SEO IBIZA - SEO POWER
This page is an experimental page, playing with the SEO Power of the (real) PR / Outbound link ratio.
It is brand new (2 months) and as yet is still greyed out in the toolbar, however we do know that the rest of the site is likely nearer PR2.5 -3 than zero, and showing tbPR4 on the domain and 3 on several pages, and so are assuming that as there are sitewide links to this page, it should in fact possibly have a real PR value of perhaps 1.8-2.5? It is guesswork, but the figures don't really matter, it's still a reasonable amount to focus back out of one >> "MOTHERLINK" << off the page.
This page and two more like it, with either no links offpage from them at all, or nofollowed links back to the rest of the site, and only "power links" offpage, focused at our seo contest 2008 experiments post on the Spec Ops blog were basically responsible for about 60% of the effort required in holding us in the top 30 positions for the first 5 weeks of seocontest2008 with the rest of the linkstrength coming from two personal sites using the same principles.
We cached the "seo power" pages with the contest links on them, and then gradually applied sitewide links to them all, ensuring a gradual increase of "link pressure" as Google naturally recached our site, passing in more and more juice, and passing it back out of the one link onpage.
Apart from a few blog comments posts and a few forum links, we did nothing else. Well apart from go on a major link mission to power up our own site, our powerbase out.
We also purposely didnt give our post the strongest possible titles either and opted for addition of "experiments" to further continue experimenting with the "power" seo theories after the contest. (Now)
Obviously, the contest post title and the link above have the same anchor text. By the time you read this, the link may have cached. If this is a strong link then we would expect that our post, currently showing at Google #8 for seo + contest + 2008 + experiments should have risen in that search by then also?

10.05.08 Test 1 Update - the page did exactly as was predicted, the post rose to #1 in less than one week, pushing past the overall seocontest2008 #3 winner on the way. ..Check the search above.
22.05.08 Update - Motherlink to the contest post removed, post falls to #2 - #6 again.
Test 2 - will changing target of the link to the motherlink blog post push it from #8 for the term past a PR3 site titled "Motherlink" ? ..will keep you informed as always.
Please Note: there are now 9 "live" links off the page, rather than just the one, so this is only 1/9th of full "Motherlink" strength "
25.05.08 Test 2 - Update - page cached, post jumps to #2 in 24 hours :)
We think this link should be strong enough to push target post to #1 in 2-4 weeks. If not we will slowly nofollow the other links off page until we get up to the full motherlink strength again.
