Still as of today this blog is not indexed yet by google but im still keeping my fingers crossed that google.com can somehow add this one before the  ends. Anyway, I was also fortunate that a friend of mine (Lagahit.com) who also joined the "&lt;a href="http://www.lagahit.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CEBU SEO CONTEST&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;" made it to the top. In fact, as of this writing he's on the 3rd spot while realpinoy once again conquered the top spot bring vonx cebublog to the second place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;great to see these guys competing with each other. none of them i suppose is an expert in seo but they're still showcasing their mastery of the said undertaking. but what actually triggered me most is that this is now a battle against PR's.. as you can see both guys on top have pr2 &amp;amp; pr3 respectively while lagahit.com has pr0. now, who do you guess would win the contest? the pr guys or pr0 geek. but hey! don't forget about this blog coz this is built for that "&lt;a href="http://www.lagahit.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cebu seo contest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" of lhurey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, let's just see where this blog ranks on the latter rounds...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5731767130453851140-8317100694148534253?l=cebuseocontest.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cebuseocontest.blogspot.com/feeds/8317100694148534253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5731767130453851140&amp;postID=8317100694148534253' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5731767130453851140/posts/default/8317100694148534253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5731767130453851140/posts/default/8317100694148534253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cebuseocontest.blogspot.com/2008/08/cebu-seo-contest-against-pr3-pr4.html' title='CEBU SEO CONTEST : Against PR3 &amp;

"no specific rules." This is also the reason why I created this blog. Honestly, blogs built for this has a quite big advantage - you know what I mean. But of course it's also challenging since a lot of blogs have already made it at the top so this  won't be a walk in the park for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I'll keep everyone posted for more updates of this contest. &lt;a href="http://wordpresspremiumthemes.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;free wordpress themes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5731767130453851140-8750702342658685411?l=cebuseocontest.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cebuseocontest.blogspot.com/feeds/8750702342658685411/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5731767130453851140&amp;postID=8750702342658685411' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5731767130453851140/posts/default/8750702342658685411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5731767130453851140/posts/default/8750702342658685411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cebuseocontest.blogspot.com/2008/08/cebu-seo-contest-no-specific-rules.html' title='Cebu Seo Contest : no specific rules...'/><author><name>Traveler</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08353005296559393077'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
