I received the following new business enquiry. The email was from a domain belonging to a company selling kitchen worktops:

I wrote back in January about my entry into the SEO World Championships. To remind you, it’s basically a competition to get a new web site to rank top on the major search engines for the phrase “globalwarming awareness2007“. I managed to get the site listed in Google within about 2 weeks of launch. Not bad. Yahoo listed it shortly afterwards. MSN on the other hand is being a pain in the digital backside.

Anyways, the site was listed in about 197th position on Google yesterday when I checked. Hehe, a long way off the leaders. It’s not surprising really, as I haven’t done any work on it.  There is only the one page with little text.  However, I have a master plan, which I’ll soon be unleashing on the World. There is no guarantee that it will work but I do reckon it will get some attention.

If you’re feeling generous, own a web site and would like to help, then please link to my web site http://globalwarmingawareness2007comp.com using the wording Globalwarming awareness2007.
