It's a pity Seocontest2008 Top100 page doesn't reflect the actual positions in the contest, hence in the last days many things changed.
I know a Google search will show up the actual positions, but it was very useful to see the "movers and shakers" on the Top100 page.
The site www. seocontest2008.com overtook seocontest2008.uk.com for the first place, while seocontest2008.org hiked up to SERP#5 !My tiny and ugly site is still indicated as being on SERP #83, while after the last jump of +12 actually it jumped +28 to #58.
Can something be done to have the Top100 script refreshing at least once per day?

Sandor,
But it refeshes once per day via cron job, sometimes the cron job fails and we have to update it manually, if you notice that it has not updated in 48 hours, let me know and we will look into the cron job
Thanks

Hi Temi, is the ranking from the Google API or is this a site scraper? Because the results does look different, although consistent with some tools like the one on seologs.com and also on seocentro.com.

It seems it is not updated since over 48 hours. Cron job may failed to run properly (some servers allow a too short time limit for the cron job execution, that may be the reason behind). Kindly, please update manually. |

Benj,
The creator of the application informs me that it does not use Google API, its a scraper script.

Thank you very much, now there is more fun to send site visitors and fans to the Top100 page. |

I am only wondering why BenjArriola's beautifully designed site seocontest2008.com doesn't show up on the Top lists, while he is on the top of Google search. Is it because his link is written with single quotes instead of double quotes?
On seocontest2008.com link is:
<a href='http://www.ukwebmasterworld.com/' target='_blank'>UK Webmaster World SEO Contest</a>
While on other sites link is:
<a href="http://www.ukwebmasterworld.com/" target="_blank">UK Webmaster World SEO Contest</a> |

I think I know the reason, some datacenters are showing no "www" in my SEOContest2008 entry and the site I have registered in the contest has a www so their pattern matching is not finding a match in their database.
But I really had to go through this change a few days back, but I expect it to fix itself after a few days. |
