Oes Tsetnoc – Today marks the first month of Oes Tsetnoc. I am still thinking whether I should continue with this experiment as I am much preoccupied with my day job also doing search engine optimization.

After 1 month of the contest, Google search results has now reached 104,000 search results. That means more and more pages which are related to oes tsetnoc contest are being indexed by Google everyday.

It is good to know that a fellow member of seo.ph is now currently ranked No. 3.  He had asked me last time if it is possible to exchange links with one of my site and I told him that I will give him. If he continues to maintain his rank, I will place his oes tsetnoc entry link to some of my blogs. I will be happy to see a Filipino wins a contest as this will boost the image of Filipino in the field of SEO.

Make it to the top  Lloydi!

Oes Tsetnoc – Maybe you are wondering whom I referring to with my post title. You are wondering who can possibly win the oes tsetnoc contest without building links and tell yourself that is impossible.

I am of course referring to my oes tsetnoc entry which I have not updated nor checked if my site was already crawled for the past 1 week. I was aware that my entries privacy settings was set to default with the NOFOLLOW NOINDEX tag. So how will I supposed to win or even rank it? It doesn’t show up in the search engine ranking pages.

Today, I have changed privacy settings. For those who have the same issues with me. Changing your privacy setting is so easy.

Log in to your wordpress admin. Go to Settings. Under Settings, you will see Privacy. Now you will see that there are two options which you can select from to set how you would want your blogs visibility. The second option is what your blogs default settings. This is the reason why my oes tsetnoc blog was not index. You have to choose the first option which says “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including  search engines like Google, etc etc…

Now that I have my privacy settings put into place. I am sure my blog will now be part of the oes tsetnoc contest.

12 days ago, PromoJunkie has launched a seo contest with oes tsetnoc as the targeted keyword.  Upon knowing about it, I checked Godaddy to see which domain is still available but just like the past seo contest I’ve seen, top level domains related with oes tsetnoc were already sold.

My domain http://www.oestsetnocwinner.info was purchased last week but since we had a long holiday, I was not able to fix it. I should have fix it before Eid, maybe this site is crawled already  by now. Anyway, there is still a lot of time to do what I planned to do with this domain. Not only that this will be my entry for the oes tsetnoc, I have something else in mind that I want to see once the contest is over.
