Comparing Ituloy AngSulong SEO Contest with the previous Isulong SEOph SEO Contest, the first contest was a keyword ranking contest for the keyphrase Isulong SEOph on Google.com.ph only. Today, the Ituloy AngSulong contest is a keyword ranking contest for Google, Yahoo and MSN. There are prizes for each individual search engine. And there is also a cumulative prize who ranks the highest in all 3 search engines.
With this in mind, several Ituloy AngSulong competitors have been building out their own tools for comparative ranking analysis.
- Benj Arriola’s SEOSearchOptimization: Side by Side ranking on Google, Yahoo and MSN for Ituloy AngSulong.
- Bloodred’s Top100X3: Side by side comparison and cumulative ranking computation.
- Dennis Agulo’s SEOBunker: Side by side comparison, cumulative ranking, PR, archived results and comments.
I have started on the SEOSearchOptimization and has just felt a bit lazy to continue on. With the MSN/Live API having problems with results being not the same the actual site, I have resorted to reading the RSS feeds but does not seem to reach page 2 of the search results.
Bloodred used the MSN API which has been showing results way different from the actual results. Thus this also makes his cumulative ranking innacurate.
The Goyams creator, Dennis Angulo, knowing the MSN API flaw, scraped the MSN rankings. He also stores his data, archived which prevents him from using the whole API daily limit on Google of 1000 queries a day. The added comments on the site is also very nice which makes his site serve a good link bait.
