Yes -- definitely. Those "quick" rankings seldom last, but they can be awesome for taking advantage of sudden news stories.

Ack I guess I'll have to use my aged domain wabuf.com then to do it.

Whilst blogs tend to rank faster, aged authority domains almost always win in the end.

The game is far from being over. There is no significant disadvantage to a contestant who starts next week.

To keep the contest "real", we have to allow whatever Google allows. In an SEO contest, "real" is more important than "fair" -- because Google certainly has no interest in fairness.

This is why we must allow exact match keyword domain names and multiple entries per contestant -- because Google does.

Now, if Google penalizes your entry down to page twenty of the SERPS... that means you did something not allowed.

I know!!! What are the odds of that??

Well, I for one believe in manifest destiny and I take this as a sign. Maybe I was meant to lose my job. Maybe I was meant to start a blog yesterday so that I would find this contest and become an SEO (whatever the hell that is). What does it stand for by the way? Self Employed Ogre? Search Engine Optimist?

I've clearly got a long way to go, but things are looking up. I'd love some help getting started - you can help by going here:

Actually Retsambew sounds quite like an Uzbek surname and Sulumits would well fit for a name.

Actually, I'm not from Uzbekistan - I was named after my uncle Sulumits Retsambew.
