See the two links http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=fr&q=Seocontest2008 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&q=Seocontest2008 No changes in top two places but 3 and 4 are different (or were when I looked) Is it because different servers are interrogated or is there something else that changes with the gl variable ? Which geographic location is used to determine the winner on April 1st ? - Neil Just noticed something that the geographic location (gl) changes the results of Google. See the two links

No changes in top two places but 3 and 4 are different (or were when I looked)

Is it because different servers are interrogated or is there something else that changes with the gl variable ? Which geographic location is used to determine the winner on April 1st ?

I don't know why but I have seen this many times in previous SEO contest. --------- On comparing G, Y and M. I must say in the previous SEO contest GlobalWarming Awareness2007, my strategy there was so different since you needed to rank high in all 3 search engines and there was this kind of commulative score. --------- @Eclipsis: Nice I wish I could visit one day there, wherever you guys are and just do some knowledge sharing. Last October 2007, I went back to the Philippines as a speaker at the SEMCon 07. Yahoo and Google Asia representatives were there. As well as several SEO personalities like Aaron Wall and Todd Malicoat. One thing I can say is Google Philippines and the rest of the Google Asia team are cool. They talked to us and shared a of info. The results were not only 600k+, it already reached 800k+ but Google does some sort of recount once in a while.

What went out from those discussions and meeting, was not very appreciable for us, anyway, we appreciated this intention. What Microsoft did on 2005, I think Google could have done on 2008. Anyway, even if they didn't met the contestant, as Microsoft teammates (which were very nice, cool and open-minded, yet good looking to for the girl ;)), they may have eared of this Seocontest2008 international contest and may look to it with attention... In case they do, I hope they enjoy all this. Soon, we'll organize a post-seocontest2008 dinner in France... If Matt Cutts (or anybody from Google) wants to come, he'll be welcome (but, he brings his girlfriend and a good bottle of wine :D). PS: Besides, if some other contestant (even from San Diego ;)) want to join us at such a dinner, just tell us, we'll organize the meet...

It looks like this SEO competition was fun ! However, I have to admit that I'm a little burn out from these kind of contests. Good luck for the final rush.
