What I learned...
- Start as early as possible, don't get lazy!
- MSN can't read 301 redirect to non-www using htaccess. I've waited for two months to take effect but nothing happen, though I'm still lucky that I manage to get the #2 rank at the end of the contest.
- Yahoo has a problem on ranking a website which is currently listed on Yahoo directory. Don't redirect (301) your domain to you contest entry, NOYDIR seems not working and contiues to ignore by yahoo bot. I added 301 two weeks before the contest end and my rank decreased and almost vanished from the first page . I decided to take off the 301 redirect two days before and luckily again I finished rank 5 though my Google decreased by 1 rank.
