SEOcontest2008 on Search Engines

I've been watching for our targeted term seocontest2008 on 3 major search engines and there are some strange things going on...

Google does not show more than 10 results for this term even though sites that are shown are changing every few hours.
For example our forum thread with term announcement was found less than 15 after my post but now it's disappeared...

Looks like Resonate is holding strong so far... :good:

I am just curious why G does not display more than 10 results:

seocontest2008 - Google Search

Yahoo still did not find any pages related to the term seocontest2008:

seocontest2008 - Yahoo! Search Results

MSN Live finally found one Squidoo lens but I don't see term "seocontest2008" anywhere on that lens:

Live Search: seocontest2008


Did anyone else noticed something interesting regarding the targeted term or contest in general?

I noticed this too, i can mention 6 sites that were there but are no longer there. Maybe this could be seen as the Google Sandbox kicking in?

Quite possibly the sandbox.
It will be an interesting experiment to be a part of regardless of end results.

maybe we will learn some definitive info about ranking for new sites/pages :good:
 
Update!

Just checked Google again and there are 483 results for SEOcontest2008 shown... :D

Getting more and more interesting!

Then again it could be Google messing with our minds, It will be most interesting to see what happens when a new completely fresh search term gets hammered solid for a couple of months.
 
First result on Yahoo just show up... Sure enough it's social bookmarking site :D
 
I checked several times today and G showed 432 then 158 an hour later. I hope G does not shutoff results for that term
