globalwarming awareness2007

Although globalwarmingawareness-2007.com is spidered regularly, Google fails to update its Serp correctly.

It currently sees only one of its entries:

The leaderboard in the globalwarming awareness2007 competition of the SEO World Championship, is showing many contestants that do not actually have a chance of winning.

The rules of contest include that it is not possible to win with a domain older than 15th january 2007 (only three days ago).

So to sum up the first following 10 entries on the leaderboard have no chance of winning:

blog.outer-court.com (4)

del.icio.us (5)

api.moreover.com (14)

seo-contest.info (16)

www.jerkasmarknad.com (17)

www.seoworldchampionship.com (18) Site of company that organizes the contest (!)

www.kevinjb.com (20)

www.bookner.com (22)

www.ioeilweb.com (24)

www.seotroll.com (25)

It seems to be that the script of the leaderboard has to be improved and has to add the variable “domain age” to it. Obviously domains older than 15th january don’t belong on the leaderboard, and especially not the the website from the organisation itself, what a joke

Compliments on the script by the way, except for this small “error”, it looks rock solid.

We rank 28 on the leaderboard on keyphrase

Msn finally updates its SERP, long after Google and Yahoo. This confirms my already quite negative thoughts about MSN, again.

Two days worth of linkbuilding paid off, my submission for the Globalwarming Awareness2007 SEO World Championship hit Google at position 14 out off over 49.000 results, not bad.

I had to make up for the slash in my domain between “awareness” and “2007″, looks like i did.

Also my blog has been “discovered” by google blogsearch, however i don’t rank particularly high yet.

In addition my site has not been included in the Yahoo index yet, although it magically knows that there are three sites linking to it (?). Time for an update.

Also MSN has failed to include me.

Both MSN’s and Yahoo’s bots did visit me already, so i wonder why they have not included me.

Just yesterday Getupdated, the organisation behind the SEO World Championship, released (part of) the following press release:

With the continuous popularity of the World Wide Web, interest for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the possibility of obtaining higher rankings in search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN Live has grown among companies worldwide. In January 15th 2007, the Swedish based company Getupdated- Internet marketing has initiated the SEO World Championship with the project keyword “GlobalWarming Awareness2007″ with the purpose of creating world consciousness of this devastating effect on our planet.

Stockholm, Sweden (PRWEB) January 16, 2007 — SEOWorldChampionship.com (www.seoworldchampionship.com), The largest SEO contest to help promote Global Warming Awareness.

While Bush is playing Indian with red stripes on his cheeks, toying around with tank units and ground troops in Iraq & Afghanistan, Al Gore seems to be on a better mission;

Globalwarming Awareness2007

(which also happens to be a keyphrase in a prestigious SEO Contest).

The war in Iraq seems to come at a high price, i quote:

The United States has appropriated well over $300 billion (PDF) to the war in Iraq, according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS). Some economists predict the entire war, based on projections U.S. forces will remain in Iraq until after 2010, may cost over $1 trillion. The price tag has drawn criticism not only because prewar projections by the White House were closer to $50 billion, but because of the manner in which the bill was budgeted: through supplemental requests, often with little time for congressional oversight or full disclosure of how the money is allocated. “It’s a question of budgetary integrity and the degree to which you are doing this outside the normal budgetary process in a way that lacks sufficient oversight,” says CFR Chair in International Economics Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former director of the Congressional Budget Office. The next supplemental request by the Pentagon, expected next February, will be the largest yet at $160 billion.

However, Al Gore’s costs by Globalwarming, may well exceed those figures, i quote;

Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world’s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.

Wow, already 259 entries in Technorati, sounds like the competition is fierce. 

I just discovered that my site was auto-discovered by Technorati due to pingomatic, got to love it.

Let’s write something about real global warming to actually contribute something to that cause, instead of just trying to win that car

Off course i googled away and found some wiki pages on global warming, i also recall having downloaded that movie from president wannabe (and should-be) Al Gore, which i never bothered to see.

And then there are the sceptics, that urge to remember that every ten years there’s something we should be afraid off, just to boost the economy. 

I just want to cite the wikipedia here (what is global warming):

Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation into the future.

The controversy among scientists is if this Global Warming is human caused.
