Can Sulumits Retsambew Magic Happen in 31 Days?
Am I in? Or am I out? I do not know myself. So far this was one of the loooooongggest SEO contest I have joined. And ironically, this is also one where I am not doing much either. What has been keeping me busy:

Will WolframAlpha Crash Later or Amaze Us Beyond Google?
Will WolframAlpha Crash Later or Amaze Us Beyond Google?
Yes! After I have been waiting for this launch, my fingers are shaking, trembling, and I can't wait to use them when I get a hold of WolframAlpha and let's see if it pushes G out of it's spot as the one of the top search engines. For a long time, my typing fingers has always sought after the G spot since it gives more relevant information than Yahoo and MSN/Live.
If you are not familiar with WolframAlpha, check this out.
Just so much power, I feel I am facing StarTrek Technology, talking to a computer giving me pertinent answers.

Sulumits Retsambew is thinking… do I still have a chance in this contest?
I have joined many similar contest in the past. Although most were 2 to 3 months long. This new contest I've joined is too damn long. Which is one of the reasons why I feel lazy doing anything. I feel it is too easy to attack and if I pour my whole heart and soul into it early just to find out someone else will take over, can feel very dissapointing. But on the other hand... doing nothing makes me worried. Maybe it can get worst and never be able to catch up.

Disabling Twitter Updates
I decided to test for some time the plugin Twitter Tools. Aside from posting on twitter your latest blog post, it also post on your blog your latest tweets! First impression it is cool, actually it really is. Problem was I tweet more often than I blog.

SEO Contest & Spamming Sphinn
We all know links help in ranking. And in SEO contest, many are involved in various link building strategies. Whitehat link baiting to the extreme blatant artificial link building. Many competitors like using social bookmarking sites and many keep bookmarking tons of useless content just for the link from a social bookmarking site.
Social bookmarking is a fine way to gain links, but I am noticing in many SEO contest, people submitting useless pages or irrelevant pages to niche social bookmarking sites. And probably the worst place to submit a SEO contest entry in a social bookmarking site is on Sphinn.

Thanks for the SEOContest2008 help but please do not overhelp
- First of all is, I would like to thank everyone I solicited help in my SEO efforts for this contest.
- And I guess I have to even thank even more those that voluntarily help without even me asking.
- And I thank even a lot more those that asked me how they can help before they actually did help me.
Now that I have enumerated these 3 groups... I would like to point out number 2.
For those that gave me sitewide links near the last minute... some people have different thoughts on this, but with my thoughts, a sitewide link is too fast of a link building technique considering the near closing of this contest. I personally fear the sitewide link when the contest is near it's ending because I have this belief that the link building will be to fast and may trigger some delay filter. An editorial link still in my opinion works best.
Next is, in the last few weeks, I have see people giving me 301s that I believe were not present before. Although I appreciate your concern in helping out, please be aware that this is a no-301 rule contest. Aside from that, adding your 301s in this last few days is not that effective since it was added at the last minute. I am not fully aware of everyone who did this, but two people I clearly have seen doing this is...
G. Ortiz and M. Rogers
As for Ms. Ortiz, I have spoken with her after one of the people on UK Webmaster World asked me about one site. I saw what you did. I appreciate the help. And thank you for taking off the 301 you added at the last minute.
Now for Mr. Rogers, well what can I say. I never had any plans of talking to you which I believe you already know. And whatever you are doing, which I am not really sure, if you are helping or putting me into disaster. I have seen your site a few weeks back (thanks Eli for telling me about this 301) and it barely had content and now you change it to a 301. Please remove it. It was added too near the end and it will barely help too. Thanks but no thanks.
UPDATE: I posted this at the spur of the moment and was not quite sure how the tone of my blog post is. I did not wish to offend anyone and did not mean I do not appreciate your help. What I meant was simply stick to editorial post. A blog story with a link will do. And no 301s please, it's too late in the contest day anyway. Same with sitewide links, just stick with editorial links. That's all. Again thank you and I very much appreciate your concern.

SEOContest2008 Problem 10: Dancing with the Sphere
SEOContest2008-Sphere.com has been trading places with me for the number 1 and 2 spots. It has been like a daily unstableness. In the previous SEO contest I have joined, I usually do nothing in the last few days of the contest. Mainly because if you over do it, there is also such a thing as over optimize, that may affect your ranking even more. In the SEO World Championship, in the last two weeks I literally did nothing myself and the results seemed to be more stable then. But for this contest, results change like on a daily basis, where sometimes I am number 1, sometimes I am number 2.
Team SEOSphere is not Stopping
As much as I want to stop to avoid any sudden drops, the SEOContest2008-Sphere.com team seems to keep going on. And it seems like their work is paying off. And whatever I start doing now, may not be enough to stay back at the number 1 spot. Aside from that, doing it too much too fast can drop me down as well. In fact sometimes I do not like changing my site that much when I am already ranking high. But in this case, I saw the need to.
Wild Ride on SEOContest2008!
James kept me on my toes with only 3 days left, I know I can't do anything about it. My friend from 55 Brownlow Ave. would sure be happy knowing that I am jittered. I have this book I need to photocopy. And I've heard that you have a great Xerox machine over there that can do 10,000 copies per minute. I'm losing hope, thanks for giving me some consolation knowing that you are the champ.

Strategy Difference in the SEO World Championship and UK Webmaster World’s SEO Contest
I joined the SEO World Championship by Get Updated last year. This so called annual SEO contest that started in January 15, 2007 and I was waiting for this annual event in 2008 which just did not seem to come. With my best effort to look for the next best SEO Contest, I ended up joining UK Webmaster World's SEO Contest.
I won the SEO World Championship and won my SEO contest car, but for the UK Webmaster World contest, we still don't know yet who really wins. This contest ends on April 1 and as much as I try to maintain my lead, I know Paul Sanches and Martin Svilenov, current number 2 and number 3 respectively are not stopping in trying to get the top spot.
But even if I won the SEO World Championship, my whole SEO strategy was completely different in these two contest.
