fresh and unique content regularly. Every body knows the saying 'Content' is King, but many doesn't understand this and just get tons of content, mostly from article directories, which will lead you nowhere since these articles have been published at hundreds of other websites. So it's best to say 'Unique content is King'. Also if you use images, don't forget the alt tags, remember that search engines can not read images, some say that it is good to include keyword in the image filename but so far I have not seen how this helps most important is the alt tags, try to be as descriptive as possible.
Second thing to consider now that your Cpayscom2 Online Casino website is ready and search engine friendly is your link building campaign. Many people misunderstand this and think that the only thing to do is to get tons of links as fast as possible, this is not true. Link building takes time and should be from different sources like these:
1 - SE's Submission (to get more exposure but not very necessary)
2 - Directory Submission (submit to the most related category)
3 - Writing Article's
4 - Blogging (please blog wisely, don't SPAM)
5 - Forums (some forums allows links in signature)
6 - Press Release (make sure you have something news worthy)
7 - Reciprocal Link (I hate doing link exchange, but well it still helps so go for it and make sure to exchange link with only related websites)
I've seen many people whining about why search engines ban them or why they are no longer in SERP and so on, I think the reason is because they have got thousands of links from many sources (mostly unrelated) and then for a good period no links at all, the search engines probably saw these links as FFA since they were acquired over a very short time, that's why I am telling to spread your link campaign over a period of time, you'll build link slowly and search engines will not penalize you. And do not concentrate on only one source of incoming links, I've seen many people just buy links here and there, they does not care whether these links are related or not. Think big, I've listed 7 ways to get links above, it's much better to get links from different sources. Another thing that I noticed is many Cpayscom2 Online Casino are bombing blogs with comments and most only links to their Cpsyscom2 Online Casino entry, this is considered SPAM, you will probably be penalized for this. I am not saying blog comments is not good, but moderate it, one or two legitimate comments here and there won't hurt.
According to me, the key to have better SERP is to stay SPAM free, stay away from FFA, link farms, comment SPAM, and never try to fool search engines, have fresh and unique content. With all these it will be hard for the search engines to refuse you some love.
Cpayscom2 Online Casino First Checkpoint, Only A Week Left
Yes only a week left for the first Cpayscom2 Online Casino checkpoint, i.e the 1st of October (don't know at what time they will check) , I just had a look at the terms and conditions page and time isn't mentioned for the checkpoint dates.
One week is too short to catch up, lol I'll consider it as $1000 lost! :D Am kidding, but it's kinda fair I don't win this first prize since I joined the competition a bit later than some of the other contestant in the Top 10 for Cpayscom2 Online Casino and also my blog is so new compared to others. I've seen many are participating with their entry to the first SEO contest by cpayscom.com where the keywords were "cpayscom online casinos", it's obvious that they have better chance than me to win since they already have tons of *related* backlinks (I say related since the keywords for this contest doesn't differ much from the other one).
I was also looking at the cpayscom announcements page, and seen that they removed the latest post where they talked about the potential winner for this first checkpoint and they also mentioned about me (being the female SEO at #3 on MSN for "Cpayscom2 Online Casino"). I don't think cpayscom.com removed that entry just like that, I am pretty sure (lol must be my female instinct!) it's a contestant who asked them to remove it since it's a link to our blog/website... Anyway it's not really a problem for me, but I was *proud* that they mentioned about me and being a girl in the cpayscom2 contest!! :-)
But since we're talking about links from cpayscom.com website it'll be nice to remove the links to the winners of the first contest websites since many are participating with these or cpayscom can also just give the URL but not make the link live. Hmm why am I worrying so much. Let's not be *jealous* as some contestant and concentrate on my blog. (I'll do like casinomoney) hahaha don't worry I am not copying your content I just like the way you think ;) love ya :p
I like to check other contestant's pages from time to time, there's one who seems to be whining about why others are ranking so well, I don't know why he/she is like that, I personally think he/she will not go very far if he/she continues to think this way. I've seen some are following my steps (hehe I know it since I check where I leave my links for the Cpayscom2 Online Casino seo contest). Anyway I really think that in the SEO world you better be friendly than agressive, you'll get much further, and it's better to have friends rather than ennemies...
Hope you are not bored after reading all this ^ :-D
So far I've not done anything yet since yesterday to improve my ranking on MSN, feeling lazy and it's weekend, bah I should stop thinking like this I don't know why I always say I will do this or that tomorrow and we all know the saying "Tomorrow Never Comes"! and it's true since everyday I say tomorrow etc etc.
Last thing, I am still looking for link partners for my Cpayscom2 Online Casino entry, every contestant are most welcome. Check here for more info.
Cpayscom.com #1 for Cpayscom2 Online Casino on MSN and Yahoo!
Ok, it's not a *scoop* that Cpayscom.com is #1 on MSN for the contest's keyword Cpayscom2 Online Casino
I was checking who was #1 on Yahoo for Cpayscom2 Online Casino on Yahoo and saw cpayscom.com it at position #1 there also!
Let's see how much time it'll take for cpayscom website to reach the #1 position on google! It will not be very easy on google, as I am pretty sure google considers most of the Cpayscom2 Online Casino websites as spam..
Let's talk about my blog now, I don't know why I am not ranking better on Yahoo or Google for Cpayscom2 Online Casino, I am not yet in the Top 100 on any of these 2 Search Engines... :(
I am not losing hope now, the contest still have 5 full months to go ;)
What I thought is probably Yahoo and Google give much more importance to content unlike MSN, not sure about this yet, but seems that the top10 websites for Cpayscom2 Online Casino on Yahoo are websites talking mostly about online gambling, poker etc. Bah! These SE's are so complicated to understand.
I will try in the coming weeks to get more content related to online casino, online gambling and other stuffs related to this. I don't know a thing about all these and to tell the truth I never even played in a real casino... There's one casino here in my town, I'll go there this week to know a bit how a casino works, well I think online casino will not differ much from real one?
Another thing I noticed is that most of the top10 websites (well the contestant) on all the 3 search engines knows quite a bit about online gambling so I guess they must be the first to have joined the competition, and it's probably the reason why they are ranking well (hehe for now).
----------
My plan for this week:
1- Get some info about online casino, online gambling, poker etc (I'll be thankful if you could share your resources with me)
2- Write 1 more article (too bad I can only write about SEO)
3- Update blog daily (very important, I've updated every 2-3 days and I think I need more content)
Back in Top 5 on MSN
As the title says I am back among the Top 10 websites for Cpayscom2 Online Casino, I am at position #4 when I checked this morning (some may still see me @ #6 if MSN has't update all its datacenters yet)
Well I am more exactly @ #3 among the contestants since cpayscom.com doesn't count for the competition.
One thing I noticed is that my rank is *updated* everytime MSN crawls my blog, last time was the same thing, and seems MSN crawled and updated my cached page after 1 month! which is quite long. Cpayscom.com is crawled almost every week, maybe because it is now a *very* popular website, with all the links that it has :D
Too bad I hadn't worked on link building for my blog these last weeks, if I knew MSN was going to crawl my blog on the 20th of October I'd tried to get as many links as possible hahaha.
Anyway it will not be easy to get to the #1 position for the first checkpoint (i.e. 1st October) since my friend casinomoney (hello to ya ;) seems to be working hard with his link building.
Note to myself: It doesn't pay to be lazy! pfft :(
Cpayscom2 Online Casino Smart SEO Competition?
By now it's pretty obvious that the website www.cpayscom.com will be #1 in MSN for quite some time for Cpayscom2 Online Casino and with all the backlinks that they have (more than 10k) it will be a bit difficult to outrank the website.
What *kinda* shocked me today is this:
Can you believe it!!! The website cpayscom.com is now #1 in MSN for the keyword "SEO" with more than 5million results, that's amazing!
Cpayscom.com is also #1 for many other keywords "seo contest", "online casino seo contest" among others, these are fine but cpayscom.com being #1 for "SEO"! That's funny, I'd love to see an average internet user learning about seo and searching for the keyword on msn! :D
Imagine his surprise, poor guy he'll probably think that SEO is just an online contest thingy and he should have the words "Cpayscom2 Online Casino" somewhere on his website!
I think I know the reason why cpayscom.com is #1 for "SEO", see the phrase that we added to our website, check who's under the word "seo", you'll get the answer :D Hmm this means that anchor text is something really important, I just checked the website and now the anchor text for cpayscom.com is "Search Engine Optimization", hah! let's see how much time it'll take for them to rank for this keyword also.

Bad news for Cpayscom2 Online Casino contestant using blogger.. check this , YES! Blogger will be down *again* today :(
Google Cannot Differentiate Human or Automated Behaviour!
Yes Google thought I am a probably a computer virus or spyware!.. In short google thinks I am automated!
This sound silly but just check this image:
What's the problem with google? Me.. automated? Oh.. uh! Google do come to Mauritius some time (when you are free from automated addiction!), you'll see that I am 100% human!
Here's how I got that message from google:
I was checking how much pages I had indexed for my Cpayscom2 Online Casino blog by google, I typed in this "link:cpayscom2onlinecasino-seocontest.blogspot.com" as usual google returned 10 results per page, I wanted to change this to 50 and bang! google thinks I am automated! lol they are funny. IMO this is a really silly and stupid message, if a query like this was automated it would already change the results to 50, don't you think?
Anyway this is really sad that google reacts this way to human behaviour, I am sure future softwares will ressemble more and more to human behaviour, what will google do then?
