Well,  it almost is!

According to my understanding, the contest gets over at midnight on this coming Wednesday. it cannot be soon enough! Not because I don't like hanging out with the team (grin). They have been great and we will be hanging out a lot in the upcoming future. More just because I am road weary. 3 months is a long time to have this on the back of your mind.

I have learned a lot and made new friends along the way. For the record, I think that SEO contest like this are kind of like a dance that my middle school aged kids might go to. They have the potential for the experience to be good or bad. If you join in the fun and make friends, they can be unbeleivably fun. If you are a wallflower or hang back and do not dig in to what is going in, it is not near as positive an experience. Just my opnion, of course. One of my sons asked me about an upcoming event at his school recently. My reply was that if you are going to be there, then you might as well BE THERE 100% and have a great time. He took my advice and had a great time. I think the same thing goes with this, you get out what you put in.

The internet is a big place. It is nice to have friends to hang out with and learn stuff from and try stuff with as you go along. We are almost at the finish line for this contest. But the real contest in using the internet as a marketing vehicle never ends.

Right on target Milan.      I am glad to know when the exact end of the contest is.    I guess we will be staying up late Wednesday night.   Is that midnight Louisville/Columbus GA time or is that midnight Austin Time?

How many Google delegates (data centers) constitutes a win?

Well said. I now understand why the team model is the defacto technique to win SEO contests. It's also helped me realize how important networking is online just as it is offline.
