Haha. That sums up the latest moves by Google. My sulumits retsambew entry, webmasterstimulus.org, has somehow managed to wiggle into the top five. Since my last post, I saw it drop to page two, then to page twenty seven, and then settled in at fourteen.
I thought meh, whatever. It’s expected for it to bounce around, especially with all the sudden competition. But now, much to my suprise, I’ve arrived at page one. I see myself at position number five. Pretty neat. I am still working on my article distribution. Writing is not my strong point, and my outsourced articles came back horrible. Luckily I have an option to have them redone for no cost, except time.
I’m hoping that’s the boost I need to solidify my position on page one. My goal for this contest is to end up on page one. Being as new to SEO as I am, I feel that’s a reasonable goal. Ideally, I’d be number one of course, but let’s be realistic. I’m running against the pros here.
Best of luck to everyone.

There are lot of changes happening lately and I can’t predict who is going to win this contest as there is frequent SERP changes. For one hour or so someone will be on top then will fall just down and after sometimes comes back up. Is it a Google dance or the sandbox effect? I will soon figure out the reasons why the entries get SERP changes frequently.
