			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever noticed how well PDFs tend to rank for some specific targeted terms?  Well I have.  As many of my regular readers know, I am in the middle of an SEO contest right now so I thought I would see how well I could get a PDF to rank.</p>
<p>We will give it a little dash of link juice from KansasCitySEO.com by mentioning the sweet new <a href="http://www.scouttechnology.com/napkin-pirates/Napkin-Pirates-Finalize-Presidential-Primaries.pdf" title="Napkin Pirates PDF">napkin pirates</a> PDF that I found on ScoutTechnology.com.  </p>
<p>Go ahead and take a look at the file.  Notice I have it saved in a directory called napkin-pirates.  The file has a name with &#8220;napkin pirates&#8221; in the prominent starting position.  If you download the file and take a closer look you will see napkin pirates mentioned in the title, author, subject, and keywords fields.  The file resides on a domain with good PageRank.</p>
<p>Looks like this file should rank.  Now it is time for the famous wait and see game.  We will see how it goes.</p>

<p>The Kansas City SEO Club has thrown down a challenge and I&#8217;ve gone &#8220;all in&#8221;.  We have decided to have an SEO challenge and see who can rank the best and the most often for the phrase &#8220;<strong>napkin pirates</strong>&#8221; in Google on March 31, 2008.  Well naturally I have to take advantage of the asset that is the Kansas City SEO blog.  </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I have done so far.  This is a lie of course. It&#8217;s not all I&#8217;ve done, but I need the links.</p>
<ul>
<li>I figure this blog post has the chance to rank.</li>
<li>I have another blog post about the <a href="http://www.smokinsevens.com/napkin-pirates/napkin-pirates-unite/" title="Napkin Pirates Unite">napkin pirates</a> challenge on my Smokin&#8217; Sevens website.</li>
<li>I have a new website in place where I am going to sell to <a href="http://www.themedpartysupplies.com" title="Pirate Napkins for Napkin Pirates">napkin pirates</a>.  I am going to see if I can get that baby to rank inside of 30 days.  That could be a challenge.  Any of you readers who are kind enough to throw a link my way to www.themedpartysupplies.com, I certainly appreciate it.</li>
</ul>
