We hate the bloody new championship league
Many competitors say they like the new championship league. We don't. They say good SEO is supposed to last, and therefore should be judged on weeks. They might be true in the "real life" but don't forget we are not in the real life. We were in a competition where every trick was allowed, the main one being to stay hidden until the last day.
We had built our roadmap to be first on D day, not during the next 3 months. The #1 ranked "mangeur de cigogne" is obviously THE target of the others. What will prevent them, in a competition where every trick is OK, to just copy and paste the content of the leading page?
For now, at ActuLab, we remain focused on our initial target (June 15). Should we change our mind and decide to reach the top before the deadline, we would for sure consider cloaking our page to hide it from our competitors. They're pushing us to crime with their bloody championship...

Parallel competition: championship league
So far the only goal of the contest was to rank first on mangeur de cigogne in Google on June 15. The organizers have just launched a parallel competition. Every time the official ranking will be published (twice a week), the top 20 sites will be awarded points. On June 15, we will have 2 winners: the real one, and the one of this championship league. We bet they will be the same ;-)
