Update as of July 23, 2006
This entry is still showing #4 out of ... wait for it... a whopping 216,000 results in google.
The keywordchecker at digitalpoint however is showing me at #7 - I have found that the rank checkers are not very accurate generally.
I included an rank checking tool in my seo pages to check the ambatchdotcom seocontest rank on multiple google ip's and for the last several days it's been showing me at 5 or 6 but a manual check seems to contradict the results.
In other news, my other entry, for ambatchdotcom seocontest
is showing up on the digitalpoint check as number 20 (a manual check shows 22) but it's something anyway!
Below is a snipit of a conversation between myself and another entrant discussing the potential for sharing of information between contest entrants. Some interesting thoughts so I thought I'd share.

What up to date information?
The only reason I visit the forum is to see who is bragging about what...
It is unfortunate that more people are not offering suggestions to the
beginners in the contest (like Ken)... have their eyes set on the 4
grand I guess

ya,
but I didn't really expect people to share secrets - maybe a
congeniality award for the participant who is most willing to help
others.
However, that said, I have no idea what I'm doing right or wrong -
I don't think the google results are representative of much right now -
I think it's the people that got lots of content right off the bat and
who have maybe built some decent back links.
I have 2 other entries that have good domain names and good content
but I can't even get them indexed right now - there are probably a few
like that and I'm guessing that once they get indexed, we'll see the
top 10 start changing (not my sites particularly but others who have
entries)
I have never done anything more than basic seo so seeing my entry
in the top five is a real blast - but I'm not expecting it to stay
there with limited resources - it will be hard to keep up with those
more experienced and those with contacts they have built up - never say
die though!
