Google is fluctuating between zero and ten results … or at least from my vantage point here in Colorado. Hit reload a few times and you’ll see it change. This was the case early this morning and it still seems “stuck” … my guess is we’ll see some sort of update later today, but probably quite a bit of instability for at least a week, and then things will settle down … or at least until the black-hats show up!
BTW, there actually is another $3,000 worth of prizes in the contest from folks who jumped on after John announced the V-E contest - summary at the page in my signature.
So per your earlier blog comment Loren, yea, you could sure get some top-quality chickens for $7,000! ;-)

It should be interesting to see who comes out on top. The contest seems to have been split into two seperate contests. One links to the v7n forum, and the other targets Matt Cutts’ blog. The SERPs should be fun to watch.

Yahoo vs.Google
What are your favorites and which do you think will win?
I prefer Google for hunting for gifts. Google might not be an
ecommerce giant but it sure searches well.

FYI FWIW: Screenshots of the 10 results in Google (but often zero … but always funny Adwords on the side!), 0 results in MSN, and 274 results in Yahoo now available at 2006/01/16 updates in my signature.
V-E #3: Since John/V7N relaxed the rules, it’s quite easy for people to write a page that meets the rules for both camps. Greg Boser has chimed in to re-affirm he’s in (along with Matt and Todd) … so there is $7,000 up for grabs.

nothing new, yahoo is indexing more fast than google - but google is more relevant. (-:

The SERPs have changed DRAMATICALLY on Google since this thread was created - now they are up to 12,000 on many DataCenters as of the morning of January 17th…
It might be a good idea to keep a timeline archive or different SERPs to gain statistical insight to Search Engine Updates and inclusion norms and trends…

I was in the google is losing ground camp but now that I see yahoo’s results I am thinking that Google may have been slow but they now have some good stuff at the top. I mean my blog which had two posts about the contest was number one in Yahoo, with absolutly no backlinks with good link text coming to it, heck I am not competing in the contest at all. Of course this thread is now number three in G and its not competing as far as I can tell either.
I am watching and reporting on the contest over at my new blog v7ndotcom elursrebmem tracking

Really how many people are participating in this contest?
I´ve heard everything from 300 to 5000…
My page jumped to rank 26 earlier today :) and this is a new site, so it makes you wonder, perhaps there are not that many competitors around.
