The key to get people to link to your site/blog is good, compelling content. Links gained in bulk due to a post of two will help you for a short period of time. Keep the frequency of incoming links consistent and you will gain authority.

*snicker*

Well, I have been told in the last couple of weeks that I am due to having helped write the latest edition of Blogging For Dummies.

Although, I did just notice that the keywords “vancouver blogger war” show just how powerful my Empire is.

I think when I started blogging and was looking for other bloggers, your site came up, Shane – you’re a legend hehe.

Actually, it doesn’t take a huge amount of effort – just good content. A couple of years ago I had the highest rank for keywords like “vancouver blogger” but then I stopped blogging, lost a database, and lost the will to blog. It doesn’t really matter all that much. It is all in good fun, beer, and, well, more beer.

Classy all the way, as usual, Miss604. Cheers.

I can’t even fathom doing something like this with my blog. I dunno, maybe I don’t have time, or the know how. I’m pretty impressed by the effort you all put into it.

Oh I ain’t in the running, just reporting on the ‘blog war’ and supporting Duane cause he’s also giving away something fun (as previously stated with my “I’m perfectly content” with things as they are comment).

I wish you the best of luck in taking top spot in the Vancouver Blogger Challenge, Miss604. But I’ve had my day in the sun. In the words of modern philosopher Jerry Seinfeld, I CHOOSE NOT TO RUN!

[...] challenge was born, thanks to Vancouver communications guru and media maven Michael Klassen. 2008 Tech Woman to Watch Miss604 has also entered the running and she seems fairly intent on grinding Currents’ search ranking [...]

Game on, indeed! I’ll ride the wave as long as it lasts, but I have no doubt that what goes up, must come down eventually. Cheers, Miss604.

I accept your challenge. I shall reclaim my throne. Long live the Empire! (Insert your favourite Palpatine laugh here.)

I’m sorry to have begun this vain pursuit of mine to be #1 for the phrase Vancouver blogger. It’s entirely silly, a la Stephen Colbert’s Green Screen Challenge.

Nothing like a little friendly competition to hype this year’s Northern Voice, eh?

Game on, boys and girls. Game on.

Oops – sorry, I hit the “Enter” button way too soon. I’m not (not really surprisingly) the top entry for “raul vancouver blog”. But one of my guest posts on Miss604.com is

I’m actually the fourth from the top which means that, still, Miss604 is WAY more popular than I am <>

I’m the second top Google result for “situationship”. How about that?

Thanks for the outstanding live blog covering Vancouver’s 2nd Facebook Developer (& Designer) Garage and 1st in the new year. Now it should be just a matter of days until Google reshuffles the index and you will be #1 and “owning” “Vancouver Facebook” on Google. Doesn’t the best content win out after all in the end over all the search engine optimization tricks?

Yah, it’s totally the title tag. Both me and DARTH JEALOUSY have it as the first two words.

Thanks for the support! The force is strong in you people.

if you look at ‘vancouver blog tyler’ you get mine first

As for ‘vancouver blog’ I’m on the 13th page

Yeah Duane’s got “Blogger” in the title tag, that’s the key there. I’m perfectly content with “Vancouver Blog”… or even all the other crazy searches that lead to me site. Although I think Meg’s got a monopoly on stuff to do with “boobies”.
