And BloodhoundBlog’s Eric Bramlett breaks the news:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Drumroll please……<\/p>\n

Team Eric!<\/a><\/p>\n

Eric Blackwell and his merry band of SEO’s\/bloggers truly proved the spirit of SEO – it’s all about the relationships.  Jennifer Karlan, Greg Swann, Ken Smith, Wayne Long, Judy Orr, Cal Carter, Mike Damman, Charles & Jacqueline Richey, and Matt Scoggins all need to take a collective bow.  Through the use of teamwork and some very strategic use of assets they individually & collectively own, they were able to control #1 from the second month of the contest to the finish line.<\/p>\n

There was a LOT of stiff competition here.  Ardell DellaLoggia<\/a> ran it tight all the way to the finish line.  Greg Boser<\/a> was in it, and then disappeared off the map w\/ a few weeks to go — everyone was anxiously waiting for the SEO Dark Lord to pop his head back in at 11:59 on April 30th.  The guys at newhomessection.com <\/a>finished #5, w\/ Mike Damman’s site PropertyHogs.com<\/a>, Ryan Ward<\/a>, Justin<\/a> from hismove (ranking well, though he dropped out early,) and then Jay Thompson<\/a> rounding out the top 10.  Wouldn’t you know it?  My post ended up at the top of page 2 – the story of my life.<\/p>\n

I’d like to thank everyone for participating, and especially thank Morgan Carey of Real Estate Webmasters for sponsoring the event.  Team Eric has decided to auction off the prize & donate the money to the Eco Preservation Society of Costa Rica (a favorite of Mike Damman’s.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Eric Blackwell told you he was going to win<\/a>. I told you Eric was going to win<\/a>. But the truth is, Eric won because he assembled a great team of very smart people who were shooting Google juice his way until the very last minute.<\/p>\n

Take a moment, if you would, to leave a comment to Eric’s winning post<\/a>. This is a remarkable achievement, and we all got to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

Bravo, Eric! And remember: Nice guys link back! \ud83d\ude09
