[...] Basic, basic things. And well, the list could go longer. Then again, maybe at the end of the game, we’ll all just end up wondering what happened. Just like what Mr. Abe said on the first SEO Philippine contest, maybe there wasn’t a lesson to be learned, after all. We’ll see if there are lessons to be learned this time around.

I personally think Whin Clores did good in catching up from no where to chase everyone to number 2.

Gio and Rostom got in there early and was maintaining it.

Berlin here reporting on the Isulong SEOPh contest:
This is a very special shout out to the winner of the Isulong SOPh contest Gio and his Family from me and my Family nanayonting here in Cebu.
Congratulations for winning the Isulong SEOPh contest. You are indeed the # 1 BLOGSLINGER in the Philippines. Truly an honor and an accomplishment.
Also from Cebu, congratulations to your Family and especially you’re Mama. Kuya seoluv came back from Manila and promptly reported to all of us here, multiple times, how impressed he was with your demeanor and your manners. He relayed to our large Family here the fact that you personally approached him and thanked him for coming. He also relayed to our large Family here in Cebu that he thought that you had the loveliest manners of any young man that he had met in a long time. All of my Aunties of course immediately placed the credit for this toward your Mama and you’re Family for raising such a fine, polite, well mannered, and talented young man. You are the pride of the Philippines Gio, and a role model, keep up the good work

Congrats to the winners! Actually I was following the linking strategy of isulongseophil.com of gio which mostly came from forums and that made our site to top 4 during the first week of aug.. But unfortunately our site got penalized during the last45 days of the contest, i think because of over optimization, and was hoping to bounced back but google just wont.

Anyways the contest’ result shows that it is the no of links that decided the winners…

[..]no i never said anything about “comment spamming”. what i said at the awarding was “magaling lang akong spammer”, which is a joke. But in a way it can be true.[..]

I wonder if this is part of the winning strategy of Gio Castro:

1. Create article directory or article submission sites (i.e., ArticleWheel.com, BreezyMouse.com)

2. Put a link from those 20,000+ articles pages to your isulong seoph site.

Does automation spell SEO success?

Couldn’t? Or wouldn’t?

It’s hard to believe comment spamming was all it took. Maybe there were a bunch of other techniques.

Or perhaps he was just lucky in the sense that there was no formulated strategy — all he did was build a web site better than the rest, and Google rewarded him with the number 1 slot in the SERPs?

I wonder if those who ranked #2 to #10 have anything to share with us regarding SEO.
