Ok, so I am number 1 now. But it is still February, and the SEO contest ends on April 1. This is totally still anyone’s game and now is not a moment to rejoice or be happy. After looking at the SERPs, I noticed, Major Kontrapelo floating around the first page up and down and is now at number 5.

I was working on this WordPress theme for SEOContest2008 and decided to test it out here on my SEO/SEM blog before applying it on own SEOContest2008 site. So far I see no problems and I just have to integrate a few SMO plugins for the site.

And in that process, I checked out the directory plugin that I am using for Yicrosoft Directory. Let’s see how this works.

And I know some people laughed at my SEO Song, well guess what? There is a new song, the PPC Song! But… I didn’t sing this one. Someone else did and I must say he did it pretty well. Check it out.
