Silver medal for Geansai Gorm News

With just hours to go, Geansai Gorm News is currently in 2nd position and on course for a silver medal in the Geansai Gorm Irish SEO championships.

It’s been a remarkable turnaround falling from grace earlier in the week to 6th or 7th, then getting back up and powering forward up to 2nd spot just as the finish line is in sight.

It’s a photo finish lads and Geansai Gorm News is now neck and neck for top spot. Who will win? It’s anyone’s guess… only google know the answer.

Tune in tomorrow to find out if we’ve bagged gold, silver or bronze or even finished on the podium at all!

Bronze medal for Geansai Gorm News?

At the minute, Geansai Gorm News is in 3rd spot in the Geansai Gorm SEO competition. That means, if things stay the way they are, we’ll be picking up a bronze medal in the Irish SEO championships.

There’s still two days left, loads can happen, but it’s nice to be right up there at the top, competiting for 1st spot in the closing days of the competition.

We’ve been consistent in our performance throughout. The site has been updated every 1/2 days on average with new content and after the first week or so, we’ve stayed on the first page and slowly moved up.

This week saw us lose some ground to competition, but today, we’re right back up there again, currently ranked 3rd in the competition - our highest position so far.

Roll on December 1st :-)

Gorm face to match the Geansai

The past few days we’ve been feeling a little gorm here at geansai gorm news. There’s one thing playing havoc with our bodies and that’s the weather.

You see, being an Irish person, living in Ireland, we’re not used to dramatic changes in heat and pressure etc… Now we’re world champions at adapting to rain - we’re pretty much guaranteed some sort of shower on a dialy basis.

But freezing cold weather mixed with air conditioners / radiators / climate control in cars / buses etc… is a recipe for a big heap of colds, headaches and general under the weather-ness.

Even the might geansai gorm can’t shield you from this weather. You need gorm gloves, a wolly hat and preferably two pairs of socks, boxers and trousers.

The sooner the ice caps melt, the sooner we can ditch our wolly winters and say goodbye to flu and colds. Roll on global warming!

race to the geansai gorm finish line

There’s now just a week left until this geansai gorm seo competition is over. We’re now in 5th spot in this competition overall. We’ve been pegged back since our last post. Frustrating…

Then again we knew it wouldn’t be easy, we’re prepared to battle it right down to the wire or thread. Whether it’s gorm, glas, bán, dearg or dubh, our geansai site was always going to be right up there competiting at the highest level.

There are some late runners gaining ground on us, that’s worrying but the again we’ve got the strength and power to fend them off. We have google’s trust and respect whereas these new guys can’t afford to make mistakes.

So one more push in this Geansai Gorm competition and you never know where Blue Jumper News could end up. No.1 spot is looking less and less likely as time goes on, but a top 3 finish is definitely on the cards.

5 bad things that are blue

We all know a geansai gorm or blue jumper is the best coloured jumper out there, but what about other gorm coloured stuff? What do we associated with blue that’s bad? Here’s the answers…

1. Windows Vista

The Vista OS has been a complete and utter flop for Microsoft. It’s an overweight, RAM hogging monster which does everything XP did only with fade in / out effects and pop ups to warn you you’ve just clicked on something. Before you get all geeky on me, yes i know, you can disable all that yourself but the average joe can’t. Vista is primarily blue by default, making it to no.1 spot…. plus everyone hates Microsoft so why not throw some more coal on the fire whilst we sit back and laugh.

2. Ink

Pen & Ink

by mbgrigby

How many times have you placed a pen unknowingly in to your pocket, forgot about it, discovered it later along with a large pool of dried in blue ink for company? Ink sucks and so do pen manufacturers for not ensuring their pens are indestructible. Burn all the pens and boycott the ink! This is the e-era… we don’t need ink and paper and all that stuff… that’s SO last millenium.

3. Ice

Is ice blue? Don’t know, water is though and water is blue which in turn forms ice so feck it… ice is blue. Who in the right mind wants to prevent global warming and stop ice from melting? What good does cold weather and ice do for us? None at all… Heat this sucker of an earth up and melt that ice! Hot weather for everyone, no ice on the roads = less deaths, plus we’ll all save a tonne of cash on energy bills throughout the ‘winter’.

4. Blue Bottles

Hey you, big man! I'm a little fly...

These little gremlins are in fact black but they’ve got blue in their name so feck it… bzzzzzz. bzzzzzzzzz. BZZZZZZZZZZZ. Smack! That’s generally how a human will typically react to the blue bottle. Unlike wasps or bees they don’t sting, so we don’t run away from them. These little idiots usually try to escape a house after entering through an open window or door. They don’t have the cop on to go back the way they came so instead they ram themselves against windows in an attempt to smash the glass and make a dramatic escape.

5. Police

Police can be one of the best things in blue on this earth, but for many, when faced with these blue power holders, it usually means a fine, court appearance, slap on the wrist, beating or death. All of those don’t sound particularly appealing and hence the reason these men (and women) in blue are often loathed by people around the world.

Potential Controversy

Today, we noticed some interesting developments in the SERPS, something which could cause some controversy when it comes to decided who wins this geansai gorm SEO contest.

The rules state that;

  • “Only want the homepage to rank, not other non-useful pages”

So one can only assume a subdomain or directory indexed in google, doesn’t count. If that assumption is indeed correct, it means a podium finish is now on the cards for bluejumpernews.com as we’d be placed 3rd in the competition, overtaking mybluejumper.com on this rule.

More progress, more movements in the SERPS and we’re really mixing it up now right at the very top. The current leaders will no doubt have an “if it’s not broke, why fix it” attitude which means we can continue to experiment whilst we try to overtake them.

Our momentum at the moment, would appear to be enough to challenege for top spot on december 1st so it’s a cat and mouse type scenario. I’ve no doubt they’ll be keeping a close eye on us and vice versa. If we begin to creep in to the top 3 spots in google.ie, we could perhaps face a backlash from the big guns who desperately try to pull away.

With 12 days left, anything can happen and the geansai gorm war is still ongoing. As promised, we’ll battle to the end and make sure that if we don’t win it, we’re pushing ourselves and our enemies to their limits :twisted:

coming up on the outside

4 days ago, we were ranked no.7 in google.ie for geansai gorm.

Today, we’re up to 5th spot and are actually ranked 4th in the geansai gorm competition. We’re now a contender, a threat and have to be treated with caution - we are the dark horse coming up on the outside and we have the momentum.

Although we’ve only really made progress over the last week, we’ve been on the ball from day one and at long last google is recognizing that.

Geansai Gorm 17th Nov

There’s just 14 days now to go in this competition. At this stage, any new site entering won’t stand much of a chance which means we’re now at a key stage in the competition where we know what we have to do and who we have to beat in order to secure no.1 spot.

No.1 spot, from the off, was always the goal. Nothing else will be accepted until the competition ends.

Geansai Gorms in Space

Nasa have launched their final rocket of 2008, Endeavour, which is on a mission to the International Space Station.

It’s carrying extra gear to make some improvements to the Space Station such as adding a second toilet, some excercise equipment and new sleeping compartments.

There are currently three crew on board the space station but Nasa plan to add another three next year. On this mission are 7 astronauts pictured below in their gorm suits :-)

Sesame Street Fever!

Just like our gorm friend, the Cookie Monster, Geansai Gorm News is slowly starting to munch it’s way through the competition one by one.

We’re now sitting pretty on the frontpage in google at no.6 for the term ‘geansai gorm’. Whilst this is a great achievement, there’s still a lot of work to be done and at least 5 more sites to chew through.

We’ve added a Youtube profile to our profiles page and we’ve one or two more tricks up our sleeves yet. As with any of these sites that are made for fun, finding the time to toy with them is difficult but i guess everyone is in the same boat - it’s not as if there’s one guy in this who owns and runs a full time geansai gorm website as a business :cool:

The Evil Geansai Gorm

“Put that geansai gorm on before you before you go out in to that cold weather”, said Mrs Fishmore. “Aye aye”, said little Tommy Fishmore and with that, he pulled the dark blue geansai gorm over his head, temporarily blinding himself due to the geansai gorm’s natural ability to block out light with it’s tightly woven wool threads.

Little Tommy fled the house and upon leaving the front gate, ripped the geansai gorm from his chest in one smooth swooshing motion. “Take that you evil piece of clothing… now prepare to die as i fetch a rock to squash you with”.

Little Tommy left the geansai gorm in the middle of the footpath whilst he skipped along trying to find a nice big rock to throw at the geansai gorm.

Meanwhile, John-Joe Tierney from up the road left his house, as he does every morning at precisely 7.59 a.m. to walk to work. He too wore a geansai gorm. Not the same as little Tommy’s though, this one was much lighter in colour… it was also an XL. Little Tommy’s was a Medium.

As John-Joe walked down the road towards the geansai gorm which little Tommy had thrown off of himself, a crow appeared on a nearby chimney top, followed closely by a mafia gang of crows. John-Joe glanced up at these birds and kept on walking towards little Tommy’s geansai gorm - oblivious to the fact these were in fact mafia crows gathering around suspiciously and not just regular crows.

As John-Joe approached the geansai gorm, a gust of wind blew the jumper on to his moving feet. The weight of the geansai and manner in which the sleeves wrapped itself around John Joe’s feet, forced John Joe to the ground… tripping him badly and smashing his oval shaped head off a nearby postbox on the way down.

John Joe remained motionless. A flock of crows swooped down and pecked at John Joe’s shoes until they fell off. Eventually, they got both shoes off and two larger crows grabbed them by the laces and proceeded to fly off.

From out of nowhere, two gunshots were fired… it was little Tommy - armed with an AK47 and 3 flash grenades. The jumper which was wrapped around John Joe’s motionless body, slowly began to move in a moonwalk fashion across the road.

At this stage little Tommy was sprinting towards the jumper, grenade in hand, pin in mouth. Suddenly, a freak tornado touched down and due to the variation in wind speed and direction, little Tommy swallowed the grenade pin and dropped the flash grenade at his feet. 2.5 seconds later, blood sprayed out in a perfect 360 degree circle, the tornado inhaling it all and removing any trace of little Tommy.

The geansai gorm rolled in to the tornado and sped up in to the sky, never to be seen again…
