Hi flood6 and everyone else,
Not sure why I was brought into this and rather you where being nice or mean to me but since my name was brought into I will give my two cents.
I think a competition would be great.
I also see Black Knight's comments and would have to say that when you take a new website and put it up against a five year old website it will take time to compete for those key words.
I'm not sure how old Black Knight's website is and I'm sure that it ranks good but I would bet it is a lot older then mine.
My site is about 8 months old and I did not work on it the first two months.
Then I worked on it for a couple months and had to stop because we got more work then we could do.
I'm ranked for about 50 something key words in the top 20 on Google alone and hold the same
pr as Black Knight.
I only learned English about a year ago and I'm sure there are a lot of little tricks and things that Black Knight knows that I do not.
But my point is this if in six months I have gotten ranked for over 40 different key word phrases and have got the same pr5 as Black Knight I wonder where I will be in another 6 months.
Because your ahead on this word or that word does not necessary make you better it just means you have been doing it longer.
When you want to compete for a key word like "web marketing" that just happens to be in your url you already have a very big unfair advantage.
To try and make people feel bad for wanting to have a competition I think is just.... mean.
My point about my site compared to yours is this. You never know where everyone is going to be in another year or who you may need.
So just because your baker does not want to be in the bake fest does not mean he should be mean to the other cooks.
His boss may eat some of the other food and hire the old cook a new boss.
My English is not as good as yours and I may have trouble bringing my point across but that's life.
There is my two cents.
