The Best Indian Business School Blog
November 10, 2004 12:53 AM
Update: This is a sticky post till Nov 25th. Obviously for the contest.
Here comes the Nigritude Ultramarine of the Indian Blogosphere. 
Sponsored by Google, ISB has introduced an online contest to find the first site in Google for the phrase "The Best Indian Business School Blog". That…is not what I would call my weblog. In fact, I am in no b-school either. But, what's the harm? The name of the contest is Searchlight. Now in case, you feel the urge to help me out, add the following code to your weblog post, unless you too are participating -
<a href="http://nilesh.org/weblog/">The Best Indian Business
School Blog</a>
Dhar, is that you? Google, ISB, SEO …?

There is way TOO much variation in the results everyday... Hard to predict what will happen... :(

This is getting interesting. Google is constantly shuffling the blogs up and down. For a day, I was completely out of the first page. The next day, I topped the search results. Now, I have dropped down again.

I am half-tempted to go for this, given the enormous power I weild in the blogosphere. ;)
But naaah, I'll let you folks play for it instead. Is there a prize?

On second thoughts, your entry into this will excite the atmosphere here. Yes, there is a prize. Which is why all the selling is going on.

Cutegirl/ISB, I seem to have missed Google's monthly indexing cycle. Google did not index my website after the 11th of this month. And it found fresh content elsewhere after that. That's why the 'jhatka' . Now only if somehow magically, Google manages to spider my website before 25th… *Sigh*

Hmm, looks like we have similar problems. Check out my latest post; it deals with similar topics. :)
