SEO Contest 2008 Thank you BZimage

Seocontest2008 is in the last few days. The competition is working very hard to stay in the lead or to get into the lead. Kineticdc has climbed up to as high as 2nd but the page is currently bouncing from 12 to 14. Not bad for a manufacturing business owner against 300 SEO experts... Google has been finicky lately, changing the update pattern with frequency and depth. Many SEO consultants believe that this is a sign of a new Google Update Pattern. None of the contestant pages have pagerank but many have thousands of links pointing to their web page.

:) Thank you to BZimage members
Looks like I will finish 12th in the SeoContest2008.

I need to thank some members of BZ for encouraging me and helping me while I have strained my talents in the SEOcontest2008.

1. Gotlinks - As admin of BZ he allowed me several threads and posts about the contest, even tho it is sponsored at another forum. Gotlinks also traded me for a PR6 link for my SEO page. Thank You Gotlinks!!!
2. Resonate - He took me over to enter into the contest and gave me a lot of tips to improve my position in SERPs. Thank you Resonate !!!
3. Iowadawg - Dawg has been very generous with links in directories, web sites and blogs, and especially generous with his 7,000+ sig links at another forum. Thank you Iowadawg !!!
4. Janneke - For the 1000+ sig links. Thank you Janneke !!!
5. Shadab, John and Tyler - Thank you guys for the links and the social book marks. You guys also showed my how to use the social book marking services. John also was very generous with blog links even tho he hates the contest.
6. And I am sure there are others who have helped without telling me. Thank you.
7. Any one I forgot to mention, thank you as well.

In all the help I received, I have a total of about 18,000 links to my seocontest2008 page. The largest single contributer being iowadawg. I have about 3600 directory links and 2400 blogger links from posts made by me and people I traded with. I have 300 links with PR, many PR4 and above and I have about 500 stumbles. Still, I am not on the first page (tough competition).

I want to thank all the members who helped me that I did not mention. These that I mentioned, have help and encouraged me...
