19 days left on Globalwarming Awareness2007 Contest
So we are comming closer to the end date of the biggest SEO contest ever. 19 days are remaining and my site Globalwarming Awareness2007 is still doing very good in the contest. In this minute I actually have the 3. place in the contest with best rank in Yahoo.
It is a shame the offcial site do not use time on updating their score card/leaderboard, but then it’s good others are 🙂
The last couple of days my site has been bouncing between 1. and 3. place on Yahoo search and this is the recent total score card for the contest. Continue reading…
Rank 1 on Webdesigner in Google Denmark
I have alot of really great rankings on subjects from A-Z because of all my directories, but just noticed a new rank 1 on Google Denmark that made me smile a little. Currently I rank nr.1 on the search term “Webdesigner” that directs down to my personal webdesigner page on one of my directories..
In my universe that ought to be one of the harder words to rank good on, as the competition is insane on it, but my page got the #1 spot without any specific SEO work done to achieve it.. I love it when that happends 😀
Happy Easter to everyone
My Global Warming Awareness 2007 site
Well, it has been a while since I wrote anything about the Globalwarming Awareness2007 contest I’m participating in.
Most of my time the last couple of months has gone into clients and their websites. Development and SEO.
My rankings in the contest have not been to impressive, but that is what can be expected when no time has been put into updating the site and keep getting fresh backlinks. The normal rankings I have seen the last months for my site is around:
Google – Ranking between 40-60
Yahoo – Ranking between 10-20
MSN – Ranking between 30-200
But to my surprise as I started this thread, I noticed my site jumped to a 2th position in Yahoo. Well well, thats nice to see. 9 point is my best score so far. Maybe I should give this contest a second chance 🙂

Again, if anyone out there have a site and want to help me with backlinks, please let me know. I’m sure I can compensate with other good backlinks back to you – as thanks.
Danish Shopping Directory Launched
I had some hours free in my schedule so I took the time to tryout the Pro version of the eSyndiCat Directory script. Even though I have a good Danish Shopping Index going already on my own script, I have long wanted to try out some of the scripts avaliable on the market.
My new site: Danske Webshops
The eSyndiCat Directory script is very easy to setup, and it is easy to change themes that can be downloaded freely.
I didn’t see they had a pre-translated version for Danish, so I have translated the site myself and it was extremely easy to change languages in their system. I like that!
I will report back later on this blog and give my complete review on the directory software.
– So far I’m pretty impressed
New webshop released for client in Denmark – Sunglasses
Yesterday night I finally released the new website for a client of mine in Denmark who specialises in sale of quality eyewear as sunglasses, goggles and glasses.
The webshop is based on my own source and the new design and function upgrade has been made with desire from the customer. The season for eyewear in Denmark is just about to bloom, so the release comes at a good time.
Atm. the site is undergoing alot of testing to lure out the bugs that remains.
Next update will include multilanguage support and enhanced user options.
I wish them luck with their new webshop and hope sales go as expected.
A great HTML editor for your webpages
I used this open source HTML editor quite a few years ago on some of my old pages, and just came by their site again today, so it gets a quick thumbs up from me here.
It is easy to integrate on your forms to turn them into MS Word alike editors with alot of neat options. Can be great for managing your pages looks through an admin interface or used in some other way that can fit your needs.
FCKeditor as it is called, offers integration packs for ASP.Net, ASP, ColdFusion, PHP, Java, Active-FoxPro, Lasso, Perl, Python and the editor runs over Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

Results on the Directory Contest that ended feb. 6
So we got to the final day of the competition and my own directory seems to have been placed on rank 5, which should give a 4th place total.. How about that huh.
I launched www.global-weblinks.com at feb 22nd 2006 and almost 1 year later it is able to get a 4th place on a popular international contest for directories.
I am very pleased with the results and I can see all the work I have put into this directory through the last year, pays off. Quality is obtainable by normal people if you put your heart and time into it.
The judges will the next couple of days go through all the results and ban those who have cheated in any way, so the final scorecard might vary.

Shared servers for webhosting – You just gotta hate it
Again today I am having trouble with my webhost. And they have no clue on what service and support means. I cannot get a hold on them. Grrrrrrrrrr. 4 of my directories are affected as they are on the same server/ip
System Resources Exceeded.
I am the only to blaim for this, and I need to learn from this right NOW.
Looking at several dedicated servers atm for my directories, so I’m not in the hands on some script noob making deadlocks in his scripts.
Same thing happend christmas eve, I mailed and phoned the support constantly, and they first replied to me the 27th December, and had no clue what had happend.. Wonder how any webhosting company can survive with this kind of support..
I got over 30 domains hosted at them, and they are all getting moved now.
1 year status on my directories
After 1 year online with my first directories, it is time to do some evaluation of the work and results I have achieved.
Generally I have been working hard on promoting my directories by submitting to hundreds/thousands of other sites and directories. Simultaneously I’ve been working hard on the internal side by improving the directories on a lot of factors. New designs, new structures, new functions.
In 1 year I have received around 20.000 submissions totally throughout all of my directories. That’s pretty amazing, but one also have to realise the amount of useless submissions made. I collect quality and only quality!
To many out there think spending 2 hours on a templated site and pasting it with Adsense ads will make them rich, and would get them inside every directory out there..
Make some quality people, or simply forget it. You are not only wasting your own time, but also every directory owners where you submit your “want to earn money spam”.
Well, back to good stuff. I just checked my stats and some searches and this is some of the SERPs I am proud of achieving

These do not really give any traffic worth mentioning, but its still some good words and terms to rank on.
I.e. the Danish ones, I rank above Jubii.dk on Link & Links.. And guess what they do for a living in their multimillion dollar firm? They do in links/directory and searches.
So breaking them alone is something I can only be proud of. I must be doing something right 🙂
For the future I will keep doing what I do now. Making new quality directories, and maintaining/improving the ones I already have.
