At first a search in google.ie returned only a few related results, mostly bebo, digg and other social networking websites, but now Google return more than 9000 results.

As expected the SERPs are shifting every day and as I write this #1 spot is taken by taskdrop.com followed by mybluejumper.com and respectively bluejumperireland.com

BlueJumper.net took almost a week to appear in the results, starting on page 3, then moved up to page 4 the next day, and today the 05 Nov. 2008 14:30 page 2

Not bad for a new domain….

The competition seems very tight at the moment and only time could tell…

It’s a good learning process and it’s well worth a go… I, for one, am enjoying it…

Damien Mulley with some feedback from Cormac & Richard announced a new competition to find the “Greatest SEO of them all” available only for Irish individuals and Irish business, but read on because there are a few rules that can not be broken:

Criteria:

1. Entries open to all Irish individuals and Irish businesses.
2. Search is to be performed on www.google.ie without Pages From Ireland selected, with personalisation off and from an Irish IP address.
3. The domain to rank must be a new domain. Must not contain the keywords in the domain name at all and no ccTLD domains are to be used.
4. Only want the homepage to rank, not other non-useful pages.
5. 301 redirects are not permitted.
6. Keywords as gaeilge (Geansai Gorm) instead of English but copy can be in English

So lets find out who’s the best spammer on this…
As I said is just for fun so please don’t go over board…
