Nice contest. I don’t agree with your friend when he said “We, SEOs, have little excuses now and can’t tell our clients/stakeholders that it will take a few months for our changes to be seen and computed by Google. Nowadays, the big G crawls the web every day.”

Gogole always crawled the net every days. Fact is they now consider social media power important even than an H1.

On page – keyword related techniques
Off page- link related tecniques

: )

Other than that I agree with you 100%, the speed of Google, indexing two very humble blogs so quickly is very impressive. Remember that it needs to index the pages where I build links from too.

Note: See that I have already dropped two positions in Google.com. I think that link velocity (the speed and regularity with which you get links to a page) might also be important.

Second note: I am not going to build more links to the page. Firstly, because I don’t have the time, and secondly because I want to see how long it takes for the page to go down.

Third note: testing nofollow link in this comment to see if it passes some value ; )
