This site is still floating around page 8 - 10. I guess it’s time to stir up the pot a bit more and go looking for some additional link Love. Hey! Someones even got an adwords account for the competition. I wonder who that could be??? Does that put them in the #1 position?

It’s been over a week since my last update. I guess everyday life has become more important than this silly contest. It’s difficult to stay pumped for a competition with no real prize (for myself) other than bragging rights. I realize the prize is worth a good deal of money but as the owner of a blossoming real estate website development company myself I have little use for a template site. No disrespect at all to Morgan, his sites kick ass and he knows a hell of a lot more than I do about SEO. I just like the challenge of designing and creating my own. My new sites will not be sold to the general public but will be shared with members of my soon to be nationwide brokerage;) No matter what the outcome, I have learned a good deal from creating and promoting this site. I took a new domain name and hosting and had it indexed by Google in three days and within a week I was showing up on the first page of Google for certain keywords, unfortunately not the one we are shooting for. I have however seen this site go from page 18, to page 11, and now it’s on page 8. With almost two months to go I may still achieve my goal of being somewhere on page two or three for the term Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World. Enough of my rambling, with almost a week since my last post we do have some movement on page 1. Movements are calculated from my previous post on Feb29th.
