Good week all round, Tim Nash is not exactly the hottest contested domain name, my site been at number 2 for a while now, but that final hurdle in the end was just time and a couple of nice inbound links from drupal.org and searchenginewatch helped!

Congratulations Tim, I know how exciting getting the top spot can be!Here's my number 1 - took a long time (uhm, probably a lot longer than it did for you I would guess as I was learning as I went along)
http://www.google.com/search?q=your+message+consultantThe top 4 for my name all refer to me, but unfortunately my site is the 4th place one. ???

I should quantify I started the site specifically to get to the number 1 spot, and the other sites to get the first 10 on page 1 of the SERPs this was started back in December last year but I was sandboxed for 3 months, once out of the box went straight to number 2 and a few weeks later number 1. Its odd to manipulate your own name and at times quite challenging but fun. The experiment is over for the time being I will be happy with that though its hardly my first number 1 LOL

Wow Olaf, that must get you some traffic.
Sorry, Tim, didn't realize it was part of an experiment. On second glance, I didn't mean to imply it was your first #1 - I had just thought it might have been a challenging one. I'm surprised I have the top 4 for my name as my surname is the same as a very famous golfer in this country and in the past he has held the top spots for my name (without quotes) even though his name is Bob and not Michele. :D
I would assume you had similar issues with Nash and the ramblers and with a popular name like Tim.

I cheated a bit went for Tim which is the name I use any way Timothy Nash would have been a lot harder, Mind_nl it still going through the data centres some are still on the old result some new, indeed in Retford (3 miles away) I was number 1 here I'm number 2 but give it a day and I will be number 1 everywhere....

I remember a funny thing on my website in the first month: I got a top 5 listing with "over php" because that was part of the page title of my dutch language main page. "over" is about in the english langauge.
I have also a loty of hits for "easy php" while this php installement is never mentioned (I have a class named "easy php upload") :)

I didn't know you worked for Berg Toys Olaf, I thought you just did their website as a project. Last weekend I rented some Berg go-karts at Landal Greenpark for my kids, somehow I had to think about you Olaf! LOL
