"the four required words"

So out of laziness and having other things to do i havent drove any traffic here and i dont think im going to. Like i said in the last post i was thinking about joining an exit exchange and an autosurf that allowed 1 pop so i can increase the traffic to "the four required words" blog to see if that actually helped in search engine placement. Well that idea has been scrapped and for no other reason than i really dont feel like it.

So "the four required words" contest seems to be in full swing, and there are probably combined close to 100,000 results all together and it keeps growing each day. Our goal was to obviously be 1st in all search engines but that really is a tall order. And id be happy just being 1st in one of them.

If you goto the contest page located here milliondollarscreenshot.com/seo-contest/ you can see that we are within the top 5 of all search engines currently for "the four required words" that are required for the seo contest. And im satisfied so far with the results.

Im no search engine expert and i dont claim to be, i have just used very basic SEO techniques, that anyone can learn with a little research and some experience with building proper meta tags along the way. This has been fun so far, and if you arent participating in the contest all i can say is find one to participate in because its fun, and you can learn a few things while your at it.

I have noticed that Yahoo indexes web pages slower, but in my opinion is the most accurate and happens to be my favorite search engine. My feelings on Google are mixed, i personally do not like the results i get when i perform searches for things im really looking for and the amount of results that they produce is enourmous and fast but not by any, means precise. A9 is just like google so theres no need to comment on it. MSN on the other hand is like a mix between Google and Yahoo. I find the search results more precise than google and the pages get indexed faster than yahoo, and is in about the middle when it comes to results. Of course that is just my opinion from what i have experienced and others experiences may have been different.

Well thats all for now from "the four required words" blog. Be sure to stay to visit like once a week if you want. There is also a ton of free ad space open and if you want it just ask. "The four required words" blog will be around well after the contest has completed and we are receiving mostly traffic from fellow webmasters who are interested in the four required words contest and the required four words for the seo contest.

Its May 1st theres only 15 days left in "the four required words" seo contest

"The Four Required Words", what four words could the title be that are required. To start we would have to look at previous words required and what they will require and they must require four words.

Here is some of the things that should include top four (4) required words. Although in order to include "the four required words" we will first have to find out what four words are required. Now normally any four words will do, but "the four required words" will have to be the phrase the four required words and it needs to include quotes.

The 1st word - The - is obviously the first required word and it follow the begining quotes
The 2nd word - Four - is the second word required following the first word
The 3rd word - Required - is really required because it is the third required word
The fourth word - Words - brings the phrase all together and is the fourth word

When putting all of the four required words together it would look something like this:
the four required words

but we have forgotten to put the quotes around the four words. When done correctly the four word phrase should look like this: "the four required words" - and is the correct way

An incorrect way would be like the example shown here below:
"the", "four", "required", "words"
As there really isnt any reason to include quotes around all of the four required words, just in the beginning and end of the phrase "the four required words" .

Take any four (4) required words for example such as:

"wow im an idiot" - these four words are important because if you are reading this you probably think "boy what an idiot" and although its not required it may as well be true
"who farted it stinks" - well again this isnt required but i just farted four times and burnt the words off my keyboard not to mention ripped four holes
"wet farts smell great" - this is not true, most of the time you do four wet farts and your underwear will be required to be changed, cleaning is easy with a newspaper without any words
"i need a job" - and believe me using four words that have no required value wont get it done and wont get me one either

So now you should have a better understanding of "the four required words" but if you still arent sure i have written a poem to make you understand these four required words better. I dont think it rhymes or makes any sense but the point is to use four words required, who cares if it doesnt make sense. Heres the poem i hope you will enjoy it.

"the four required words", four
the required four words, required
the words FOUR and words REQUIRED smell like feet and make me tired.

Search results for "the four required words"

Every so often i check out the search results for "the four required words", naturally as i want to see where i stand in the rankings and also where others stand as well as see the quality of their content compared to mine. Needless to say i dont think content and how many words you stuff on your page plays a significant role in where you will stand in the search engine rankings. If it did than "the four required words" blog would be listed first. I just havent seen anyone with the amount of content pertaining to "the four required words" as this blog holds. What i have seen is alot of pages linking to one central contest page. These links come in from old established websites with good backlinks itself, doorway pages from free services like free blog hosts, and alot of free website hosts, and little networks that were built by the seo'er. These little networks can include directories, forums, blogs and linking to eachother and one central contest page. Now the best information for "the four required words" maybe the 5th search engine result down, but the only way you would know it would be to goto the first 4 result pages. This is something people often do when they are looking for anything or researching anything. People are always looking for the best information and often times the best information or what they are looking for isnt within the first few results. The reason for this is competition over the keyword phrase, in this instance its "the four required words", but it can be anything and the same thing applies to everything when your trying to get listed better for specific keywords.

What i tried to do with "the four required words" blog is not to build a little network or have 10 doorway pages to increase backlinks but to have just one page with good content or at least better than whats out their, and to get incoming links but not by creating a bunch of different keyword rich pages for free and linking to my blog. That method while is does to seem to be working will be more short term than long term, and i think the goal is to have your site or blog listed as high as possible for as long as possible. These methods will be weeded out and eventually dropped, and you shouldnt consider using them if your goal is long term. Seeing as how "the four required words" seo contest is short term, and most seo contest run for 1 year max, it might be a good method to use. But not for an e-commerce store whos goal is more long term, and i mean i havent met anyone who just wanted to stay in business for a year, and your approach to search engines should be similar.

"The four required words" blog however will be going and be up for a while after the seo contest finishes. And will carry into the next seo contest i enter, not as a competitor but as a backlink to my competition page. I feel this will be more of a quality relevant link than it would be to just throw up a few doorway pages, and all the time spent on this blog shouldnt and wont be wasted.

It basically comes down to how much you are willing to work and how much others are willing to out work you.
